Really not as much of a fan of this one. The combat is trivialised by the new wirebug mechanic, and makes monsters feel like DPS sponges more than anything. I do think this one is likely a better introduction to the series than World if you're getting a friend into the series, considering its multiplayer system is less of a pain to deal with.

Incredibly fun and my first Monster Hunter game. The combat feels weighty and satisfying and was a great introduction to the series. The best of the game's content, however, is contained in the Iceborne DLC.
