Gameplay? Absolute banger. Story? Surprisingly solid. Soundtrack? Slaps harder than Rajang on a bad day. Monster designs? Absolutely wilds especially Zoh Shia like damn wtf is that thing? And it transforms too? With Fatalis moves? My god.

And then… there’s the performance.

“Optimization? Nah, you got frame generation and upscaling, you’ll be fine.”
- Capcom, probably.

Sure, I can turn those on, pretend my 90fps is natural, and cope because I used to suffer through MHW:I at 30fps on a potato with a heatsink. But come on, no game should need this many life support systems just to run decently. Only buy this game if you have a decently beefy pc and only care about the gameplay. Otherwise? Wait for sale and pray Capcom patches this mess.
