Monster Hunter: World is a very special game to me, it was my first experience with the Monster Hunter series and my introduction to the franchise. I first started playing back in 2018 on PS4 as part of the new 5th Generation of Hunters , completely new to the series. At its core, this game isn’t special in the traditional sense —there’s no deep story , no memorable NPC interactions , and no standout characters . But for me, it became a second home , a game filled with countless memories and unforgettable experiences . It's easily one of the best games I’ve ever had the opportunity to play . This game is exactly what its name suggests—you hunt monsters , with an emphasis on the word hunt . You study their behaviors , trap them , exploit their weaknesses , and adapt to their strengths in order to take them down. You use various weapons, tools, and strategies to hunt these massive, catastrophic creatures, and it’s an absolute blast, especially with friends. I still remember being terrified of my first Anjanath , running for my life, screaming and here I am about to solo my first Fatalis (a super boss) though I’m pretty sure I’ll fail. This game has a unique, indescribable charm to it. It constantly pushes you to improve , giving you that butterflies-in-your-stomach feeling every time you hit a wall that seems impossible to overcome—until, suddenly, everything clicks . The "World" Aspect The name Monster Hunter: World couldn’t be more fitting. The environment is absolutely mesmerizing teeming with small critters, towering monsters, and breathtaking landscapes that feel alive. Getting all the achievements in this game led me to discover hidden caves, secret traversal paths, and entire areas I never even knew existed. And even now, I’m certain I’ve only scratched the surface. Every time I play, I learn something new not just about monsters or weapons, but about the world itself. Whether it's a hidden mechanic of a weapon, a subtle environmental detail, or an unexpected monster interaction, this game constantly surprises me. The sheer amount of content showcases the love and dedication of the developers, and it’s incredible to see how much thought went into every detail. One of the most immersive aspects is how monsters interact with their environment. They claim territories, warn you when you get too close, and engage in brutal turf wars when another predator enters their domain. Witnessing these battles unfold feels like watching one of the most cinematic moments in gaming history. I could probably write an entire essay about all the incredible things I’ve experienced in this world. Base Game & Iceborne Expansion The game is split into two parts: - Monster Hunter: World (Base Game) – This was my introduction to the series, and I already liked it. - Iceborne (DLC Expansion) – This is where I fell in love with the game. Iceborne forced me to "Git Gud" —Master Rank hunts are no joke, especially post-Iceborne content like Tempered Furious Rajang and Arch-Tempered Velkhana . No matter how much I improve, I still can’t beat them, but teaming up with random players and hacking away at these monsters is a ton of fun. The game is easy to pick up but hard to master . The difficulty spikes can be brutal and abrupt , so take your time, be patient, and adapt you’re a hunter, and finding a way to take down the monster is part of the challenge. This game isn’t for everyone —some might even hate it and never want to touch it again. But give it a shot—who knows? You might end up loving it just as much as I did. I loved this game so much that I bought it a second time on Steam, along with the Iceborne DLC when it went on sale. The DLC is locked behind the main game, so you need to reach a certain point before accessing it, but it’s 100% worth it. It actually provides more content than the base game itself but only buy it after completing the base game. ❌ Cons & Performance Issues This game isn’t perfect , and there are some performance issues , but they can be improved: - The game has too much unoptimized code that causes unnecessary performance drops. A simple fix is to install a mod called "Performance Booster and Plugin Extender" from NexusMods. This mod significantly improves performance and is easy to install. > Note: Mods in this game do not disable achievements , so completionists can use them without worries. - Turn off Volumetric Fog if you’re experiencing performance issues. Final Thoughts Monster Hunter: World is an awesome game. It’s nothing groundbreaking, but it’s a hell of a lot of fun. I’m planning to buy Monster Hunter: Wilds when it comes out, I played its open beta, and it was a blast. I might update this review if I manage to beat Fatalis, get 100% achievements, and finally wrap up this game . Fatalis boss Fight This fight was really well put together as the final boss of this journey. I have mixed feelings about it, but it’s a battle I’ll never forget. It forced me to engage with aspects of the game I had never fully explored before. At first, I struggled - attempting it multiple times over several days with no success. Eventually, I caved and looked up a guide, something I had never done before in this game. I ended up using a Bowgun strategy to chip away at Fatalis, slowly crafting two pieces of its armour. It was my first time using a Bowgun, and the game even gave me a short tutorial, which was hilarious given the hundreds of hours I had already spent in the game. The sheer amount of preparation and optimization required for this fight was insane smoke bombs, perfect evade timing, baiting its cone flame attacks, wall-banging it at the right moment, and learning how to position myself just right to maximize damage. There were so many micro-adjustments and strategies I picked up along the way. It felt somewhat forced, as I had to play in a very specific way to even stand a chance, but at the same time, I loved the challenge of mastering Fatalis. And the best part? After finally defeating it, the game sends you back to Astera. The familiar music plays, and suddenly, I was taken back to 2018 when I first started this journey. That moment hit me hard I couldn’t stop myself from tearing up. It was such a fitting, emotional conclusion to an incredible game - an experience that made me feel things I haven’t felt in a while.

You are the bad guy, the story makes you out to be a hero, you are not.... 10/10 would kill an innocent creature to make a hat again.

"Spending time with your cat! and I guess hunting monsters." is my first game in the franchise. I always heard that it was a franchise known for grind like crazy without a job, but that this game was the exception, and that's true. Out of the approximately 50 hours it took me to finish the game, I only grinded one monster because not all my weapons were effective against the fire kitty. Taking this context into account, let's begin with the not-so-serious review that arrives about 6 years late! Graphics and Aesthetics Visuals: For a game from 2018, it looks pretty good. There are contemporary games with better visuals, but Monster Hunter World holds its own, and in my opinion, it has aged well. You won't see the pores on the handler, but it looks good. Art Style: The art style is very immersive and distinctive, giving the game its own unique personality. Gameplay Hunting Mechanics: You feel like a true hunter, stalking and utilizing your environment to track and slay any monster that dares to look at you the wrong way. However, you always feel the threat posed by many species of monsters (especially towards the end), like the bomber plane with legs that ruined more than one of my hunts. Multiplayer: Honestly, I never used it because I prefer enjoying these types of games solo. But I had to mention it because it exists, although I have no idea how active it still is. I only shot off a multiplayer flare once in the entire game to get an achievement, but no one showed up ☹ Story Narrative: A story that could be described as 'linear,' but it's quite engaging. I appreciate how the New World (the continent) itself is part of the narrative. Nothing from the OTHER WORLD (get it? hehe), but it gets the job done. Open World: You can go on expeditions without specific objectives, just to explore and hunt anything that moves without time limits. It's quite fun and immersive just to enjoy the environment and the wild battles that turn a peaceful stroll into a race for your life if you weren't well-equipped (that pickle gave me a scare the first time it attacked). Progression and Gameplay Loop Progression System: Here comes the finely tuned gameplay loop of this gaming masterpiece. Pay attention: kill monsters to get/improve weapons and armor to kill stronger monsters and obtain even stronger weapons and armor to hunt even stronger monsters... I think you get the idea. It's incredible how addictive and well-crafted this system is. Rewards: If it wasn't clear from the previous point that I'm a fake human... well, there are many more rewards to talk about, like jewels, but it's better for everyone to discover those on their own. Challenges and Difficulties Difficulty Level: A progressively challenging curve that's quite accessible to anyone. There are certain monsters that present a sudden spike in difficulty (still traumatized by Nergigante), but overall, the hunts are challenging yet fair, making you feel that if you fail, it's because you didn't prepare well enough or because your cat has better reflexes than you (or maybe that's just me). PDF Tutorials: I didn't know what to call this point, but I mention it just to say that the tutorials seem designed to disrupt the gameplay rhythm, as some overload you with information even for the most basic things. It can be a bit annoying at first, but it's a minor inconvenience to survive to enjoy this amazing game. Sound and Music Soundtrack: Very memorable and immersive. Just listen to the theme of my nightmare generator, Nergigante. Sound Effects: Equally good as the previous point, although not mandatory, it's recommended to play with headphones. Conclusion One of the best games I've played this year; it's absolutely worth it! P.S.: Anyone who doesn't take their cat on adventures deserves jail time. The cat is the most important; monster hunting is secondary. Rating: 9/10 - you can't pet your cat"
