Description
Welcome to a new world! Take on the role of a hunter and slay ferocious monsters in a living, breathing ecosystem where you can use the landscape and its diverse inhabitants to get the upper hand. Hunt alone or in co-op with up to three other players, and use materials collected from fallen foes to craft new gear and take on even bigger, badder beasts!
Battle gigantic monsters in epic locales.
As a hunter, you'll take on quests to hunt monsters in a variety of habitats.
Take down these monsters and receive materials that you can use to create stronger weapons and armor in order to hunt even more dangerous monsters.
In Monster Hunter: World, the latest installment in the series, you can enjoy the ultimate hunting experience, using everything at your disposal to hunt monsters in a new world teeming with surprises and excitement.
Setting
Once every decade, elder dragons trek across the sea to travel to the land known as the New World in a migration referred to as the Elder Crossing.
To get to the bottom of this mysterious phenomenon, the Guild has formed the Research Commission, dispatching them in large fleets to the New World.
As the Commission sends its Fifth Fleet in pursuit of the colossal elder dragon, Zorah Magdaros, one hunter is about to embark on a journey grander than anything they could have ever imagined.
There are various locations teeming with wildlife. Expeditions into these locales are bound to turn up interesting discoveries.
Your equipment will give you the power to need to carve out a place for yourself in the New World.
The Hunter's Arsenal
There are fourteen different weapons at the hunter's disposal, each with its own unique characteristics and attacks. Many hunters acquire proficiency in multiple types, while others prefer to attain mastery of one.
Scoutflies
Monster tracks, such as footprints and gashes, dot each locale. Your Scoutflies will remember the scent of a monster and guide you to other nearby tracks. And as you gather more tracks, the Scoutflies will give you even more information.
Slinger
The Slinger is an indispensable tool for a hunter, allowing you to arm yourself with stones and nuts that can be gathered from each locale.
From diversion tactics to creating shortcuts, the Slinger has a variety of uses, and allows you to hunt in new and interesting ways.
Specialized Tools
Specialized tools activate powerful effects for a limited amount of time, and up to two can be equipped at a time. Simple to use, they can be selected and activated just like any other item you take out on a hunt.
Palicoes
Palicoes are hunters' reliable comrades out in the field, specialized in a variety of offensive, defensive, and restorative support abilities.
The hunter's Palico joins the Fifth Fleet with pride, as much a bona fide member of the Commission as any other hunter.

Very good game, playable and very enjoiable in co-op. The story isn't quite new to games of this type but it surely works well with the game mechanics which bring something new compared to similar games.
- co-op
- durable
- good gameplay
- graphics

Get through the intro, that's the hardest part of the game. And don't worry, you can get through the main storyline and you'll almost never have to talk to the handler again, and during the storyline you can space things out or just avoid talking to her in general to reduce the exposure to her chatterbox.
(Someone beneath me said the palicos (cats) are useless, for anyone interested, palicos at first will only occasionally use a thing called a vigorwasp, which heals you, but you can unlock more gadgets, such as a horn that gives buffs, an item stealing boomerang, and more. Another person had qualms with the hitboxes, and to address those, they are actually pretty accurate, and dodging will give some invincibility frames, so it's all about practice and timing. And for air attacks, they always target where you were at the start of the attack, with a little variation, so you just need to move out of the way, then dodge. Most people's grievances with Monster Hunter games seems to be based on the fact that they can't learn timing, but don't let that stop you, because you can play with friends or just strangers on line, with a really helpful community.)
One of the best games I've ever played. For the people who complain about the Handler, it does get better, along with hunts in general as they become more difficult and weapons more varied. Finding friends to play with also is a blast, and I'd recommend MHW as a must buy for any previous Monster Hunter game fans (though it is different) and just a fun game for most people I've talked to. There's 14 weapon categories, all which have their own upgrade tree with over 50 unique upgrades for each weapon. These don't just increase attack, but element types, things like decoration slots (which give boosts to certain things like defense overall, attack when a monster is aggravated, and many more), their own skills that have the same effects as decorations, and weapons like the bowguns, gunlance or greatbow have their own ammo types and effects unique to each tree and version of the weapon.
Each monster has 3 (or 4) types of armor unique to it, with its own skills and decoration slots available, and elemental resistances to go with them.
It can sound like a lot to newcomers, but the game guides you to a point where you can understand the fundamentals, but you will have to get a bit more in depth to really bring out the strengths and weaknesses of builds.
Sorry for the block of text, but if you were to buy one game, this would be an excellent pick.

Monster Hunter: World is an amazing game that really pulls you in with its gorgeous environments and the thrill of taking on unique, challenging monsters. Exploring the ecosystems feels rewarding, and teaming up with friends in the smooth multiplayer mode adds a ton of fun. It’s not without its quirks, though—the learning curve can be tough at first, and the grind for materials might test your patience. Plus, the interface can feel pretty overwhelming when you’re just starting out. Still, once you get the hang of it, the experience is absolutely worth it!
- Vast and beautifully designed ecosystems
- Diverse roster of monsters that keep hunts unique and challenging
- Seamless multiplayer mode for cooperative gameplay
- Steep learning curve that may intimidate newcomers
- Reliance on grinding for materials can feel repetitive
- Overwhelming UI for first-time players
