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)."
MHHQ: Capcom insists on making Rathalos, the King of the Skies, a Monster Hunter mascot, but at this point, I believe he should step down.
He's been in most, if not all the games and is iconic to the series. I guess he can be considered the unofficial mascot but every game has its own unique monster as the poster boy.
MHHQ: A one of a kind action game that blends deliberate combat and comfy soundtrack, Monster Hunter is a series I never knew I wanted.
Because you had fun. I started Monster Hunter with my son on PSP 17 years ago. We put a ton of hours into the games since then. Never did I look back at any game I’ve sunk a lot of hours into and think, I might regret having all that fun.
TNS: Monster Hunter's previous games put the bar high, but Monster Hunter Wilds will bring big differences for every mechanic.
