This is exactly what World needed and more. It's understandable to me why World lacked quite a bit of content (in comparison to other Monster Hunter games, it's still a hefty game when looking at other games) with it being the first true next gen Monster Hunter. Replaying Generations Ultimate and World back to back, it can't be understated just how much World 99% of the time change things for the better and the sheer amount of things that they did change is absolutely staggering. Still at the end of the day 36 monsters, with only 30 at launch, and some of those monsters being "You REALLY need other people to fight them", it's understandable why people got tired of World and why Iceborne is such an improvement. Maybe not with other players being required for certain fights (which are at least optional), but they added so much more to the game and refined the most polished Monster Hunter game even moreso that you can think of this as a straight up sequel. If you were left wanting with World then Iceborne is an absolute must and is currently the best Monster Hunter game, though that may in time be overtaken with Rise Sunbreak (hopefully that statement doesn't age badly).
