This game is really fun with friends a very overall good experience with unfavorable details.
The game is a newer entry to the monster hunter series and it is a better one for new players,with the base monsters be a bit less of a hassle but as you learn they get harder and more interesting. The game overall has a nice new feel but has a bit more online issues that aren't as much or an issue in older titles. It is a case by case basis but the game overall is a really fun experience and challenging with friends or alone.

I highly suggest you get this game and if you are looking for a co op experience it is nice to do.
