“this is what i should have played before getting into MH wilds. maybe the character creator isn't the best and micromanaging the karakuri is too much for my adhd, but the kemono feel much more fulfilling to hunt atm. i…”
“It's sad this did not get some better optimization . I've enjoyed the game allot even with it being jittery sometimes and weird multiplayer optimization. The game is quite good if you can get over the optimization.…”

“Impossível jogar, o jogo crasha toda hora. Tendo em vista o preço que o jogo está nessa sale, aparenta estar nos seus últimos suspiros e o motivo é simplesmente a facilidade que esse jogo crasha e deleta o save, logo no…”

“While this game can't compete with Monster Hunter, it's still a lot of fun to play with friends. By the way, the main quest progression is terribly designed—you're hunting 2-star monsters in one mission, then suddenly…”
“Not worth the full price considering development for the game has stopped and some issues are still left to fix. But if you buy it on sale and the game doesn't crash for you, then it's definitely worth trying. Comparing…”

“♥♥♥♥ this game spent $75 dollars on a game to do nothing but crash stop wasting people time and money with games not going to run properly”
“DODGE suddenly stops working after a few hunt, needs to restart the game to fix the issue”
“Damn game decided to crash and not start after playing for 65hrs. Welp, that's progress and playtime down the drain. Won't be buying another game from EA that will have their launcher incorporated.”

“This game is good ***BUT*** it runs like crap. My current recommendation is to buy it when it is on sale (dirt cheap) and see if you can get it to run at a level you think is playable. DO NOT BUY THIS AT FULL PRICE, if…”

“Incredibly and stunningly not fun. The movement of your character is smooth as you traverse the map, but that changes as soon as combat begins. The combos are simple enough, but the camera movement during combat is so…”
“The Temu version of Monster Hunter.”

— a player, Steam review · 21 hrs played“Held off on trying this game due to hearing about the poor performance, but seeing as it was on sale for $7, decided to give it a try, as I figured even if it runs poorly $7 was fine. Started the tutorial, got through character customization, and as I go to do the next fight,…”
