[GAME REVIEW] Monster Hunter World - Games #16
By @anwarunsam
Hi steemian wherever you are always healthy and remain in the protection of God Almighty. So stay active as usual. This afternoon I will return to review a game played on PC that is not less interesting than the game I've reviewed before. That is Monster Hunter World! Let's see how the review!!
Monster Hunter is one of Capcom's most important franchises that actually does not get much attention from players outside of Asia. After just targeting gamers for Japanese territory with the release of Monster Hunter XX, Capcom finally decided to make his most ambitious new series, which is none other than Monster Hunter World.
When compared with its predecessor series, Monster Hunter: World is seen still carrying all the classic elements that carry the name of this series. Starting from the selection of resource load-outs, hunting deadlines, to world maps divided into several route options. But the most unique of this latest series is Capcom's move to release it in the next-gen console platform and PC.
A superior classic concept
Before entering the world of Monster Hunter: World, you will start this game like a MMORPG series. Because while presenting the storyline, every player is given the freedom to create their own Palico characters and associates. The character creation feature is really very detailed and full of interesting options. You can even create character creations that are similar to a famous character, or just playing with the complexity of its features.
Done creates character, you will be thrown in a story cutscene that shows the figure of your character and his Palico colleague. No matter how complicated and strange your character is, this game still manages to present it perfectly through cutscene footage, expression, until every gesture is done. The storyline only focuses on the movement of guilds of monster hunters who seek to conquer the legendary Elder Dragon named Zorah Magrados.
Officially joining the guild, you can either go through the usual hunting quest or just explore the area to find the unique monster, take the side-quest from the researcher, to collect the resources. Not only does changing the whole classical system become more effective, but Capcom also gives every player a chance to experience the epic moments of every world.
First impression
You who had time to try out the beta some time ago, it seems no stranger to what is trying to be offered by Capcom in Monster Hunter World this. With console capabilities that are certainly stronger than handhelds, they offer a more optimal monster hunting experience from a variety of elements. From just a pampering visual presentation, the effects of environmental destruction can also be exploited for strategic advantage, environmental design, story mode with epic cut-scenes, until, of course, while retaining the Monster Hunter appeal we've known for a long time. A game series that is ready to not only fulfill the franchise's veteran's passion, but newcomers are just about to jump into one of the most epic adventures they can get.
So the sensation of Monster Hunter that you know is still survive. Hunting monsters, searching for material needed to mix stronger weapons and armor, choosing the weapon that best matches the playing style of the 14 types of weapons prepared, and of course - having fun in the process of hunting monsters along with gamers around the world . Although Monster Hunter World is a story-based game that you can solve on your own, but for us alone, this is a game that will feel more optimal and fun if it is played in a multiplayer co-operative. Fight together to subdue the monsters that will come along as the number of players in the arena is the true essence of Monster Hunter.
All you need to prepare is time, because slowly but surely, this game will eat your "life", without you knowing it. The game concept that continues to make you feel achieving small progress with rewards that deserve to be pursued, will make it difficult to leave the controller, turn off the Playstation 4, and just rest. There's always a monster you want to hunt, there's always material you want to look for, there's always a weapon you want to racist and reinforce, and ends, there's always a stronger monster ready to challenge your strengths and skills. The integration of online mode that lets you help or solicit the help of other gamers easily also makes this addictive sensation stronger. How addictive? Enough to make us lose sleep in significant portions over the last two days of last weekend.
Of course, our task is still far from finished. After completing the "Low Rank" which takes about 20 hours, we are now entering the "High Rank" mode which incidentally contains monster variants in Low Rank in stronger portions, as well as loading new monsters that are now more deadly. If we have to compare, we have only one-third the content portion of what Monster Hunter World has to offer itself, something we will try to pursue before reviewing a week or two in the future. While waiting for the process, let us throw a load of fresh screenshots from this oven to help you get a clearer picture of what Monster Hunter World is. Gamers need to sleep?
Hunting monsters filled with epic moments
Just like the title, Monster Hunter: World is a game that focuses all its gameplay elements in a monster hunt mission. To maximize gear efficiency and hunting completeness in the best condition, you can go to Smithy and upgrade armor and weapons. Each weapon has its own unique controls, so you have to make sure which weapon fits best with the style of play. The same is true with armor, where you can choose armor with high durability but with low speed or vice versa.
No different from other classic Monster Hunter series, you are still faced with a world map with various branch lines and camps scattered in various corners. You can also follow the trail of monsters more easily in this new series, because you just need to follow the green light like Witcher Sense in The Witcher series. The HP player is also reduced less when exposed to attack from the enemy, which clearly proves that Capcom is trying to design this game for newcomers to adapt easily.
The concept of hunting monster when viewed from any point of view certainly impressed repetitive. But Capcom eliminates this deficiency with a world setting full of life and the laws of nature. Every monster in this game has uniqueness and a strong identity. You will definitely experience a different experience each time you encounter a new type of monster, which ultimately will make you addicted.
Co-op multiplayer features are addictive and exciting
To experience a more memorable hunting experience, you can take up to three players on a hunting mission. You can interact with the other three characters and design each best strategy before starting the quest. For example, you can be a front-line attacker with heavy weapons such as broadsword or shield ax, while others can fill tasks as support, diversion, and remote attackers.
In addition to strategy in determining the role of each team member, you can also use tactics to install the trap or the most extreme is to pit two monsters to fight each other. Keep in mind also that every monster being hunted also has a level of intelligence A.I and sharp response, so change of strategy is a must do when dealing with upper-class monster.
If you lack reinforcements when facing tough monsters, Monster Hunter: World adds an SOS Flare tool that can be used to signal other players to help you immediately. When exploring the world you also need to pay attention to scattered resources and can be collected. For example, if you run out of ammunition and healing potions, then the only way is to collect the resources needed for each recipe.
Consclutions
Enthusiasm in welcoming the new game is something that many gamers feared today. How not, because behind the appearance that looks promising, many AAA games that actually comes with poor quality and disappointing. But for Monster Hunter: World, this is just the opposite. When many gamers do not know the true quality of the Monster Hunter fraction, this game seems to be a great proof that makes many gamers from all over the world to be amazed.
Starting from the concept, gameplay mechanism, until the features offered successfully blended perfectly. Even after going through the beta stage for three times before release, improved graphics quality and performance can still be seen. If all these advantages are not enough to get you interested, Capcom also offers several collaboration events with game series like Mega Man, Horizon Zero Dawn, to Street Fighter V. Behind its complex system, Monster Hunter: World is the best and most suitable series to be played by newcomers and veterans alike.
