Iceborne is a little bit more of everything that makes Monster Hunter so enjoyable. The pace drags at times, but that's easy to forgive amid dozens of hours of cool new monsters to slay.

Monster Hunter is a massive expansion with some huge content (monsters, quests, ranks, sets...) and some good new features that will please everyone. A very good way to keep on hunting alone or with some friends, for dozens, no, hundreds of hours.

Capcom didn't just add a full-bodied, rewarding expansion to Moster Hunter World, but it actually turned it into the best "Ultimate version" in the franchise's history.

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is a massive undertaking that feels as fresh and expansive as a brand new game.
Iceborne is one of the books and I can’t wait to see what the developers do next for this franchise, because I’m not sure if it can get better than this.
Monster Hunter World Iceborne builds on its excellent predecessor with a plethora of new and returning monsters as well as some fun new mechanics to boot. The Clutch Claw is an especially fun addition to the game while Guiding Lands helps flesh out the endgame for folks who felt World didn't do quite as good a job in that department. Admittedly, certain endgame aspects can be a bit too grindy and some of the side stuff like Lynian picture taking can be wonky at times. Overall, however, Iceborne proves to be a better Monster Hunter World for fans of the series.
Capcom has gifted us more than just simple paid DLC with this massive expansion. The amount of fresh content packed into Iceborne amounts to a sequel built on the original engine. The new locale is beautifully rendered, offering exciting new sights and sounds as you explore the crisp snowfields and frozen caverns. Visually, each new monster is fantastically detailed in all their intimidating might, even the ones built upon the models of previous designs. What’s more, they keep you on your toes when visiting the original locations from the base game, adding a new edge to each hunt.
If you're looking to dive into a world and have the time to spare, Iceborne expands on an already massively satisfying experience.
Capcom has done a lot over the last year to bolster Monster Hunter World's PC offering, but the delayed release schedule looms large.
Although the story is paper-thin and subspecies of existing monsters take the spotlight a little too often, Iceborne breathes new life into Monster Hunter World and makes me want to sink many more hours into a game I’ve already spent hundreds with.
Monster Hunter World: Iceborne isn't perfect but it adds a lot to the franchise. The new monsters, gear and difficulty is the kick in the pants players need to start hunting again. Between new monsters, gear and skills it's hard to say no and you get a great deal of value for the price of the expansion. Even if it could do a bit more, by giving less skilled players a bit more to look forward to, this is an absolute must for anyone who loves Monster Hunter or just wants a harder experience.
Capcom have crafted the series' most ambitious expansion to compliment Monster Hunter's most ambitious title since the franchise's conception.
