Monster Hunter: Iceborne it's the return call to longtime franchise lovers, especially those who had reached the point where there was nothing else to do in the original release. Iceborne is a substantial expansion designed for those who demand a challenge.

A great expansion that left an impression of an entirely new sequel to the game due to its wealth in content. The developers really pushed the limits of the available options and created new mechanics to improve on the base game. If you loved the hunt before, this will be your opportunity to jump back in.

Basically, if you love Monster Hunter World, this is more Monster Hunter World. If you don’t like Monster Hunter World, this isn’t going to change your mind. As someone who falls in the former category, I am so happy for this expansion and I can’t wait to pour even more hours into this game than I already have.

Monster Hunter World was already a great game but with Iceborne, Capcom has made it even better. It is easily one of the best expansions released for a game this generation and worthy enough to be considered on its own.

Iceborne is a wonderful sequel to one the best multiplayer titles of the 8th generation. In fact, Iceborne offers so much content and improvements over the original Monster Hunter World that it could have been a standalone title and not an expansion pack.

Despite it being an expansion pack, Iceborne is pretty much another game built upon the many layers of Monster Hunter: World.

Iceborne is basically what we expect from an expansion. It has a new region to explore, a lot of monsters and a consistent endgame. It's the perfect excuse to spend another hundred hours in one of the best games Capcom has offered in this generation.

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is for devout hunters seeking yet more challenging encounters, and for those it is a must-have. Bolstering the game’s repertoire of monsters and tweaking the gameplay in small but meaningful ways, it’s more of the same – but in the best possible way.

Monster Hunter World is undoubtedly a title this generation needed. Its first expansion, Iceborne, has captured the unanimous consent of players, from series lovers to new levers, in its icy grip. With the refinement of the mechanics already present and a disheartening amount of content, Iceborne is able to keep us engaged for hours in search of materials, with a deep and satisfying endgame compartment.

Not a bad expansion by any means. It's just that fundamentally its current balancing of monster hitzones, impediment of clutch claw mechanics, and process of endgame grinding/gearing elongate an already long process into a longer one than necessary.

At the end of the day, Iceborne is an amazing expansion to an already amazing game. Providing greater challenges and greater rewards, tight and improved controls and a deep narrative of its own, this is a must own for both vets and newcomers to the series.

The new monsters, locations, and quality of life changes are extremely welcome, and while $40 is nothing to sneeze at, I definitely feel like you get your money’s worth with this one.
