Professional reviews from gaming critics

The Monster Hunter franchise is always unique in how every battle feels like a dance. I played most of Monster Hunter World: Iceborne solo and every monster might as well have been my dance partner. The way a Nargacuga gracefully circled me before a fight set the mood immediately. The Iceborne expansion delivers a sequel’s worth of content with how much it expands Monster Hunter World.

Monster Hunter Wilds is the successor that Capcom’s best-selling game deserves. It improves on almost every aspect of World to deliver a tremendous adventure that, if you can make it over the steep initial learning curve, remains the most rewarding action RPG around.

Monster Hunter: World is an endlessly charming and thoroughly enjoyable experience that has been going strong for almost six years now.

This long standing series makes an outrageously good current gen debut. The size and scope of the environments, and the monsters in them, is awe inspiring, making Monster Hunter: World a true (lizard) king of games.

The PC version of “Monster Hunter World: Iceborne” has officially landed on the Steam platform on January 10, and we had the honor to try this game and share with you the PC version of “Monster Hunter World: Iceborne”. Without further ado, let’s get this Iceborne review started.

When it comes to Monster Hunter, the level of depth in the game leaves a lot to talk about, and I don't think it's possible to capture everything in this review.

Monster Hunter Wilds is more of the same classic monster-slaying fun, but with new improvements and a seamless world to explore, the grind has never been better. This decades-old franchise still has plenty of fun left to discover.

For all its flaws, Monster Hunter: World is a game that manages to balance the expectations of newcomers while not straying too far from its roots. It is clear Capcom have tried their best to make it as accessible as they can without breaking tradition. This might frustrate new players who are expecting to have their hand held throughout the beginning, but if a newbie like me can pick it up in no time then it shouldn’t be too difficult for you. Long-time fans are sure to love the tweaks and changes that have taken place, and will feel right at home getting back to what they love – slaying mons...

When the issues of a game are rolled and stomped by its greatness, then it’s something to invest on if you have some spare.

So, the PC port of Monster Hunter World isn’t perfect. But despite its flaws, no other game compares to the thrill and sheer wonderment that beating a monster in a perfectly co-ordinated group can bring. In its purest essence, Monster Hunter World is simply about killing monsters to make better gear to kill bigger monsters. But boy, when it all comes off – which it does impressively frequently – no game comes close to it.

Many fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of Monster Hunter Wilds. Seasoned veterans and new players seeking to sink their teeth into the series have been eyeing this new entry to see what the game is all about. Since the release of Monster Hunter World and Rise, we’ve been eager for more of the series to make its way onto console and PC for more over-the-top and intense fights. But how does Monster Hunter Wilds compare to the past two entries that completely shook up how the series is played?

Video games often deal in illusions, proffering the fantasy of control and power even when your meaningful influence is minimal. Monster Hunter: World, the new third-person action game from Capcom, absolutely deals in fantasy. It plucks you from reality and sets you in the domains of exotically imposing monsters that you must hunt. In this game, however, the sense of accomplishment and pride that comes from felling them is anything but an illusion.
