WAIT FOR A SALE IF YOU WANT IT.
I'm in the middle ground with this game but I'll still give it a positive because it's a fun game.
The amount of content you get in the base game is not worth the asking price in my opinion (haven't tried dlc, still waiting for big discount).
For the game itself, the fighting system now is very good. Your hunter is probably the most agile compared to other MH series. You can do wall run and other acrobatic stuff. Some weapon moves from previous series are now made into weapon skills so you have to choose what skill you want (ie. the insect glaive vertical plunge from a jump move is now a skill).
You get a new move for every weapon called silkbind move. If you hit a monster with silkbind move you can usually ride it. While riding a monster you can crash it into a wall or you can attack other monster with it.
There's a new "game mode" called rampage, it's basically a tower defense game like Orc Must Die. Very cool for the first couple of times but after that it's gets pretty boring. Items from rampage are used to make rampage weapon, a weapon that you can slot attribute in (atk up, def up, element up etc). It's not that worth it in my opinion, the normal weapons is powerful enough to finish the game.
You can now bring a palico & palamute during hunts. These companion are pretty strong and really makes the games easier. Palico & palamute can be leveled up and equipped with skills.
Hunting area is quite big & have more verticality since you can wall run now. Exploring is really fun, you can find rare endemic life and lore while exploring.
For difficulty, I would say it's easier than previous game (thanks to help from palico & palamute), but sometimes it ramps up drastically for certain monsters.
The new monsters design are based of Japanese folklore ghost & pretty good. There's an apex version for some monster, apex monster is bigger, hit harder & have some new move. Items from apex monster is used to upgrade rampage weapon.
Endgame content is farming rampage & apex predator which is not very fun in my opinion.
Event quest is pretty meh. Most give emotes & pose which is useless in my opinion. Only a couple give you layer costume and some of it are just reused from MHW.
For the graphics I can say it is less taxing on your PC than MHW.
All in all a good & fun game but horrible pricing. Wait for a sale, a big sale.
