Well-executed return to a more arcadey version of the Monster Hunter formula after the hugely successful deviation in World.
+ super satisfying gameplay with refined movement aiblities increasing freedom and general pacing
+ welcoming eastern-themed base town supported by a beautiful vocal soundtrack
+ extensive character customization including two personal support creatures
+ good enemy variety that is introduced gradually
+ strong visual style and solid graphics fidelity considering the release platform
+/- removed tracking mechanic and less world interaction overall
- no particularly interesting map concepts
- wholly forgettable story and characters
