The performance is the only issue. I've not played a game that is held back this hard by awful optimization this hard. Its so fun but I couldn't take it anymore after 35 hours.
Fun game, interesting weapons, just an overall shame what happened. I come back to look at it so often, and just leave sad that the best monster hunter adjacent was screwed this badly.

It saddens me to give this game a negative review, but I have to.

The game itself was really damn good, the combat was fun, the karakuri system was just top tier and the dragon karakuri put Monster Hunter's navigation to shame. The kemono were a bit bland overall, but the last few were great.

They basically took everything that makes MH obnoxiously tedious and just threw it out the window, which was a great feat imo.

Now for the bad... The state this game released in was atrocious; I don't think I've played a game that launched in as a horrible state as this one and that really ruined my experience. I've never seen a game that ran so poorly to the point it had to run in SLOW MOTION!

A real shame it released as it did because it was great competition for the genre and it would've gotten far. But that's what you get when you choose EA as your publisher I guess.

its not like fortnite, its got great VA if you use japanese lol.
if you love monster hunter youll love this game
