I don't usually write reviews, but this game deserves each second of my time.

There's so much to say about it, you can feel the love the whole run, and it "solves" a lot of the issues that creep this genre in a very beautiful way.

The whole story is narratively impressive, not because it tells something new, but because you as a player can feel like it's believable, characters have realistic reactions and emotions, dialogues are solid and you're not spoon feeded with the whole information and lore, you experience it while traveling, because it wouldn't make sense for the characters to narrate out loud things they already know, you simply discover it while they happen.

The music is one of the best you can find in a game, but the most interesting part that solves a lot of the boredom you can get from it... Is the variety, you're constatly bombed with new themes, new ambience soundtracks, this makes so whenever you're progressing in the game, there's a new tone to surprise you and even when it's about to repeat, it's instead another version of a previous song, adding some freshness or directly having a meaning.

The combat compiles the best of every RPG genre you might have played, it obviously can have flaws for some people, but it's never annoying or boring (Maybe the postgame), I was always engaged and interested on fight the next enemy, instead of trying to dodge them, it also helps that whenever I talk with a friend, our composition or builds were never the same, making each run unique because the whole system is actually free from a linear gameplay.

The game obviously have some small issues, but that's the thing, they're small, they're not relevant enough compared to the amount of emotions and interest it provides, for example the menu is horrible haha, but since it's mostly spent on Pictos (The passive tree system) it doesn't soil the whole game.

Visually is beautiful, I have seen some people pointing out how it falls a lot on assets flips or something like that, let me tell you, It's not about what it uses, it's how it's used, and the developers knew how to take something that usually can come as lazy and actually make a inmersive world, where flying rocks and actually feel so magical

I don't know what else can I add, it's hard for me to find such experiences in a game nowadays (There are of course) and I never imagined a new "JRPG" would be here making me feel so much emotions

A must in your library...
For those who come after

I have been playing since the first Alpha/Beta and it's mostly upgrades to the games.
There's a really good inmersion into what a real time action DnD would be, lot of choices and progression and you can really feel the love and care behind every design.

I really recommended it.

The game not only have it's own amount of issues, but also HAS huge issues.
Base game was lacking at the start in a lot of directions, might have been justified because of the situation the developers were at the time, but it's still an issue for the user.
Eventually most of those issues were fixed and with Sunbreak it went in an even better direction.
Still, the game is not perfect, not a single MH game is perfect.
There are things that you can hate... No tracking of monsters, a faster pacing, wirebugs are a weird system that either you hate it or you love it, balance can be kinda a mess because of them... Endgame is grindy in a confused and weird way, keybinding sucks.
But you can find a huge amount of issues in World or previous games, not to say this makes the game untouchable to critics but I think even with the worst issues the game is still worth a try.
There's a lot of content, lot of armor and weapons, lot of monsters and challenges, the story is decent and the map/hub design top tier.
Give it a try, it cannot be that bad!

It's like Fortnite and CSGO had a weird children.

And i love it
