Monster Hunter: World

Monster Hunter World is an incredible achievement. It manages the nearly impossible feat of taking a franchise known (and in many corners beloved) for it’s incredible complexity and depth and making it significantly more approachable, without in any way stripping it down or diminishing it. It tells the most compelling, kinetic story in any Monster Hunter yet (not a tremendous feat, admittedly, but this is a worthy and interesting story) and offers some of the most interesting and addictive action combat in any franchise, bar none.

Monster Hunter: World’s PC version provides the same great hunting and gathering loops console players dove into earlier this year, and after having not played the series until now I’m absolutely hooked, both on the series and how the PC version enhances the experience. Adapting World's console control scheme to keyboard-and-mouse comes with some minor nitpicks, but I've found the tradeoffs are worth it.

Ever since the title was first announced, it was clear that Capcom was gunning for something grander than Monster Hunter Generations. It has succeeded, and this is likely the biggest and best that the franchise has ever been. It's not just the comparative depth of the narrative; it also boasts almost seamless integration between combat systems that were previously incomprehensible for amateurs.

Arriving eight months late on PC, everything that can be said about Monster Hunter World already has done. Rest assured though, the wait was indeed worth it. Anyone looking for a deep action game they can potentially invest hundreds of hours into need look no further. This is Monster Hunter, back and better than it's ever been before.

If this were a review of just Monster Hunter World, the negatives would have little effect on the overall package. Given all the work and graphical brilliance that the PC version displays, it's a shame to have certain performance issues. Nevertheless, whether your system can handle it or Capcom offers more optimization, Monster Hunter World on PC comes recommended.

Fitting for the series’ first ever western PC version, this isn’t a case of bringing flashy new exclusive content but a supremely stable, confidently-put-together package of what got all the console players so excited about in January. If it’s the first time you’ve gotten a chance to see what Monster Hunter is all about, this is as good a starting point as you’re likely to get.

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.

I’ve enjoyed previous entries in the Monster Hunter series but none of them have felt as compelling as World. This entry is more accessible than any of the previous games yet still manages to have deep crafting and gearing systems for the later game. The gameplay loop is tight and rewarding. You are left feeling you have accomplished something each time you take down a monster. Some of the monsters are truly giant and monstrous and offer a variety of different challenges. Capcom has managed to make one of the first must-play titles of 2018.

Monster Hunter World is a solid title that will soak up a lot of time if you enjoy beautiful graphics, hunting beautiful, dangerous and unique creatures, and crafting buttloads of weapons and gear.  The learning curve is considerably more shallow than previous Monster Hunter titles but simultaneously steeper for beginners than it usually is for games in general. 

Like your character, Monster Hunter: World dresses its breathless combat in every assortment of the most arbitrarily complicated garb, all in the name of variety. It is an abyss of 'replayabilty’, an exercise in patience and observation for the ultimate payoff: an infinite black sea of invigorating dragon murder. And a new hat.

So, do we judge the game by its sale’s figures? Is Monster Hunter: World the best game Capcom has ever made? I don’t think so. What it is though, is a damn good time. In the event that you find yourself in possession of both a powerful desktop and $60 that just can’t wait to spend, give it a shot. For all its flaws, Monster Hunter: World is proof that a game can be more than the sum of its parts.

Capcom knocked it out of the park with Monster Hunter World. They finally brought it back to the consoles, and now all the PC players can finally enjoy it. It is one heck of a ride, and with the systems in place it can be one of the most rewarding experiences players can have. On top of all that, Capcom has already planned to bring a lot of the missions and special events to the PC version over time, and they’re all free.

Monster Hunter World is bursting with content and is a game that you can easily get over 100 hours in. The downside is that a lot of those 100 or more hours will be by your lonesome. While as a single-player game this title excels, the multiplayer matchmaking can be incredibly clunky and inexplicably doesn't allow you to stick by another player's side persistently.

The seamless open world works great, making hunts and animal behaviour much more organic. Huge range of weapons and equipment, well-integrated online options, and tons of content. Still some accessibility issues, especially in terms of explaining more obscure concepts. Backdrops can feel a little sterile; distracting object clipping and fussy controls.

Capcom perfected the combat formula over countless releases, but it wasn’t until Monster Hunter: World that they stripped away what ultimately was never much fun to begin with. You spend less time spent preparing, and more time actually fighting. And sales figures suggest, as we all expected, that Capcom really had something special sitting under all that bloat.

Monster Hunter: World still has all the complexity expected from this series, but it dishes it out in much more palatable chunks than usual. It's still got a frightening amount of depth, but it feels manageable in a way that few in the series have pulled off before. Players may still feel a little lost from time to time, but a little guidance from series vets or other friends can drastically reduce the growing pains new players will likely experience.

Así pues, luces y sombras en el esperado estreno de Monster Hunter en PC. Un despliegue técnico a la altura de nuestras máquinas, pero críticos inconvenientes en la experiencia online que no pueden pasarse por alto en un juego de 60€ en pleno 2018, y que nos obligan a tener que ajustar la nota hasta que se corrijan.

Como hemos dicho antes, no es posible contentar a todo el mundo, pero los usuarios de PC por fin tienen la oportunidad de disfrutar de un producto la mar de bien traído, que llega sin los problemas técnicos de otras adaptaciones pero que igualmente mantiene ciertas "rarezas" que ojalá Capcom se plantee solucionar con el paso de las semanas.

La versión de PC de Monster Hunter: World sigue la estela de los juegos de Capcom en la plataforma, siendo correctos, pero sin llegar a dar ese empuje extra de calidad y cuidado. Hay luces y sombras en opciones de resolución, gráficas y de control de teclado, pero en líneas generales cumple con su propósito de llevar el juego a compatibles con altas tasas de frames por segundo.

Zwar bleibe ich von einem Technik-Fiasko verschont, in Sachen Mod-Unterstützung, Hardware- und Steuerungs-Optimierung wäre aber deutlich mehr drin gewesen. Es gibt also keine Gründe, jetzt von der Konsolen- auf die PC-Version umzusteigen. Wer aber mangels Konsole Monster Hunter World bislang verpasst hat, sollte es spätestens jetzt nachholen.

Nach der Beta zu Monster Hunter World war ich eher abgeschreckt. Mit der Vollversion des Spiels hat mich Capcom aber überzeugt. Grund dafür ist die langsame Einführung aller Features, sodass ich mich in Ruhe mit dem Spielprinzip der Monster Hunter-Reihe vertraut machen kann. Dass die Handlung dabei nicht gerade spannend ist, kann ich World verzeihen. Im Mittelpunkt steht sowieso der Online-Multiplayer mit Freunden und anderen Spielern.

Monster Hunter: World ist auch auf dem PC ein beeindruckender Abenteuerspielplatz für Jäger und Sammler. Dank noch prächtigerer Grafik, vieler kleiner Verbesserungen und deutlich kürzerer Ladezeiten gehe ich auf dem Rechner sogar noch einen Tick lieber auf die Pirsch.

Cette vision sur le long terme permet de minimiser l’impact d’un bestiaire et d’environnements quelque peu limités au lancement du jeu. Monster Hunter World représente clairement l’avenir de la franchise, un avenir qui s'appréhende sous les meilleurs augures. Vous voilà prévenus, alors foncez et que la chasse commence !

Clairement le portage PC de Monster World Hunter World n'est pas exempt de défauts... Textures douteuses, problèmes de clavier, etc. Mais ça reste tout de même une version intéressante d'autant qu'elle permet tout de même d'avoir une meilleure expérience technique que sur console (grâce notamment à son framerate à 60 FPS et ses nombreuses options graphiques).

Una versione quindi molto più bella e godibile rispetto a quella di otto mesi fa, minata però da problematiche tecniche, soprattutto sul fronte dell’online, che non possono essere trascurate. Per questi motivi ci sentiamo di confermare il voto dato alla versione console, ma se nelle prossime settimane le problematiche dell’online saranno risolte, un mezzo voto in più sarà assolutamente meritato, altrimenti considerate di fare l’opposto.

La ciliegina sulla torta di questo obiettivo raggiunto è la consapevolezza che ora per Capcom arriva il tempo della full immersione nell'inserimento di nuovi contenuti, che potranno essere fruiti da tutti i giocatori, indipendentemente dalla piattaforma. Forse la vera vita di Monster Hunter World inizia proprio adesso e siamo molto curiosi di vedere cosa avrà da riservarci.

Есть и взрывные эпизоды — попытка поймать гигантского монстра размером с каньон, например, со стрельбой из пушек и забегам по спине колосса. Но это исключение из правил. Пока. Что там будет в сюжете дальше я не знаю (прохожу все-все сайды, поэтому по истории двигаюсь не очень быстро), а потому и окончательных выводов не делаю. А впереди еще и расхваленный западными рецензентами хардкорный эндгейм — есть что поизучать, прежде чем поставить игре финальную оценку!

Uzun lafın kısası Monster Hunter: World, sizi aylarca başında tutacak ve sıkmayacak içeriği, detaylı ve eğlenceli oynanış yapısı, co-op imkanı, evreni ve dünyası ile 2018 yılının en başarılı oyunlarından biri olacak gibi gözüküyor. Ufak tefek performans sorunları da güncellemeler ile giderilirse, bizlerin yüzlerce saatini alabilecek bir oyun var karşımızda. Eğer siz de şöyle arkadaşlarımla oynayabileceğim, hem sıkmayacak hem de kalteli bir RPG oyunum olsun diyorsanız, Monster Hunter World sizin için biçilmiş kaftan.

Monster Hunter World bevat nu al tientallen - zoniet honderden - uren aan complexe maar bevredigende actie, ongeacht je speelstijl en ervaring. Het sturende verhaal leert nieuwe spelers de diepgaande gameplay op een aangenaam tempo kennen, en biedt veteranen de context die in eerdere delen ontbrak. De bergen aan ‘quality of life-verbeteringen’ leggen de focus nog meer op het jagen zelf, en maken het nog makkelijker om opgeslokt te worden in de nieuwe wereld.

Gra będzie wspierana przez Capcom jeszcze przez długi czas, a użytkownicy otrzymają kolejne DLC w postaci potworów do ubicia i rozmaitych wydarzeń. Zapewne również niektóre ze wspomnianych w tej recenzji błędów zostaną naprawione, czego sobie i Wam bardzo życzę. Nie jestem jednak w stanie powtórzyć wysokiej oceny z wersji na PS4. Sam rdzeń zabawy pozostał nienaruszony, ale przypadłości portów są jak najbardziej obecne, w tym słaba optymalizacja, zabugowany/niedopracowany tryb wieloosobowy.
