---{ Graphics }---
☑ Beautiful
As you'd expect from a LIS game - stunning and soothing to look at throughout.

---{ Gameplay }---
☑ Good
My only complaint - LET ME SPRINT! (fast walking still slow) When you're forced to slow walking it can be insufferable when you're going back and forth places. ^^"

---{ Audio }---
☑ Very good
The music sounds great! I liked all the character voices too, there wasn't any I hating hearing.

---{ Audience }---
☐ Kids
☑ Teens
☑ Adults
I think a Kid would get bored of this as the pace is slow in some areas, however the Larping and adventure was fun to play out!

---{ PC Requirements }---
☑ Decent
I wouldn't say my PC is bad spec but at times during cut scenes it may have briefly blasted my fans but that's about it. Ran smoothly!

---{ Game Size }---
☑ Workable
Like anyone, you'd like leave your PC and do something else while it installs so not too bad. Then install when done, the size is as expected of a game like this.

---{ Difficulty }---
☑ Easy

---{ Story }---
☑ Lovely
I enjoyed the story, it was emotional which is fitting for it's theme I however didn't feel much of a connection with many of the character like I did in the LIS games. This is just my opinion though!

---{ Game Time }---
☑ Short
I finished it playing over 2-3 nights. Obviously you could extend your time completing the game then achievement hunting after as it has that option but on this occasion I wanted to complete in one go!

---{ Price }---
☑ If it's on sale
I only bought this once it was on sale, I wouldn't recommend paying full price. ^^"

---{ Bugs }---
☑ None!

Would I recommend? Yes! Just grab it in a sale and enjoy the story and Alex's powers. If you compare to LIS 1 + 2 you'll only disappoint yourself. Easy play once kind of game. (:

I will state this is not my usual go to game but you can see the immense amount of care, time, detail and effort that has been put into it.
The detail in your surroundings, room decor/design, British humour and those jump scares that will get you even if you think you see it coming!

I do however wish the game/story was longer and had a bit more depth as I feel it was over to soon!
If you're looking for a short indie game with an interesting twist I recommend.

Dear Dev, DLC: Epic Ball Pit Room please!

woooooooooooood please! 11

Beautiful game, Loved my wispy companion ;> aaaaaaaa-bark bark bark 8/10

Not gonna lie, part of me died getting the "Can't catch me" achievement... 10/10 would rage at Zurks again

Visually stunning.. . I wanted to like this game so much but the fighting mechanics are so uncomfortable. :< that and some of the 2D platform forced views threw me off.

• Pretty enough achievements.
  
• CTRL Key is how you Zap Monsters (it doesn't tell you so I had maybe 10 achievements left before looking it up, RIP.) XD
  
• It's free to play, so I can't say much about it apart from Run Zeus Run!

650+ Hours on console, started again on PC during 2nd Lockdown I think?
Powered through for IB expansion as that's where the game truly begins for those who love difficulty!
If you own Iceborne then I highly recommend using the Free Defender Weapons & the Guardian a+ armour set as they are OP/better than anything you are going to craft in MHW Base game but it's completely up to you if you want to take it slow through MHW - IB as there is much to complete to upgrade certain items or acquire them like Mantles, unlocking canteen ingredients or Botanical Research Harvest Box ect. ;>

---

This was my first MHW game so I say this from experience! Take your time to learn about elemental/builds, weapons (Move sets) armour, monsters, items! Have fun and don't let it overwhelm you! - I'd go off fishing at times when I needed to relax having my *** handed to me by a monster and then come back later and show it who's boss.. xD

---

PROS;

• Not only do you get a Palico (cat) companion.. there are cat tribes (Lynian) ♡ Grimalkyne are my fave, I could stalk those cats all day! "You won't just be getting up close and personal with dangerous monsters in Capcom's famous series, cat-like beings known as Felynes can be found everywhere, and will even accompany you during missions, adding their kitty might to your own. Felynes can be equipped with armour and weapons and even sent out on special tasks when you're busy – and as time goes on they become more effective hunters. The pig-like Poogles are little more docile however, and act as pets, which you can dress up for your own twisted amusement."
  
• Many awesome weapons to choose from depending on your play style! Great Sword, Long Sword, Sword and Shield, Dual Blades, Hammer, Hunting Horn, Lance, Gunlance, Switch Axe, Charge Blade, Insect Glaive, Light Bowgun, Heavy Bowgun, and Bow.
  
• World design, multi-layered environments, Huge Maps that will leave you spending hours on an expedition, exploring and feeling out monster territories. There are caves to get lost in, hidden traps to spring on your quarry, hideouts where wild cats live. It's so stunning ♡
  
• Exciting And Challenging Combat!
  
• So much customisation with your char, your Palico and you even get your own room! (can be upgraded to new areas, display your rare pets/fish/birds you've found/captured.
  
• With friends, this game can be so much fun casual hunting together or preparing for big fights as they have events, challenges and silly things to do (;
  
• Did I mention there's cats? ... >_> ♡

---

CONS;

• Steep Learning curve but it pays off once you really sink your teeth into this game.
  
• Story... It's okay, just don't expect it to be a reason to buy.
  
• You'll either love or hate the Handler (If she annoys you too just swap language off English to original)
  
• It’s Not Welcoming For Newcomers but.. "Unfortunately, the welcome isn’t extended to newer players because Iceborne is designed to be endgame content meaning the player's character needs to be at the Hunter Rank 16 to play. Thankfully, players will get new armor sets and tools (Which I've mentioned above) to help speed things along so it's still very worthwhile picking up the complete set."

Why are you still reading this? Go buy, especially if it's on sale you won't be disappointed!

♡ There's so much I cannot fit in this review so please comment on one of my MHW screenshots if you want to reach out or need help! ♡

I enjoy puzzles when it's late and I need to zone out but I'm so disappointed as it's another game I didn't realise was "Profile Features Limited"

Why? Just why have all these stunning jigsaws with matching galaxy achievements and then not let people display them on a showcase. 💔

-pros
Many stunning galaxy jigsaws 👌

Very relaxing game of you don't want anything heavy to play.

-cons
Don't buy if you want go display those pretty achievements as you can't... RIP 💩
