Monster Hunter: World is a 2018 action role-playing game developed and published by Capcom. The fifth mainline installment in the Monster Hunter series, it was released worldwide for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in January 2018, with a Windows version following in August 2018. In the game, the player takes the role of a Hunter, tasked to hunt down and either kill or trap monsters that roam in one of several environmental spaces. If successful, the player is rewarded through loot consisting of parts from the monster and other elements that are used to craft weapons and armor, amongst other equipment. The game's core loop has the player crafting appropriate gear to be able to hunt down more difficult monsters, which in turn provide parts that lead to more powerful gear. Players may hunt alone or in a group of up to four players via the game's online multiplayer.
Runs well on modern hardware.

Honestly, I don't get what the fuzz is all about... you get to hunt monsters, that's it? Fine, I'll whack some of the ugly bastards, it can't be [i]that[/i] much fun— [h3]Oh, ♥♥♥♥ the hell, yes...[/h3] It feels like I started playing yesterday, can't believe 1000 hours can fly by like that. It's honestly so much fun, addictive and varied. The gameplay mechanics are so... so... [i]ugh~![/i] [h1]10/10[/h1]
i stopped playing this on nearly 200h playtime some years ago today i got back into it to play it with my wife got back into the controls fairly easy and will dive deeper into late game again really a classic this game
I have absolutely no issues with the gameplay, character/monster design, combat or anything like that. Monster Hunter games in my eyes are meant to be played together with friends and I doubt that this would be an unpopular opinion. The developers decided to make the main story missions of this game a terrible multiplayer experience. All players must individually seek out the monster, watch a cutscene, quit the mission and only then can you invite your friends into the lobby, making you run to the monster all over again. This is so absurd it sounds like a joke, how can this be real, how can these devs be so incompetent? Even after thousands upon thousands of complaints from players and years passing Capcom just decides to plug their ears and not listen. Ridiculous.
