I really, really enjoy Monster Hunter. It's one of the more addictive and creative games I've played in recent memory, and I was glad to have taken a chance on the franchise with World.

The game's worlds are beautiful and filled with life, and the Monsters inhabiting it help make it feel like the world is always evolving. The Monsters are all forces to be reckoned with, all proven to be a challenge to even the most experienced player. For each hunt, the player must research, attack, and adapt to ensure their success. Fights are long and grueling, but don't let that scare you away as the fights are never the same "rinse and repeat" combat that most games are used to utilizing. Depending on your build, each fight will be different allowing for each hunt to not only reward items for crafting but memories as well.

I played the game with a buddy of mine and we had a blast with it. Hunting Monsters with a friend gave me a wonderful gaming experience that is gonna be hard to beat. We both had different builds that we both took hours to complete, and our teamwork helped eliminate the feeling of "grindyness" the game holds within. It was a special way of playing, and I miss our little rag-tag team of hunters.

MHW is a masterpiece of a game. It's addicting, fun, and a bit challenging but it never outstays its welcome. While I beat the game a while back I'm still plowing through Iceborne with some pals, and I'm still creating new memories to this day. I wholeheartedly recommend this game to anyone, as I think everyone should give this series a chance.
