The only reason why i bought this game was purely so i can play it with my girlfriend, who later on will cheat on me with multiple people and call me the bad guy, because reasons. But yeah, the game itself is kinda cool

One of the best ARPGs Ive played so far and definitely one of my favourite games overall.
And It is still stays true even after release of Wilds and Rise.

The combat feels just right, with enough depth and commitment to every move you do. Id even say it might feel like a turned-based action game, where both you and the monster take your respective turns to punish eachother.
Thankfully, its not a game where you button-mash your way to victory, especially in later fights, you HAVE TO learn monster's moveset and especially your weapon's moveset, otherwise you either fail by carting or just time-out. And it feels great to learn that stuff and improve as a player. And there is alot to learn for each of 14 available weapons, that even after hundred of hours you still might learn new things even about a single weapon you main.
You dont get better in the game just by getting better gear or leveling up your stats, you get better in the game by learning its mechanics.

The monsters design is overall great, especially in Iceborne and its TUs. While there are some outliers, it doesnt take away from the greats like Velkhana, Namielle, Alatreon, Fatalis, Rajangs, Odogarons, Anjanaths, Zinogres and so on and so forth. Id say over half of the roster is great, the other half is either good or good enough. And then there are few like Lavasioths, Zorah and other Leshens, which Id say are just not fun to fight, thankfully you dont have to do most of them multiple times.
This is probably the only game where you can kill monster 100s of times and everytime it still feels fun to engage with it.
I would've never thought that even grind for Decos and Materials might be so fun for hundreds of hours either just by doing Guiding Lands and slaying everything in sight or killing Tempered Teostra 300 times.

Depsite it being a 7 y.o game, it still looks great even now, even in comparison to the 6th gen. And runs great even on mid hardware.

The only negative thing I can say about the game is probably story, but it doesnt take that much time to finish it, and you still get to experience alot of great monsters in there.

It might be hard to get into, especially if you havent played a game like that before, but its a rewarding experience for sure. You can always try and read in-game tutorials which give you some basic info or just look some more in-depth ones on platforms like YT.
