N-Gamz

Â The use of adaptive triggers
All DLC released and an ultra complete game
A sumptuous artistic design inspired by feudal Japan
A titanic lifespan
The addition of the Chumsky
The game in multi ultra fun
Strategy and preparation for combat
Les phases de Tower Defense
A level design that has gained in verticality

Nintendo World Report

Good variety without being overwhelming
Lots of quality of life improvements for veterans
No more quest mysteries!
One of the most graphically impressive games on the system

Shacknews

Huge bestiary of new and returning wyverns to hunt
Wonderfully varied environments to explore
Wirebugs add another fun layer to offense and mobility
Wyvern riding is highly satisfying
Palamute buddies are both adorable and highly functional
Online is amazingly smooth
Handheld play runs stable even in chaotic situations

Tutorials are a non-intuitive gauntlet of text
Some weapons got far more practical Wirebug attacks
Too many menus to access simple things like online
Still quite grindy
Story is tremendously corny and non-essential

Fascinating and moving setting;
Pleasant story to follow and with some twists and turns;
Graphically impressive and with significant improvements over the previous version;
A port adapted to the new generation of consoles;
Fun gameplay...

... even if they are not immediately accessible;
It takes a lot of experience to play alone;
Multiplayer combat can be confusing.

wccftech

Palamutes and palicoes mean you'll never have to hunt alone
Village and gathering hub combined into one big region for online play, giving hunters access to all of their facilities even when playing online
Wirebugs and new hunter skills can turn an experienced hunter into a stylish powerhouse
Wyvern riding is a fantastic combat opener, especially if you can get two monsters to have a turf war
Can't forget about that catchy dango song

Village quests feel more like a tutorial for online multiplayer than a proper campaign
Rampage quests are the series' second worst quest addition, next to egg deliveries
Talisman farming a major time waster for lategame hunters that want the perfect build
New flagship monsters aren't as iconic as Brachydios or Velkhana

Game IT

An exceptional gameplay, one of the best of the saga.
Its verticality and mobility make it even more addictive.
The various improvements and technical additions make it superb. Non-existent loading screens.
A round experience full of challenges and content, resulting in countless hours of gameplay.

It does not include and must wait for the launch of Sunbreak, the extension.
Have no cross-play or cross-save.
Some graphic and technical elements betray its origin in Switch.

Windows Central

Fast-paced gameplay improved thanks to higher frame rates and resolution
A large roster of awesome monsters to hunt
The PC version comes packaged with all the post-launch content updates
The Rampage missions are chaotic but fun arcade-like hunts once you formulate a sound strategy

Creating specific builds for your character can be restrictive
Hunting in multiplayer can be straining on the eyes at times when there are four players and four NPC partners fighting at once
The story is too simple for those looking for a complex narrative

GamingBolt

Looks stunning, and is without exception the best looking Switch game
great maps
fantastic and imaginative monster designs, both visually and mechanically
the new traversal mechanics are an absolute revelation, and make it a joy just to exist in the game world
the online functionality is the best in the series
the return of several longstanding series elements World eschewed, while retaining all of World's innovations
multiple QOL improvements that make Monster Hunter even quicker and more fun
great hub village and atmosphere
extremely polished, deep, and accessible, delivering the best Monster Hunter game yet.

Short on content at launch, especially in the endgame
easiest game in the series so far
extremely lacking in narrative content, including having an abrupt end that happens before a proper resolution
Rampages aren't anything to write home about.

Addictive gameplay
Wide variety of monsters to hunt and kill
Plenty of quests to keep you busy

Clunky combat
Steep learning curve
So much menu-ing it can be overwhelming at times

8.1

Geeko

Gameplay that proves rewarding
Many missions playable alone or with others
Pretty and fluid
A good soundtrack
Very convincing mechanics

The ?quests Calamity? a bit messy
A game that takes time to appreciate
You have to hang on to the concept
Necessarily repetitive
A graphic work that could have been more consistent

KeenGamer

Monsters old and new return, with their sweet gear
Greater challenge with Master Rank
Follower quests make single player runs more enjoyable

Qurious Crafting feels like an exceptionally brutal gacha
Still the issue of very bizarre hitboxes, especially vertical
Talisman farming is still a thing, and it?s still very painful to deal with due to the crazy RNG

Xboxygen

Ultra generous content
The bestiary (unpublished or not) with hair
The dynamism of the fighting
The filopter that fluidifies the whole
The atmosphere and aesthetics adopted
The Monster Hunter World recipe that still works

Targeting not always at the top
Some camera problems
The scenario, a simple pretext
The tracking system in retreat
