Technical issue aside...

This is the most Beginner-Friendly Monster Hunter Game I've Ever Played! (Since World/Rise that is) This game is so easy and offers a more approachable experience for everyone. The mechanics are refined to ensure that even players unfamiliar with the franchise can enjoy the hunt without feeling overwhelmed.

The story also feels carefully crafted, emphasizing camaraderie and unity. making it feel like there's always an “us” rather than just me, a lone hunter braving the wild. This sense of companionship enhances immersion and emotional investment in the journey.

The biggest improvements is the implementation of reliable AI companions. In previous games, if you sent out an SOS signal for help but no one joined, you were often left to struggle alone. Here, the AI steps in to fill that gap, ensuring that you're never truly abandoned in a fight. More importantly, these AI allies are competent, actively assisting in combat, drawing monster aggression, healing, and performing useful actions that make the experience more enjoyable rather than frustrating.

And The Handler ❤️ 10/10 – Cute, Useful, and Fearlessly always by Your Side
Unlike past games where the Handler could sometimes feel like an unnecessary (and sometimes very annoying) guide, this version makes her a genuinely endearing and valuable companion. Her design and personality make her feel like a true partner rather than just an NPC who provides mission briefings.

Very recommended.
