Monster Hunter World may have been out for a while on PS4 and Xbox One, but it’s such a beast of a game that players are only just scratching the surface.
Capcom delivered its first post-release monster update earlier this week, adding the mighty Deviljho alongside a brand new mission and items.
There’s also the imminent Spring Blossom Festival, which kicks off on April 6.
The event transforms the Gathering Hall, adds new quests, introduces the special platter and rewards players with lots of limited event bonuses.
With more events still to come, more monsters to battle and even more items to unlock, Monster Hunter World is the game that keeps on giving.
Is this an early game of the year contender? What didn’t we like about it? Find out more by checking out our Monster Hunter World review gallery below…
Monster Hunter World is a stunning game with an unbelieveable level of detail in each and every area. The Ancient Forest is as beautiful as it is deadly, while the majestic Coral Highlands are so distractingly dazzling that you won’t see the bat-like Paolumu until it’s too late.
The huge technological boost has allowed Capcom to create a magnificent game world that’s full of surprises and feels truly alive.
You’ll need to use every inch of your surroundings to succeed in the more challenging hunts, as you track beasts across the entire map, lure monsters into traps and even set them against each other.
By defeating monsters and completing quests, you can craft better armour and stronger weapons – which you’ll need for the deadlier monsters later in the game.
The weapons are unique and have a transformative effect on the game, ensuring things stay fresh and that you never get bored.
There aren’t too many negative things you can say about Monster Hunter World, and nothing that should put you off buying it immediately.
The story is weak and the cutscenes and voice acting are terrible, but then nobody really plays Monster Hunter for the narrative.
Monster Hunter World may have launched weeks ago, but it still has the capacity to surprise us.
With more updates, events and monsters still to come, Monster Hunter World will sink its claws in and never let go.
