MHW:
An outstanding evolution of the series, with tons and tons of fun content, a breezy online component, plenty of difficulty and explorative gameplay. Like every monster hunter, every weapon feels like it's own game to learn, but much more streamlined in this one. The locales are great, the story is fine. One of few games I've put in over 300 hrs into
Rule 1
Iceborne:
I may rejoin this but feel my time off between playing it was too long. My skills and all my equipment had dropped off in efficacy so as an expansion, I feel it works best transitioning straight from the base game to it. I put a total of about 20 hours into it and didn't bite off a big enough chunk of it to feel totally satisfied. But it definitely expands the base game for it to be a very easily justified purchase, and still enjoyed a good portion of the new stuff they added during my time with it.
