Monster Hunter: World

Started playing dauntless because i wanted to hit big monster with big stick, but now I can hit bigger monster with bigger stick. Good game, good monster, good stick.

I just love being killed by an anjanath the first time I played this game.

(Those sons of stitches are on sight, I'm sure I almost got rid off their entire existance by now)

this game is honestly super great, i got it extremely late (after wilds came out) because i feel so deeply in love with monster hunter wilds, whilst there are lots of differences between monster hunter world and monster hunter wilds if monster hunter wilds hit that itch for you its likely that world will do the same.

O jogo é bom, mas chega um momento onde ele começa a ficar extremamente massante de chato de se jogar, depois de certo momento todas as caçadas que você for fazer vão ser muito irritantes de se realizar porque sempre tem alguma coisa para te atrapalhar no processo, o jogo simplesmente começa a te encher de problemas e atrasos para caçar, algo que poderia ser resolvido em cerca de 10 minutos vira algo de no mínimo 30 minutos até quase 1 hora e isso é chato demais. O jogo já exige por natureza passar horas jogando, mas ter que ficar ainda mais horas tendo milhares e milhares de atrasos por conta da dinâmica/natureza da parada é muito ruim, o interesse pelo jogo passa a diminuir cada vez mais quando você que precisa pegar rastro disso, completar vestígio daquilo, 2 a 3 monstros atrapalhando, correr pra lá e pra cá para acompanhar bixo, é muita enrolação.

Tries to capture monster whose weak as a feather, Deviljho comes in and bites the MF and kills it.
I fail quest and i dont play for 2 years. Im back and guess what. It happened again.

Very fun monster hunting game. Co-op can be annoying having to start story missions individually to see the cutscenes before being able to back out and then rehost the mission from the start with everyone. Tons of different weapons, monsters, armor, perks, etc. Diablos is best boi

I like the premise of the game way more than I like the game itself.

if you could skip all the town stuff and the (imo) frivolous crafting (like food and potions and stuff), and just focus on hunting and killing monsters, I would like it a lot more.

still, it is an ambitious, monster hunting game, with huge fights, lots of variety in those fights, and the combat is fun.

7/10

Been playing this game since right joystick to swing your giant sword, paintball throwing, resources node doesn't replenish and no free explore mode...seeing the game has evolve from janky and restrictive game mechanics to more fluid and freedom...from simple graphic and plain visual effect to a stunning...PC requirement...(A "wild" PC requirement)... and I have been hunting monster alone across several consoles, emulator and finally PC.
For me MH World is an introduction to MH franchise skipping the older title or you can play older MH title for old monster, map and more unique understanding why killing/captured a whole monster only give you 1 bone 1 fang and 1 scale.

I would say Monster Hunter starting with a humble unrecognized beginning keeping the old hunters to hang on it and enjoy the ever evolving experience, also introducing itself to new generation of hunters along the way and jumping in the wagon to hunt together.

Monster Hunter Wilds is out and has basically blown the player numbers of every previous title out of the water, so I don't feel as much need to really explain what makes monster hunter so good

What I do feel the need to explain however is that this game shouldn't be forgotten. Monster Hunter World is the game that got me into MH, and is a series I will truly never forget, and I feel inspite of how different mhw was to previous titles it was, it now to me feels like the last true monster hunter game, it added things like the clutch claw, non-segmented locations, damage numbers, and more heavily focused ecology, yet still was monster hunter game, while rise feels like monster hunter made by platinum games, and wilds is world accent core +R.

Regardless of my enjoyment of the other 2 games and the rest of the series, I will always come back to this game, this will always be what monster hunter is to me, and I thank it for that.

also it had leon kennedy and geralt so like really what else do you want?

As someone who enjoys RPG games, Monster Hunter: World is one of the most exciting and rewarding games I’ve played. I really like how the game makes you farm materials to upgrade your weapons and armor. It’s not just about getting stronger — you actually have to work for it.

Every time I meet a new monster, I have to study its moves and patterns. You can't just button-mash — you need to learn how each monster fights, which makes every hunt feel like a real battle. It's tough, but very satisfying when you finally win.

I also love the wide variety of weapons. Each one feels different and gives you a new way to play. Trying out different weapons adds a lot of replay value and keeps the game fresh.

One of the best parts is playing with friends. Fighting powerful monsters as a team is really fun, and it feels great when we finally take one down together. Plus, getting monster parts and crafting cool-looking armor sets from them is always rewarding.

Overall, Monster Hunter: World is a great RPG if you enjoy action, teamwork, and a bit of grinding. It’s challenging but really fun, especially with friends.

it`s still a great game if your pc can`t run MHWild, still has a lot of content and fun monster that isn`t in Wild.

It's okay. Scratches an itch that other RPG games sometimes fail to achieve. The weighting of the weapons and the monster's attacks feel great. The story-line is decent. World-building is excellent. Not overly complicated but still in-depth enough to make you feel like you are progressing naturally with the crafting and levelling systems.

It is a very good game. Some parts are tedious but those are few and far between.

It's MONSTER HUNTEEEER!!!.....WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOOOOOOOOU!!!! Pick up a weapon and Slash, bash, poke, stab, blow up and shoot your way to give Monsters the Beat down that not even PETA will oppose...Great diversity of Monsters to hunt LOTS and LOTS of replay value. Collect all kinds of gear Armor/Weapon Sets that will help you on your journey to becoming the best Monster Hunter there is. Love the fact that THIS MH is more realistic, unlike the prior MHs that are more cartooney and or anime-ish but it's Monster Hunter non the less. If you played any of the MHs in the past consoles then you pretty much know what to expect.

Each weapon has it's own learning curve over 10+ weapons to learn and collect monster parts to craft. you can also up grade your gear so you can hunt bigger and stronger monsters..You can hunt solo or with a Palico (kitty companion) or 4 other hunters. That ONLY PvP this game has is an Arm Wrestling table the game has in the Lobby which is fun in on it's self. Lots and Lots of costumes, emotes, emojies and DLCs that will expand the game and it's repeatability even more. Fun and Challenging all the way.

I don't know where to start. I always watched Monster hunter franchise but never really got my eyes, but then I saw it was on sales, and.. everyone know what comes after. Hour and hour of pure and quality entertainment. This is just so good. Even the grind is amazing, and I really like a grind. Can't stop playing and I can't wait for Iceborn.
10/10.

One of the best ARPGs Ive played so far and definitely one of my favourite games overall.
And It is still stays true even after release of Wilds and Rise.

The combat feels just right, with enough depth and commitment to every move you do. Id even say it might feel like a turned-based action game, where both you and the monster take your respective turns to punish eachother.
Thankfully, its not a game where you button-mash your way to victory, especially in later fights, you HAVE TO learn monster's moveset and especially your weapon's moveset, otherwise you either fail by carting or just time-out. And it feels great to learn that stuff and improve as a player. And there is alot to learn for each of 14 available weapons, that even after hundred of hours you still might learn new things even about a single weapon you main.
You dont get better in the game just by getting better gear or leveling up your stats, you get better in the game by learning its mechanics.

The monsters design is overall great, especially in Iceborne and its TUs. While there are some outliers, it doesnt take away from the greats like Velkhana, Namielle, Alatreon, Fatalis, Rajangs, Odogarons, Anjanaths, Zinogres and so on and so forth. Id say over half of the roster is great, the other half is either good or good enough. And then there are few like Lavasioths, Zorah and other Leshens, which Id say are just not fun to fight, thankfully you dont have to do most of them multiple times.
This is probably the only game where you can kill monster 100s of times and everytime it still feels fun to engage with it.
I would've never thought that even grind for Decos and Materials might be so fun for hundreds of hours either just by doing Guiding Lands and slaying everything in sight or killing Tempered Teostra 300 times.

Depsite it being a 7 y.o game, it still looks great even now, even in comparison to the 6th gen. And runs great even on mid hardware.

The only negative thing I can say about the game is probably story, but it doesnt take that much time to finish it, and you still get to experience alot of great monsters in there.

It might be hard to get into, especially if you havent played a game like that before, but its a rewarding experience for sure. You can always try and read in-game tutorials which give you some basic info or just look some more in-depth ones on platforms like YT.

Just play this instead of wilds, game runs a million times better even on the highest possible settings and has 10x the content. OH also you actually get cats cooking instead of that sham game wilds.

My first monter hunter game and it turn out to be very addictive

Monster Hunter: World lets you live out your fantasy of becoming a glamorous beast slayer, just be prepared to spend hours grinding for that one rare scale and carting (dying) more times than you'd like to admit. The monsters are epic, the weapons are ridiculously oversized, and the satisfaction of finally felling a giant lizard is only slightly overshadowed by the realization you now have to carve it up for its shinier bits. If you enjoy epic boss fights and the endless pursuit of slightly better loot, prepare to lose hundreds of hours to this addictive monster-mashing masterpiece.

Je m’amusait jusqu’à là, puis en pleine chasse après avoir brisé tous les os d’un monstre qui voulait pas crever, il "quitte la région" et passe à travers la terre et hop, 30 min de fight pour rien. En gros si tu joues solo t’es desavantager non seulement pour la difficulté, mais par le temps car le monstre peut partir à tout moments.
Ça dégoute.

Still the goat. Put on the ICE mod and it becomes a near-perfect game.

I have over 1k hours on the playstaion, and I was looking forward to Wilds to come out, and don't get me wrong, Wilds has done a great job with the combat but this game is far superior in charm, colors, and weapon design...especially once iceborne was released. I booted this game back up today and just was taken back by the maps, the colors, the music, etc. It's a little slow going at first but once it gets going, it's hard to stop playing. I booted up wilds after playing and opened up the maps, looked at the boring roster and shut it back down. I think when I want a MH fix, I'll play this. I also enjoy rise, but can't seem to find people who play it at a lower rank. If there was I'd play that as well. I have a few hundred hours on the Switch but the visuals aren't there compared to the PC version, so I don't load that one up as much.

how about when i play alone, you let me pause the freaking game, even if its mid fight. Cause maybe idk people actually have lives, and sometimes need to pause the game.

Also im happy they removed tracking from the new MH, after i tracked a monster once I dont want to do it 15 more times.

Hunts, monsters, eating, this game is another masterpiece from CAPCOM and It's one of my favorite games ever!

Monster Hunter: World and its expansion, Iceborne, are more than just action RPGs—they're a form of therapy. There's something incredibly satisfying about diving into a vast world where my only objective is to track, fight, and carve up massive beasts, all to forge stronger weapons and armor. The game’s core loop—hunt, gather, craft, repeat—is a cycle that absorbs me completely, helping me vent my frustrations through sheer determination and skill.

At its core, Monster Hunter: World and Iceborne give me control. No matter how chaotic real life gets, I know that in this game, with enough effort, I can overcome any challenge. And that’s exactly why I keep coming back.

Nergigante is the reason I work out.

⠀⠀⠀I have this fantasy where we start talking at the Vanity Fair Oscars party bar. We exchange a few pleasantries—he asks what I do. I say I loved him in Monster Hunter: World. He laughs and I get my drink.
⠀⠀⠀"Well, it was a pleasure to meet you," I say abruptly and walk away. I've got his attention now. How many guys would voluntarily leave a conversation with Nergigante? He touches his scales impatiently as he watches me leave.
⠀⠀⠀Later, as the night's dragged on and the coterie of gorgeous narcissists grows increasingly loose, he finds me on the balcony, my bow tie undone, smoking a cigarette.
⠀⠀⠀"Got a spare?" he asks cordially. I knew there was something to be had for playing hard to get, but I wasn't expecting it to be so effective this quickly.
⠀⠀⠀"What's in it for me?" I reply as I hand him one of my little white ladies. The lavender lips at the end of his triangular snout form a gentle smile.
⠀⠀⠀Sarcasm charges his response. "Conversation with me, duh." Sharing his sentiment, I laugh this time, despite feeling somewhat out of my comfort zone. I believe myself to be different from the aforementioned gorgeous narcissists that are so ever-present, but I can’t help but feel as if I’m somewhere I have no place being. There are semantics to a red carpet that fit a different bill than I have ever personally identified with.
⠀⠀⠀He tilts his head slightly to my right, allowing the pearlescent glow from the golden chandelier above us to give his eyes, in all their amber glory, a sheen that was otherwise not present. "What's so funny?" he protests.
⠀⠀⠀Had my laugh come off as snarky? "Nothing, nothing... It's just... don't you grow tired of the egos?"
⠀⠀⠀"You get used to it," he says, lighting his cigarette and handing me back the lighter. “There’s not always enough fame to go around.” He was a professional—gentle and slow in his movements, not a single ounce of energy wasted. The way he snapped the metal head of my Zippo shut produced a satisfactory click with a different air of authority than I was used to.
⠀⠀⠀"What would you do if you weren't a divinely powerful spike-launching dragon?" I ask. My throat feels the urge to chuckle slightly again, but I stop myself out of a desire for a deeper authenticity to our conversation.
⠀⠀⠀"Teaching, I think."
⠀⠀⠀His tail flicks the ground softly—just once—its spikes smacking loudly against the wooden footrest of the barstool. "And if I was your student, what would I be learning?"
⠀⠀⠀"Discipline," he blurts, breaking the eye contact we’d been holding since we started smoking. His tail flicks the oak floor once more as his lips purse together slightly. A small rock shoots from his nose, falling predictably to the floor as it meets an unremarkable oblivion. “Control,” he mutters softly, hastily under his breath, looking back up into my eyes before changing the subject. "Where are you from?"
⠀⠀⠀"New Zealand," I say. I slowly twirl my glass in a circle before setting it down on the counter. It’s hard not to stare at the liquor and the two large ice cubes spinning centrifugally in unison for a few moments. My hands grasp together and I turn in my seat to the right, our eye contact broken again thanks to my decision to stare at the wall of extravagant bottles in front of me instead.
⠀⠀⠀"Oh, wow. That's lovely."
⠀⠀⠀"It's okay," I admit. "Not everything is to my liking."
⠀⠀⠀"What could possibly be not to your liking in New Zealand?" he inquires. “The weather, the scenery, the healthcare! I’ve always imagined it to be quite lavish.” His tail flicks against the floor again, then the lower half of his stool. He grabs his bony cauda impatiently and sits it under his right thigh.
⠀⠀⠀"I don't like sand," I tell him. "It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere." It's easy to see some cogs start turning in his head once I say that. Perhaps he's not a fan of sand either? Maybe it bothers his scales?

Honestly too much cut scene time esp at beginning you can barely play for like 30 minutes. Then when you finally can way too many options and just a cluster$%@

As a seasoned monster hunter from the PS2 era, diving into Monster Hunter: World felt like reuniting with an old friend. The animations and combat mechanics are top-notch, and yes, even the in-game steak grilling song is 😙👌 *chef's kiss*. The game runs smoothly, a testament to its fine optimisation.​

Teaming up with friends, many of whom are newcomers, has been a blast. One buddy, Tobay, even schooled me on game mechanics—talk about a role reversal! However, I must admit, the early-game (and some late-game) weapon designs feel a bit uninspired compared to the unique aesthetics of older titles. It's a minor gripe in an otherwise stellar game.​

Now, if only Monster Hunter Wilds' PC launch was as good as World's. Get it together, Capcom!

How can you make a video game with high fidelity beautiful women and not have the option to marry them?

runs better than wilds. looks better than wilds. plays better than wilds. feels better than wilds.

After playing Wilds, I jumped to World and realised this game is another dimension far much better.

Solid game. With it getting older, it's easier to find this on sale. It is well worth your time and money.

my situation:
-research on how to get attatck +4
-tempered teostra seems good
-level up to get mr 100
-try to kill teostra *dies*
-get better gear
-tries teostra again
-kills teostra, but no attack +4
-repeats over 300 times
-finally got attack +4
-repeat process

so far, 10/10 for suffering

The main story for Low Rank and High Rank in the base game is fairly fun and worth the price on its own. However, Iceborne adds a lot of retroactive changes to the base game (e.g. skills like Weakness Exploit now have some of their damage gated behind Iceborne-only mechanics) that make the endgame experience in the base game less enjoyable than it was pre-Iceborne. Because of this, it's hard to recommend buying the base game by itself, and retroactively worsening the base game in order to encourage people to buy DLC is an anti-consumer practice.

I picked up this game a year ago, and have since put in 700+ hours alll the way through Iceborne. At the time I started, I had access to the full expansion as well as the content from every title update. As my first Monster Hunter game, I thought there was plenty of content to play with, and I very much enjoyed the "jungle safari hunt" vibe that I got. I appreciate what the game was willing to try out with its emphasis on its diversified vertically inclined environments. Understanding that clutch claw had mixed reception, I personally enjoyed the degree of control it afforded, with the additional part softening damage being looked at more as a bonus (glass half kind of full situation). Since clearing Fatty, I've since played up to endgame Sunbreak and circled back to Iceborne to get all achievements, seeing the differences in the games as a positive and diversified experience.

I can't run Wilds. I know other people who can't run Wilds. I wholeheartedly recommend that unless you're dead set on playing the "latest and greatest", and if you want something to do until you can afford a better computer, World is a completed product with plenty of content that will not disappoint. Unless you want Spider-man flavoured anime hack and slash. Then yeah Rise is cool too! Heck, play both!

writing this as a newcomer; ive heard of the hype, the cool and the stupendously fun things around it, which i finally understand the moment i feel how rewarding it is to hunt down every monsters with proper tactics and what great things and achievements you'll get the moment you complete quests or expeditions. plus, there are times where i feel like cheesing through the hunts, but this is quite the first time ive heard of "walls" or "teachers" in an action game; basically speed bumps to more or less knowledge-check the players (in the case of MonHun, it's in the form of Anjanath in LR and Nergigante in HR), which i really highly respect more than anything to be implemented in a game. to add more, there is no single progression stagnancy along the game aside from getting everything done in post-game content, and even then, it's fun to hop in to help out friends as a little incentive for more playtime. it's a game that never gets old because there's always new things to try out; mastering all weapons, collecting rare materials, trying to catch little critters, finding new camps, etc.

as my first MonHun experience, i feel really humbled yet satisfied comparing my own point of view to the hype and the experiences the veterans have shared across social media. looking forward to check out on future titles, and hopefully i get to try out Wilds once the expansion is out!

The world is creative, vast and colourful. The difficulty grows with the players growing skill level. The story is very engaging and easy to grasp. The characters though at times a little generic and flat still are likeable and have a destinct feel to them. The animation sequences especially the cooking cats are meowtastic. The costomization with the different monster materials are unique and creative. The weaons, even though I only played a few, yet, make the playstyle unique and require different skill sets of the player, which adds to the long-term fun of the game. All in all a very good game which is worth every dime you spent on it.

What a time to write this review right? With Wilds being out and all that...

After my 430 hrs in the game, especially given the sale that I bought the game on, there is no doubt about it that it is worth it. I've yet to fully complete everything too, despite being immensely thorough.
That being said however , if I were to rate the game on a scale of 1-10, it would be 7.5 , which is not bad and there is nothing wrong with that, but given the prestige of this franchise I frankly expected more.

I initially pivoted to this game after the controversial launch of Dragon's Dogma 2 (sound familiar?), which is the sequel of my favorite game of all time, thinking that it could fill the void (which it kinda did).
The most important part of a game for me is gameplay , especially combat , and World has very good combat.
Unfortunately not S tier for me, such as Dragon's Dogma, but close enough since the impact and weightiness is there along with the quality animations. Things that are lacking are more varied combos, something that Wilds seems to have improved upon.

Now, even being ever so slightly disappointed by the combat (again, a HUGE combat head here), I was very much in fact let down by the gameplay loop . See, this game prouds itself on a very satisfying gameplay loop in theory, which is "slay monsters and craft better gear". The REALITY OF THE SITUATION is that most of the gear is meaningless (!), and the gear progression is way too spotty until you enter post-main-game post-expansion-endgame (a mouthful right??), which is WAY TOO LATE in my opinion.

Most of the satisfaction that you feel will be purely because of you getting better at the game, which is fine, but there is basically extremely scarce rewards to reinforce this. And by the time that you do get new gear, they get immediately trivialized by the game's "Low Rank/High Rank/Master Rank" system where they basically recycle all of the enemies, pepper in some very few new ones and VASTLY increase their health pools.

That all contributes to basically feeling like you absolutely made no progress in being stronger whatsoever and it was a highly contested topic at that time as well. It just makes all the equipment management borderline pointless until you reach post-post-game.

I've heard they fixed that as well in Wilds, and added many amenities which is fine, but I still recommend World over Wilds strictly because World is a content complete game , a full and optimized experience (at least in comparison to Wilds, which is a shipwreck, since World had similar issues and can be rough on many systems at high settings to this day) and Wilds is simply not and probably will not be for a year or maybe even longer.

That is the true reason behind this rating. I still like the game because it is completely unique in it's format and it still somewhat clicked for me. It is special for that reason alone and worthy of experiencing, but keep in mind that your mileage may vary!

I enjoyed the thrill of the hunt, and hunting with friends is where the game truly shines. However, playing multiplayer can be sometimes inconvenient, as you have to wait for your friends to finish cut scenes before you can join them. It’s a great game if you enjoy grindy gameplay. Basically, you hunt monsters to craft better gear so you can take on even tougher monsters. When I finished all the achievements, I felt sad because I had become attached to the game. I knew deep down that I would treat it as a closed chapter as I moved on to a new one—playing Monster Hunter Wilds.

the game is good game i like it but it kindly easy until you got to master rank and finally it become challenging, but i still not understand why weapon in here become so ugly, i mean the combo is good but still so many cool weapon become ugly not like in MH2, MH2F, MH3, MH3U, MH3P, MH4, MHX and MHXX, just what the heck is happening?

Amazing game tbh, the monsters are epic, the world is gorgeous, and the hunting mechanics are a blast
But let’s talk about the multiplayer, because that’s where things are different
I bought this game to play with friends, but the multiplayer is a complete mess
Why even add it if it’s this broken??
Trying to connect with friends is like playing a bad game of hide and seek it takes forever, and when you finally get together, someone gets kicked out for no damn reason
And don’t even get me started on the matchmaking
It’s practically a joke. If you actually want it to work somewhat decently, you’ll need "mods"
Yep, they gave us a multiplayer feature and then left us to figure it out.
So yeah, thanks, Capcom <3
I didn’t expect to spend more time trying to get the game to work than actually hunting monsters
Capcom, next time just leave the multiplayer out if you're not going to bother making it work properly 🤗

I decided to give this game a try before buying Monster Hunter Wilds. I enjoy the crafting and resource gathering in the game. The combat is pretty fun too, with the right gear. Three things I don't like are 1) Wasted time walking around. Spend 30 mins finding a monster, engage it, and then it runs away over and over wasting more time finding it. Multiple missions I've ended right at the time limit and have often gone over just to have to do it all over again. 2) The 50 min time limit is just dumb combined with issue #1 and has made me want to rage quit many times. 3) When low on health and your Palico has threat, he runs over next to you when you need him to stay far away so you can drink a healing potion! Instead you get hit by the monster he dragged over to you.

Overall, though, I will still buy Monster hunter wilds because I see you get a mount, so hopefully that's going to address issues 1&2. Fingers crossed issue 3 will be gone too and I'll have a ton of fun!

Honestly one of my favourite games of all time. 10/10 would recommend. If you never played a Monster Hunter game before, it might feel a little clunky in the beginning. But once you get the hang of it, you'll have a hard time stopping. I spent far beyong 1k hours across several plattfoprms and don't regret a single second!

(+~500hrs on ps4)
Don't worry im not going to bruise the back of my throat with the hard drive its installed on like many others

Definitely the game before rise / 10
Pros :
Good amount of monsters are peak boss fight design
Endgame is pretty good after all the updates
Hammer is in the game

Cons :
Hand full of the worst fights ever made.
Base game AT monsters existing
Just hack in all the jewels, its not worth it.
One of the coolest fights in the game is only available for 2 weeks and then gone for 2 weeks for basically no reason post last patch that did things like making almost all event quests no longer rotate and always available. And is super insanely long outside of multiplayer, though it is possible solo with multiple hours of free time and no server disconnect. (updates have made its gear very skippable in progression but still)

Controversial? :
[spoiler]Alatreon[spoiler] did nothing wrong and is actually the best fight in the game
[spoiler]AT Velkhana[spoiler] is actually quite good, though is extremely brutal, i prefer it as the true final boss
Clutch claw was actually integrated into hammers moveset so i don't have a negative opinion on it but i can see how many weapons hate it
Monsters added in updates are anywhere on the scale from peak to overtuned
There is a very cool monster in base game that is heavily intended to have 3 friends to fight it properly, even solo with MR gear it still feels like ass because of its tornado mechanic and aggro if your weapon can't effectively deal with it, and then there is a harder version that is just bullshit and even more tornadoes. was probably a pretty interesting challenge with 3 friends to play with at the time of release

This was my intro into the Monster Hunter franchise and the first game that made me "get" it. It's a really fun experience, especially with friends. I highly recommend it (moreso over Wilds).

Fun gameplay loop. Lot's of unique enemies. Insect Glaive is great. Kinda annoying to play multiplayer together at first, but you get used to it.

Find dinosaurs and hit them a million times or shoot them a million times numbers go boom and dinosaurs go splat. Fun game
