Monster Hunter World - Review

Monster Hunter World, a new beginning

Monster Hunter World review: 

It's been 13 years since I first ventured into green valleys and swampy terrains, which reminded me of the extremely successful Jurassic Park. 

I remember going to get what would become my favorite game until now and finding an extra disc, not from behind the scenes or any soundtrack, but something quite recurrent from those times, a demo. 

Today, I look back and realize that I won not just one series of choice, but two. 

The connection I have with Monster Hunter is thus distant, valuing its slow and penalizing gameplay, associated with a systematic grind that continues to entice me until today. 13 years with a formula that in Japan will never have let Capcom look bad, a franchise that until the World iteration many had discarded in the west, either because of the platform it was on, or because of the uninviting gameplay. The world is thus a bet that intends to globalize the franchise, allowing it to have the same success that it has always had in the country of the rising sun, a bet that proved to be right.

This is, by far, the biggest and best change that the series has ever undergone, presenting gigantic graphic improvements and a reformulation of the various components associated with the gameplay, to make it simpler, more attractive and fluid, perhaps to conquer the "new blood" attention. The truth is that all of this makes World the best Monster Hunter experience ever created. 

Our adventure begins after the creation of the character and respective faithful four-legged companion, Palico, this time through a character creation filled with options for all tastes, even for the little feline. The beginning resembles that of Monster Hunter 4, placing us on top of a gigantic dragon, an impactful encounter for new players that sets the tone for what they will encounter from then on.

Monster hunter map:

Each World map lives up to the game's title. No more divided zones with loading times that broke the pace of the experience a little. The pursuits are frantic and the world around us is filled with dangers and points of interest to use in our aid. Running after an Anjanath, sliding and climbing on slopes, only to realize that this same giant dinosaur is facing the famous Rathalos, an authentic frenzy of fireballs and superb roads, is almost like watching a Michael Bay movie, but being in the center of the action, which ends with the Anjanath fixed to the fangs of the iconic dragon, while it takes flight and hurls it down the ravine.
