Updated this review with 616 hours played including Iceborne.

This is the best game to welcome new players to this giant franchise.
Having played previous game like

• Freedom Unite
  
• Portable 3rd
  
• 4 Ultimate
  
• Generations Ultimate

This game is so much more accessible to newcomers. No more unnecessary and tedious gathering. Environments that are much more dynamic makes it a more immersive experience. Huge step up in game fidelity compared to predecessor.

PC load times are SO much faster compared to consoles and both controller and keyboard are supported so you can hunt in anyway you desire. Keyboard keys are remappable too.

Initial reviews were mixed as Capcom screwed up the online matchmaking during the launch week but it has since been fixed and everything is good. Mod support from Nexus Mods
makes the game even better than it already is, go and have a search and you will know what I mean. :P

Free monster content every 2~3 months is certainly a nice welcome.

TL;DR : Best Monster Hunter game Capcom has ever produced. This still stands with Iceborne expansion.

Personally feel that Capcom has outdone themselves and I am excited for the future of Monster Hunter.
