Iceborne simply pisses all over world. Ruins the base game to make way for the hp inflated and timesink of forced clutch claw, wallbang and the infuriating clagger effect.. It's new mechanics also overlap with existing mechanics and button prompts, killing you when unsure which mechanic you wanted. It's inflated sink is eventually rewarded with the mmo styled bosses and the hugely unfair and terribly designed enemies like rajang and **** well as the usual insane amount of grinding rng to drain every ounce of life out of you. Base World was great as it was. If only we could play it without the terrible addition of iceborne.. But we can't. Iceborne is forced upon us whether we like it or not. Travesty.

CAPCOM made the Master Rank expansion for World and made the game even better. Iceborne is, for me, the best expansion I've played in a video game, it takes everything World did, and expands on it even more. It adds an incredible amount of replayability onto an already replayble game. With the game also being completed finished, the Title Updates brought some of the best boss fights in gaming, which you should go experience for yourself. Get this game and expansion.

An outstandingly successful modernization of the monster hunter series that maintains the core appeal but oversteps in its attempt to reach a broader audience.

Easily one of the best expansions of any game I have ever played, adding an amount of content surpassing that of the base game and filling all the gaps that Monster Hunter World left in its gameplay and overall experience. The game takes the framework of Monster Hunter World and refines it perfectly, providing a good challenge, good endgame, better farming, and overall massively improving the already great Monster Hunter World.

Almost perfect extension to the incredible base game, introducing higher difficulty. Only flaw is the endgame grinding for upgrades and ranks otherwise would be a 10. Several free additions of monsters like Fatalis and Alatreon makes it an amazing extension

The upgrade from the based game is unreal. The end game system is grindy but not boring.

Après avoir passé plus de 1200h dessus et le platine à la clé (13/03/23) j'ai encore envie d'y jouer même quasiment 7 ans après, le fait que jeu soit de retour sur PlayStation (aussi Xbox) après une attente stratosphérique et le ras le bol de ne pas voir la licence evoluer sur console Nintendo (surtout d'un point de vue graphique). MHWorld a clairement modernisé la licence grâce à la puissance de l'époque d'une PS4/ONE, c'est clairement le renouveau de la licence Le jeu a tellement de points positifs que je pourrais même pas tous les noter donc je vais parler que des points négatifs de WORLD/ICEBORN -sur World le bestiaire était relativement faible (environ 30-35) l'idéal aurait été 40-45 - sur World le bestiaire est pas trop "varié" et des sous espèces qui bon n'était pas nécessaire (Diablos noire, Rathian sakura etc..) d'où le fait que ça réduise encore lebestiaire unique - le skin des armes, certaines armes n'ont pas leurs vrais visuel, ça en était décevant. Voilà concrètement ce que je reproche au jeu mais au de-là de ça, le jeu est exceptionnel

Let me start off by saying that Monster Hunter World: Iceborne has been one of the biggest influences on my taste in games ever since I had discovered it in late 2019. It takes brave leaps in trying to steer the series in a new direction to widen its reach on audiences and has far exceeded everyone's expectations. Every weapon polished and perfected with the patented Monster sheen allows it to coalesce beautifully with the masterfully crafted environments teeming with various and vibrant endemic species, and that is not even mentioning the wonderful roster of monsters it has in it's lineup. One can argue the most important part of a "Monster Hunter" game are the monsters themselves and Monster Hunter World brings new depth to new and old monsters from the series. The monsters truly feel alive , as if you're observing and hunting actual creatures to do the wonderfully designed monster ai meshing perfectly with the aforementioned environment , coexisting to create an idealistic paradise for any aspiring or veteran hunter. Progression in the game is very well paced offering the player something new at every turn so you're never left feeling bored or unrewarded for your efforts when hunting a Monster once or even multiple times. Aside from the main hunts there are fun side activities one can partake in if you ever feel the need to take a break from the action packed hunts. Some of my favourite are being able to customise your room and truly make it your own by filling it with various ornaments and adorable pets which brings me into another side activity. While out on the field you'll notice you can capture certain animals to become pets in your room which is a perfect way to introduce the player to truly explore every nook and cranny of the map to see what hidden resources or secrets await your discovery. A lot of what you discover will ultimately serve one purpose, to help you become a stronger hunter. The game is cleverly designed in such a way that as your in game great improves over the course of your journey so do your skills at a relatively similar rate meaning you'll never feel overwhelmed or underpowered at any point during the game's course. The multiplayer can be integral to your experience if you are the type of player who seeks that sort of thing and I am happy to confirm that multiplayer integration has been delightful, whether it be with random online players or your own close friends you'll never seen to find yourself lonely. It is for all the points I've stated above that I will highly recommend looking further into the world of Monster Hunter and I hope that anyone who has read this will have seriously considered picking up this absolute gem **** as their next big adventure, and I hope to see you in the new world because I can assure you that you can never go wrong if you decide to play the game. Happy hunting!

Iceborne is without a doubt an absolutely outstanding video game. With gaming as a subscription, freemium gaming, and battlepasses saturating the online video game market it’s often hard to come by a game with a company that actually cares about players. Frankly, I thought such a thing might be impossible until I started playing Iceborne. Capcom, throughout Iceborne’s active life, constantly released content for this amazing game. Any avid player knows this, but even further we saw every limited time quest become available both during the pandemic to help support staying inside as well as after the game’s development stopped. From there things only get better. Even though Iceborne’s development has been stopped for years just a few days ago we saw an update released for the game. Why? To make it accessible to steam deck players. Honestly, if that doesn’t scream the greatest game ever made I’d have to assume you’re just deaf.Iceborne doesn’t just offer Capcom’s undying support, it also has virtually endless hours of content. With more than 70 large monsters and 14 different weapons you have what is nearly 1,000 different fights to learn, study, and master. You can easily put hours into any one of these fights, and that completely ignores amazingly designed events fights. More often than not “difficult” games end up feeling like developers seeing just how much **** they can throw at a wall until players simply cannot beat whatever has been thrown at them. Iceborne does nothing of the sort. Both Fatalis and Arch-tempered Velkhana are amazing examples of this. In both of those fights, if you are skilled enough to see it, you will always find your mistake. In my now 1000 hours on Monster Hunter World (as of starting this review I was completing my 999th hour) I have never once found myself frustrated with the game, only myself. Iceborne creates an environment for improvement like nothing else. At least nothing else with dope ass dinosaurs.Though it pains me to do so, my integrity as a writer requires me to present at least one counterpoint for why someone might genuinely dislike Iceborne: The Skill Curve. If you aren’t ready, and you are built for it, Iceborn can beat you down like someone beating a dead horse about how great the game is. Many times have I tried to get my friends who are less attached to the game to play it with me and many times have I failed. Between the skill required to use any one of the weapons, manage when and how you dodge attacks, or simply even just where to get useful items Iceborn does not provide ample support. But I do not believe that makes it a bad game.Just because the player is bad, the game does not instantly become bad for catering to them. Some of the greatest pieces of literature cannot be appreciated by someone with a fifth grade reading capacity and that doesn’t instantly characterize them as low quality. To somehow determine Iceborn as bad based on a lack of skill alone is simply rude. Iceborne is a great game, and if you aren’t great enough to see that, then don’t play Iceborne.

PERFECT expantion, it fixed every gripe i had with MHW, and bumped it up from a 7 to a 10 for me. 1000 hours of gameplay is enough for my cave-man monster hunting brain to say: "game good, me like".

Just awful. Monsters have way too much HP and it’s after the main story. It takes 40 minutes to kill one. You could get better armor and weapons to kill them faster, but guess what - they are locked behind even more pointless grinding. And it’s not resource grinding, it’s master rank grinding. You need to reach a specific MR to unlock specific monsters for further upgrade. And it’s all wrapped it the worst character control that I’ve seen in AAA game ever.

I came to this game from Monster Hunter: Rise, and to be frank I really wish I hadn't. The pacing of this game just wasn't what I was looking for, I fully understand the appeal of the slow combat and taking time to prepare for each hunt, but the game itself just felt slow and tedious in all the ways I appreciated the least. I loved MHR for the thrilling, fast paced combat, and how smoothly each hunt ends up playing out, but MHW:I felt as though each hunt went for a little too long, and there were a lot more quests that seemed to be intended as time sinks rather than meaningful gameplay.

It improves on the base game in almost every way, from new weapon combos, to new builds, events, quests and so on. It only misses the 10/10 mark like the original game for its introduction of the Clutch Claw, which has two undesired effects: - If you're playing solo (it wasn't my case), you will have to dedicate a lot of time to using it efficiently every single fight, and it can make the gameplay repetitive, boring and anticlimatic - If you don't use it, you will directly be missing out on mechanics, damage and opportunities, making it feel like an obligatory tool to use. Besides that, it is still definitely worth a buy, and at the very worst, you can ignore the clutch claw like I did until halfway through Iceborne.

My original review was critical of the DLC on release because of the copy n' paste with most the monsters, but with all the free updates and additional monsters; This has been some of the best Monster Hunter content we've ever gotten. Some of the toughest and fun fights I've ever experienced was in this DLC and it was an amazing experience.

Uma expansão que deu uma sobrevida ao World, campanha mais bem elaborada, novos monstros, nova dificuldade, novas mecânicas, praticamente uma sequência de World na forma de expansão, compra obrigatória pra quem curtiu Monster Hunter World. Essa expansão só não é nota 10 devido a algumas decisões como se o game tivesse mantido o padrão e entregasse todos os Dragões anciões na forma Arch, como uma Shara Ishvalda, Nergigante Ferrenho, Vaal Hazak Velado e todos os outros elders como foi no endgame do World, seria um bom desafio pra por em ação os equipamentos do Fatalis. Outra coisa que eles fizeram foi deixar todos os eventos disponíveis de uma só vez, porém o Cerco da Safijiva precisa de outros players fazendo ao mesmo tempo, poderiam ter seguido o caminho da Kulve da Rank Mestre e colocar uma Safijiva Arch Tempered que poderia ser derrotada solo e em uma única ida, para o jogador não ficar dependente de outros players. E por fim a história pós game, que construiu uma narrativa em torno da Safi'jiva e criou um mistério entre ela e o Alatreon, para no ultimo update invés de trazer respostas para esse mistério o jogo simplesmente encaixou de forma totalmente sem sentido o Fatalis na história por puro fanservice e a trama construída que citei ficou em aberto.

It improves upon the base game in every way. No longer is endgame gear like health regen prone to sheer randomness, now you can focus on exactly what you want. While it does take a very long time to get, at least it's not repeating the same fight(s) hundreds of times praying for a hero streamstone for your weapon to drop. Also Fatalis. Fighting Fatalis, triggering the Dragonator at 3/4 of it's HP, then hearing the Monster Hunter World theme play throughout the rest of the fight, as you and 3 other players try to take it down, is one of the most epic gaming experiences known to man.

Iceborne manages to take the QoL changes that World made to the series, and render them completely moot. Combine that with a lack of a compelling story, poorly programmed monsters, mechanics that do not work and terrible balancing issues, and you're left with an expansion that's best left unplayed.

Belive me its not just and expansion pack pack! Iceborne includes so much contents even more than many full games with 60 dollars tag! This is a respectful way to treat your costumers and also your beloved game. A fantastic expansion (you consider it as a full game!) for a fantastic game.

Отличная игра, отличное дополнение, хорошее времяпрепровождение. Зашел, убил/не убил монстра и пошел по своим делам, рано или поздно добираешься до конца, а затем бегаешь помогаешь другу или выбираете с друзьями куда бежать дальше ) Я играю один, но нашел онлайне друзей, с которыми общаемся с горе по-палам, но говорит о том что сообщество игроков тут большое и дружное, судя по всему общее дело и отсутствие ПВП, создало культуру дружного коллектива )

This could easily be the sequel instead of just an expansion, definitely makes the experience of Monster Hunter World as a hole even better and especially for me as a trophy hunter the fact that has its own Platinum trophy makes it even more awesome, still getting free title updates the game likely will last much more.

Esta expansión es un DLC a la antigua, es costoso pero lo vale ya que bien podría ser un MHW 2. Duplica fácilmente las horas de juego, además que agrega a muchos monstruos de pasadas franquicias que a jugadores experimentados les dará nostalgia y a los nuevos les dará intriga y algunos hasta les hará tirar el control al suelo. Esto bien podría verse como el rango G del juego en el cual mejoras aún más tus armas y armadura; siendo un gran reto si se hace en solitario.

I loved MHW before and now I love Iceborne. I can't count all the amazing feelings and moments I had with this game and its expension. You really can see all the love and detail that the developer have spend at this game. I can understand why people are angry about that game I can see the problems but MHW I is more than that. It is a masterpiece and it's worth the price

This expansion to Monster Hunter: World is probably one of the best expansion in gaming history. This expansion adds so much to the base game! This expansion can be considered as a sequel/entirely new game rather than an expansion. Everything this expansion adds to the game is a positive thing in my opinion, I see no negative side to this expansion. It adds in new combo to each weapon set, a new story, a new variety of armour set (most of the armour set looks AMAZING!), and of course MORE MONSTERS! I hope they continue to support this game. The only downside to the game is the matchmaking (SOS) which isn't so great but besides that, everything else is great.

This game is great! Unfortunately, the load times on PS4, and the time it takes to get things done in general, keep this from being a 10/10. It's amazing, but it's not my favorite game.

After having spent over 500 hours on the base game, I was super excited to play Iceborne. I certainly wasn't disappointed: the expansion has so much new stuff to do, it's almost like you get a MHW 2! There's a lot of brand new monsters, a story that's about as long as the original one, and with the new hunter rank, you get to kill even all the old monsters again in a stronger version. Definitely worth the money - this is how all expansions should be.

Iceborne is the expansion for MHW with the introduction of master rank. It is also the tradition of MH series, which is called "G" before. As a player who has played through almost all MH series, I think Capcom has tried their best to make things right in MHWI. Many classic monsters were remade by HD models with much more abundant details and new movements. The production and upgrade of new equitments are always additive. The introduction of claw is also interesting more or less. Many new methods to deal with monsters' movements have been created. The gameplay before clear is absolutely fascinating. However, the design of later game period is terrible. Guiding land was absolutely **** I can't understand why it could get through as the main gameplay content after game clear, especially on the basis of their interesting, additive ultimate quests in MH4U and MHGU. In former MH with G expansion, the later gameplay experience is full of challenges of course, but the designs of monsters allowed players to face the challenges. But in MHWI, what I saw was only the repeating experience repeated over and over again. It is still a good expansion for MH of a new age, but regretfully far from great.
