Talking about this game is difficult because I’m extremely torn on it on one end I love the mobility (even if it’s ridiculous to the point where you can almost fly) and on the other it completely breaks the game because the monsters aren’t equipped to deal with you zipping around the place with some exceptions.

Weapons are either absolutely braindead like the Longsword (which I use sue me) , severely underpowered like the poor Lance or butchered beyond belief like the Hunting Horn.

Music is also hit or miss listen capcom you really don’t have to fucking shove vocals into every single track it really devalues them when it matters the most. Tracks aren’t all bad tho Teostra and Rajang got good versions but others like Zinogre and Bazelguese got fucked up.

Content compared to previous entries is also severely lacking hopefully the upcoming “massive expansion” fixes that but it’s another $40 on top of this game so there’s that.

Despite all the negatives I don’t hate this game it’s just a disappointment after how good previous entries were. Now would I recommend this to a newcomer? It’s hard to say since it’s the easiest entry so people could just pick it up and play almost immediately but they are in for some shit if they attempt to play the other games which they should.

TL;DR to that mess above is : game is fine just really disappointing but I wouldn’t call it outright bad.

To the dev who made the charm RNG I will find you.
