This review comes from someone who has never played a monster hunter game before this so take it with a grain of salt as you should all reviews, it doesnt really seem to be the best game for solo play but if you get three buddies to play with its a blast. For the most part everything before the DLC is quite easy, getting more challenging around half way through Iceborne, with the greatest challenges being at the very end of it. If you havent played yet I recommend you go in blind with your whole party as learning the monsters as you meet them is great. The strategies you can make for the harder fights to get the most out of your damage is really fun.


Some minor gripes I have with the game are: Cutscenes being unskippable and forcing you to watch them before playing multiplayer (fixed with a mod), Clutch claw is jank and sometimes randomly attaches to places on the opposite side of the monster, DEFENDER GEAR IS OP AND YOU SHOULDNT USE IT ON FIRST PLAYTHROUGH BUT ITS RECOMMENDED , halloween music in the Iceborne gathering hub sucks and needs to be removed, and the randomness of some drops can really screw you over at times.
