Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Reviews
Iceborne is another generous layer of content for Monster Hunter World fans, but along the way it also makes a lot of welcome changes that existing players and newbies will enjoy.
Iceborne is an essential expansion for a game that is paradoxically both enormous and niche. I’d recommend it to everyone – even if only because it’s likely to convert a few of you to veganism.
Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is an essential purchase to experience the series as a more complete package. This is a game that does not give up its secrets easily, but offers players a wealth of options to succeed - with enough perseverance.
In general, the game feels quicker and more fluid to play, no matter what your chosen weapon style is.
Capcom has done a lot over the last year to bolster Monster Hunter World's PC offering, but the delayed release schedule looms large.
Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is a perfect expansion and worth every penny. The new content is substantial, but the sheer amount of improvements, extensions to existing ideas and game changing additions offered up alongside the new area and monsters makes it so easy to recommend. If you enjoyed Monster Hunter:World, you should buy Monster Hunter World: Iceborne today.
Fails to explore its themes but still delivers the series' most potent monster hunting yet.
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.
You’ll not only be entertained by Monster Hunter World: Iceborne for hours, but you will be in awe of its complex systems, and how they align so well to create an unforgettable expansion to an already fantastic game.
Capcom continues to do what it does best in this series, improving upon prior efforts to refine these games for an even finer sheen.
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.

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.
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.
Despite it being an expansion pack, Iceborne is pretty much another game built upon the many layers of Monster Hunter: World.
Iceborne, the newest expansion to 2018’s Monster Hunter World builds upon the series in classic fashion, much like previous western releases in the series have. The games often released in Japan and then released in the west a year later with additional content. That is also where the expansions biggest barrier lies: You must complete the main story of Monster Hunter World to engage with Iceborne. The expansion is more difficult, introducing the master rank hunts, with more difficult monsters that will require you to put your skills to the test to overcome each new challenge.
Monster Hunter World: Iceborne takes what was great about the base game and provides more of it.
Iceborne is an excellent expansion that adds - both in quantity and quality - to the strengths of the base game and is aimed at those who have become familiar with the game and have begun to find it easy.

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne takes the already stellar combat system and refines it further while also giving players plenty of great new monsters to take down, slice apart, and then put together into gear to hunt their next target.
The Iceborne expansion delivers a sequel’s worth of content with how much it expands Monster Hunter World.
Capcom’s Monster Hunter World: Iceborne expansion is a prime example of what an expansion should be.
