Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The monster roster is very good and the gameplay feels like a significant improvement from its World/Iceborne roots, which are the two most important parts of a Monster Hunter game.
77 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.

71 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
The community is active and multiplayer is close to World’s system with no issues, filtering, cross-platform, and players willing to help with random SOS quests – or you just use NPC hunters.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack, the combat (with a new wound mechanic) and the monster designs and areas are incredible, the performance issues almost make sense when you see the beautiful landscapes you commit mass genocide in.
