My only other experience with MH before this was early Nintendo DS games which I remember enjoying.

However, MH: World felt like a game from 15 years ago, everything is clunky and unintuitive. I constantly see this game cited as a "must-play coop game", so that's why I got it.

However you've to play for an hour atleast to unlock coop and the coop system is incredibly restrictive, you can only summon other players for specific hunts, on specific maps and you're limited to a tiny play area. Every single time I thought I might have fun with this game it would throw up a new road block.

Ignoring the multiplayer element, I didn't find this fun at all. The enemy AI is robotic and unreactive. The game world feels messy and badly designed, traversal isn't intuitive or exciting. The nicest thing I can say is that there is good character customisation and weapon variety.

I just don't get the love for this game.
