Fixes a lot of issues with base world, and then replaces them with the clutch claw. I’m really torn on the very last bosses, fatalis and alatreon being so one-shotty and having mean dps checks I dont like and dont feel right for monster hunter, but when those fights go well, not much feels better.

A great modernisation of something niche but amazing, however sometimes the ambition can circle back to being frustrating. I will never forget the pain of spending half an hour circling the coral highlands looking for legiana or even longer looking for nergigante tracks. But when the game shines, its very good, even if I despise random decorations.

This game is constantly flipping between being a masterpiece and one of the best games I’ve ever played, and fucking infuriatingly stupid. Truly a worthy sequel.
