    While the monsters don't pose much more of a threat than the tempered monsters one could find at the end of Monster Hunter: World, they have nearly triple the health bar. This has the effect of lengthening but not deepening the experience. Increased randomness in decoration acquisition and some strange quality-of-life downgrades make Iceborne feel like a sidegrade to the original game,While the monsters don't pose much more of a threat than the tempered monsters one could find at the end of Monster Hunter: World, they have nearly triple the health bar.

    The endgame may well justify the $40 pricetag, but the boring first 6 hours seriously undermine that value proposition. If you mastered the base game and seek a greater challenge, it.may be some time before you find it in Iceborne.    … Expand

    Excelente, añaden una cantidad de contenido muy digno para la versión “Ultimate” de un juego de la saga y la subida dificultad realmente cumple sin llegar a ser injusta en ningún momento.La expansión vale totalmente su precio. Como único aspecto negativo me atrevo a criticar que el arco sigue sin ser balanceado como se debe.

    i've rarely witness an extension with so much new material.... there are like 50 to 100 hours more easily to play again.
    Superbe extension , contenu gigantesque et tout les aspects du jeu de base sont ameliorés, ca va grinder sévére pendant des centaines d'heures... et graphiquement sur OneX ca depote bien ( mode graphismes conseillé par digital foundry )

    Amazing expansion! It adds everything the game needed, now it is a complete and proper MH experience. This is one of the best if not the best MH games, don't be deceived by people who are salty that it is not on a certain system ;)

    Iceborne expanded on MHW in a way that most games' DLC cannot come close to matching. You will tell when you play this game how much attention to detail was taken by the CapCom developers. The addition of the Seliana base along with Hoarfrost Reach adds an element to the base game that isn't necessarily missing however is appreciated to even out weapon elements, monsters, and the gameIceborne expanded on MHW in a way that most games' DLC cannot come close to matching.

    The customization of weapons, armor, charms, tools, decorations, and newly added Pendants all bolster the initial games offering doubling the content as well as raising the max rarity to rarity 12. This is Iceborne's most compelling strength as it adds hundreds of hours of additional gameplay for $40.

    I definitely would recommend this game to anyone interested in this genre of gaming. It is the best game in its niche category. And whats better - there are no in-game micro-transactions!

    This is one of, if not the best expansions of this year. Monster Hunter: Iceborne has enough content to have it's own fully fledged sequel. Plus, it's more Monster Hunter. What could be better?

    Well, the game developers clearly know what the fans wanted. This deserves a 10.

    One very in depth game with beautiful environments and fun mechanics - especially if this is your first MH game. But, it's not perfect.

    The Goods
    - Every weapon changes how you experience the game
    - A lot of depth in character customization (skills, gear, cosmetics)
    - Decent story that keeps you engaged through the early game although I don't like the main character having no dialogue at all.
    - A lot of learn and to explore ending in hours of things to do

    The Bad
    - Technical difficulties plague the game resulting in frustrating experience. From lack of optimization resulting from frame drops to connection issues not being able to join sessions or quest and requires multiple attempts really sours the fun. The most frustrating thing is sieges which requires groups to complete, first it can take 10-15 minutes to find a group, and then you are disconnected before the siege is complete and there is no way to rejoin.. GG.

    In summary, this is a great single player game that will consume hours of your life. Don't expect much from the multiplayer and endgame.    … Expand

    That was a very fun and sometimes extremely strenuous ride. I liked the new world, as well as almost all new monsters (e.g. a tigrex could have been made much cooler by the moveset), but I didn't know any monsters from parts before.

    There were some changes to the weapons in terms of gameplay, each weapon got a new move that can be really nice. The clamp claw for wounding the monsters was also cleverly integrated.

    The story itself sucks, but not that important, the cut scenes, especially for presenting the monsters, are very strong.

    All in all a successful expansion. 8/10 slingshot ammunition.    … Expand

    Monster Hunter World: Iceborne adds loads of impressive monsters and tons of quality-of-life improvements to an already incredible game.

    Despite it being an expansion pack, Iceborne is pretty much another game built upon the many layers of Monster Hunter: World. It adds new monsters, a new location, and new armour and weapons to customise, but Iceborne also delivers new details that are fleshed into the core title. The Clutch Claw mechanic transforms the way combat works for the base game, as well as the expansion, and the monster fights are as epic as ever. Each monster gets their own platform to shine, and Iceborne does not end with the completion of the campaign. As most Monster Hunter fans should know by now, concluding this expansions campaign is only the beginning.
