Monster Hunter: World is the latest title in the long-running Monster Hunter franchise and is the first mainline title to hit non-Nintendo consoles since Monster Hunter Freedom Unite on the PSP in 2008.

Most accessible iteration of the franchise yet; Tight; addicting gameplay; Visually impressive

Still a deep learning curve; Overwhelming amount of information

This game is good, first ever Gundam that's been brought to North America (it had been Japanese release only) However the draw back is, for online game play, you would have to join Asia servers since there's not a lot of players that play locally in the North America. Hence, it'll lag.
