Game review: 'MonsterHunterWorld: Iceborne'
With the majority of recent triple-A releases being bogged down by multitudes of microtransactions, 2018’shas been one of the rare games that has rewarded its players with loads of free postgame content, from new monsters to track down to unlockable costumes to various seasonal events. After providing players with such quality free content for more than a year, Capcom has now released its first paid expansion pack,will know what to expect here.
Lucky for you, this strange new migration pattern leads the group right into a major discovery: the snow-covered region of Hoarfrost Reach. In Hoarfrost, it seems, mysteries pile up as high as the snowdrift. Without getting into spoilers, it seems like theexpansion is trying to do a better job than the base game at providing an interesting story for the player, though it still felt lacking.
There’s even a plump new Palico chef to provide you with meals, an absolutely adorable addition to your colonization team, even if it should probably do some more push-ups after cooking meals. Can cats be at risk for diabetes? I digress. I do admit that as much as I enjoyed Seliana, I can’t say I felt the same about the rest of Hoarfrost Reach once I embarked on my first hunt. Hoarfrost is an absolutely brutal landscape that will punish you mercilessly if you aren’t paying close attention. You must keep track of your vitals if you want to be survive. The new area is devastatingly cold, so you must drink Hot Drinks so that you can survive.
A bigger issue is that you aren’t given much room to fight most monsters, a major problem considering that most of Hoarfrost Reach’s marks occupy a great deal of space when launching attacks. I often found myself engaged in battles within areas that were entirely too small for me to maneuver. It made this already challenging game into aof an experience. Har har. That said, after the initial frustrations, it became a bit easier to dodge, attack and counter in the confined environments.
