Monster Hunter World is finally released and console players can dive in. However this game is not for everyone and I really get why. I am not a „Monster Hunter Veteran“ like almost everybody on the internet, how it seems. So keep that in mind.
Character Creation
O boy, this one is really good. You can create your character how you want to. I made a hot blonde japanese chick, with cool scar on face. I think that you will be here for a long time, before you will be satisfied with your character. Other thing you have to make is your companion called „Palico“. It is mostly cat, I guess, but they are pretty cool and they are here for a help in a fight.
Gameplay
So this is a really hard one. Gameplay of this game is quite unique. You have fourteen weapon types and every single one of them brings new playstyle, but entirely new playstyle. So if you pick a wrong weapon, do not be afraid to switch it, because it could ruin your experience. It is awesome, how diverse these weapons are and how every one of them is controlled differently. Next thing is movement, because the game is set in the nature, you will run across trees, stones and other obstacles. I was really supriced how smooth the character moves. It is better, than some of assasinss’s creed games! And trust me, you will be on your feet the whole time, because you have to track and kill your prey. That is the main goal of the game btw, killing monsters so you can craft better gear to take on better monsters.
Graphics + Story
I love games, that makes me feel like I am in the other world and this game has exactly this feeling. Everything is pleasant to look at and japanese know how to make monsters original! The story is there, I haven’t progress in the game much, but I think that the story is playing second fiddle.
So these are my first impressions. I'm going to write more, but I have so little time right now, that makes me sad.
Thanks for reading!
