Jakejames Lugo of The Koalition writes: Compared to most game franchises out there, the Monster Hunter games have displayed the most growth and maturity over the years. Since the series began on the PlayStation 2, much has changed with the gameplay and overall presentation, but the core themes of man versus beast have always remained the same. You hunt large monsters and use their parts to go after even bigger ones, then rinse and repeat. This continues in the latest entry in the series, Monster Hunter: World, but not only are the beasts you hunt are fiercer, the world you explore is bigger than ever.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "While it was a mixed pleasure overall - at times exhilarating, at others agonizing - I would have to say I enjoyed my time with Monster Hunter: World and found it to be surprisingly addicting. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that I was surprised by how little had changed from previous titles, given how this particular entry took the series to unheard levels of popularity, but while it retains both positives and negatives from them, at the very least it’s a stellar-looking game that brings more freedom to the hunt than any of its predecessors (Monster Hunter Rise could possibly be a different story, but that, my friends, is a game for another article)."
Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) today announced that Monster Hunter: World has sold over 25 million units* worldwide.

It's ridiculously good. And best thing I've played since BOTW
