Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Review (PC) - The Burning Cold

Even with minor performance issues, Ice borne is still an incredible extension.

In recent years, I had a assist to play. To pursue higher numbers and to make this dopamine after hours of grinding to a happy, rare drop — it was a satisfactory yet sometimes hollow. And in fact, despite the new content and updates containing these games, they often miss some intangible, something absolutely not quantifiable — the centerpiece and the spectacle of persecution. Monster Hunter World Catches this feeling well and with ashore, the immeasurable heart and spectacle was substantially erected.

In view of reports about problems with stronger rigs, you may want to check how your system suggests before you get in.

It could be that you successfully concerted Combos with the long-grip and use a prediction slash at the right moment to counteract an attack. It could be that three monsters compete against each other in a thundering lawn war for eternity. Furthermore, it could be the first time that you fight against an older dragon and fight against a venerable nature of nature that could wipe the ground with you before they ultimately get the fight. Despite tormenting gameplay mechanics, its own share of RNG and grinding and some performance issues is the PC version of LISBON is just as excellent as its console brothers.

Let s get the most important out of the way: Your performance will vary. My setup consists of an Intel Core-i5 4440 with 3.1 GHz, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 with 6 GB VRAM and 8 GB RAM, which is not the best configuration. If you run the game on a solid state drive, load times are at least smooth. Some frame drops occurred when a quest was prepared, especially after prolonged play, but otherwise the game ran very well with high settings.

My only concerns are texture pop-in and a few random moments in the course of several hours, in which everything is froze only for 2-3 seconds and then continued. It did not interrupt the game and luckily did not happen too often. Considering the reports of stronger rig problems, you may want to check how your system suggests before you get in.

Otherwise, the extension is simply phenomenal, just like the first publication for consoles in September. Players go on a journey to Hoarfrost Reach after a swarm of Legions hiked, and meet numerous new monsters such as Barbara and behold to grasp.

Lisbon maintains the same excellent weapon design depth, while several new moves and mechanics like the Clutch Claw are added.

Finally, in Eliana, they have found a new base and use features such as Steamworks, a cute mini-game that divides objects from the fuel deposited therein. The survey lens to record images and networks of various rewards; New tailors for effective catching up goals when sharpening weapons, applying buffs and so on; And of course a number of new weapons and armor from Master Rank. Over time, they will encounter new subspecies for established monsters such as Viper Tobi-Kadachi, Bulgur Namath and others, along with the favorites of some series such as Barracuda and Genus.

Hoarfrost REACH feels well-thought-out and holds interesting challenges such as the trail through the snow and the handling of the cold (so that your maximum endurance does not play). It is unbelievable that tracks in the snow, collapsing trees and the monsters on the PC look incredible, especially in higher resolution and better picture quality. The sound design and the background music are still amazing — you will never tire to hear the orchestral music during the lull in the fight, then to rise again when the fighting is resumed.

Of course, the business card of the series has always been the fight. Lisbon maintains the same excellent weapon design depth, while various new moves and mechanics are mixed like Clutch Claw. It is now possible to attack monsters to attack them. You can load Singer ammunition, stunned on the head of a monster brackets and unload a singer outbreak to control it in a wall. This adds damage and strikes the monster to get a solid punishment. Of course, you can also attack with the claw to weaken a certain area of ​​the monster for bonus affinity.

The sheer amount of content in ashore Even if it lacks updates such as Racing and Stygian Zinger in the PC version, this is pretty stunning.

Consider now the different movements — z. For example, the wrapping of the thong, so that an IAI strainer immediately becomes a singer shock to stun monsters, or starting an element discharge with the switching ax to move into a fight, and exit with a zero-sum discharge for a monster And they have even more complexity. It may take a while to get used to it, but the possibilities during the fight are just incredible.

The monsters themselves enable such opportunities quite well. While new enemies bring new patterns and dangerous conditions, newer subspecies have their own tricks to get classic fights going. It can be challenging and entertaining how to get the way to the sleeping gas from Nightshade Pablum or overcomes the attacking range of Genus. It is for all, mind you — the master rank is easy to reach, but quickly brings you to trot, if you do not exploit the right elementary weaknesses or equip themselves specifically for some encounters. If everything fits, and they have the right combination of tactics and equipment, fighting in their own way are almost dizzy.

The sheer volume of content in ashore Even if it lacks updates such as Racing and Stygian Zinger in the PC version (which will appear shortly), this is pretty stunning. It s just incredible to have this selection of weapons and armor with so many unique and revised monsters, not to mention the advanced game mechanics and the possibilities. This is especially the case if you take into account that all monsters can be combated in the difficulty level of master rank.

For the monsterjäger faithful, monster Hunter World: Lisbon is the game of its best side.

But do not make mistakes — a large part of the game is still to deal with monster roar, anesthesia, better decorations, the cancel monster parts for these rare materials, lightweight camera problems, strange hit fields, etc. The gameplay loop may not appeal to any action RPG fan, especially those who are interested in a short meeting. Those who are willing to take the time to learn the advantages and disadvantages of the title will be happy.

For the monsterjäger faithful, monster Hunter World: Lisbon is the game of its best side. His fight with high missions, mixed with a venerable feeling of the amazement and thrill, increases him to every tip of the hack-and-slash food chain. It feels almost unfair to call this an extension — it s pretty much a new complete game, and that s great. While you could criticize the story or find your own proportion of problems with the performance, Monster Hunter World: ashore represents an excellent extension for fans and hardcore hunters and is full of new and interesting activities that you can kill long.

This game was tested on the PC.

THE GOOD

Beautiful new region. New activities are excellent additions to the game. Tons of weapons, armor and quests of master rank, through which you have to fight. New monsters and subspecies can be fought outstanding. Gameplay mechanisms such as the Clutch Claw and new moves ensure further variety in the star champion. The end of the game is much more concrete.
