Despite launching several months later, Monster Hunter World: Iceborne on PC is a grand experience, full of awesome monsters to hunt, worthwhile weapons to grind and more depth to the combat. Even with performance issues and quirks unique to the series, Iceborne is simply essential for every Monster Hunter fan.

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne doesn’t solve any of Monster Hunter World‘s underlying issues, such as its insistence on splitting up players for short bouts when playing in co-op. The expansion content itself also isn’t going to make those who weren’t too enamoured with the game originally change their minds, and it’s not ideal for those who found their skills pushed to the limit by the base game’s most fiercest foes. 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...

A thrilling new adventure, but it's not just the world that's chilling.

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.

Still, Iceborne is a remarkable achievement. I’m slapping the Bestest Best sticker on it, and not just to make up for the fact that I erroneously didn’t slap it on the base game. Together, they form a standout work that excels at everything it sets out to do, with the exception of storytelling. Iceborne adds even more joyful oddness to what is, perhaps, the most idiosyncratic and whimsical of recent graphical benchmark blockbusters. It boasts the sort of production values that seem antithetical to risk taking, while remaining a deceptively vast and information-rich game, that places an easy thousand hours...

Iceborne is as good as expansions get. It presents welcome tweaks to the original formula and monsters that will challenge even the toughest of hunters. If only more of the campaign explored this.

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne makes important quality of life improvements and gives fans of the game a ton of new content to master. While it would have been nice to have less repeat monsters, the expansion is still massive in scope and has more content than some full-fledged video game sequels do. Iceborne offers Monster Hunter World players their toughest challenges yet, and it should keep fans plenty busy until Capcom does decide to finally give fans a proper sequel.

Iceborne is an absolutely massive expansion to one of the greatest action-RPGs released in recent memory. Not only does it add a sizable campaign, a huge new locale, and over two dozen new beasts to take down, but it also refines and adds upon the base game’s content in ways that make it hard to go back to the vanilla version. Master rank brings much-needed challenge and variety to World, and the new endgame gameplay loop is brilliant. Although the story is paper-thin and subspecies of existing monsters take the spotlight a little too often, Iceborne breathes new life into...

That’s what it comes down to, really. These days, there aren’t many games I’m willing to surrender hundreds of hours of free time to, but somehow, some way, Monster Hunter found an opening. World laid the groundwork, and now Iceborne is here to carry me through the rest of 2019 and beyond. Mentally, I’m not even ready to start thinking about Capcom’s post-launch plans for the expansion.

At $40 Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is an absolute steal for those who had countless hours of fun with the original game. For $60, players who may want to give the game a try for the first time can do so with the base game included. The whole package acts as a great introduction to what awaits at the end of the entire story, which altogether probably amounts to around 80 or 100 hours at this point. With Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, this game has definitively become the best entry in the series by far.

2018’s Monster Hunter: World was a successful update to the long-running beast-slaying series. Fully functioning ecosystems and updated combat crafted an experience where each battle was a unique challenge even after hundreds of hours. World’s latest expansion, Iceborne, is massive. Building up a solid framework, it brings dozens of new monsters and ups the difficulty for a deeply rewarding adventure.

Capcom’s signature monster hunting series of similar name made its first running leap from Nintendo handhelds onto the more powerful consoles (and PC) last year with a surprisingly well-paced new entry. Monster Hunter World felt familiar enough to veterans while changing up the core formula just enough to entice new players. Now that players have had more than enough time to hunt rare Tempered variants of the main cast of monsters or farm seasonal quests night after night in search of a Mighty Bow jewel, it’s finally time for a new challenge. It may be Pumpkin Spice season for the...

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is a fantastic expansion that almost feels like a sequel with all of the content that’s packed into it. There’s a huge cast of monsters to hunt with lots of new equipment to keep you going for another year at least and along with the promise of post-launch content like the base game received, you’re in for another treat when you make the journey to Hoarfrost Reach.

Iceborne takes what’s already fantastic and nearly doubles the original game in size. If you haven't played Monster Hunter yet, now is the time to start!

Monster Hunter World reached a wider audience than any other game in the franchise, mesmerizing new hunters and pleasing longtime veterans. World had its extreme challenges, but they were tucked away in late- and post-game content. You didn’t have to be an expert to succeed, which made it more newcomer-friendly. If you were waiting to have your skills truly tested, Iceborne scratches that itch; you have to fight hard for your victories, but you savor them when you finally slay a punishing beast. Iceborne gave me a larger adrenaline rush than I ever experienced in World’s base game, but it’s...

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is an excellent expansion so large that it almost feels like a sequel. It's a better version of a great game.

When I lost, I almost stayed knocked on my ass, pouting that the game is too frustrating — more punishing than the base game ever was. But instead, I took Iceborne’s hand, got back up, and it showed me one of the most rewarding video game experiences I’ve had this year.

When Monster Hunter: World first launched back in 2018, I (and most critics) applauded Capcom for turning their niche monster-slaying property into a more streamlined series, a title that the entire world finally cared about.

A true beast of an expansion, Monster Hunter World: Iceborne adds a boatload of impressive new and returning monsters and improvements to an already incredible game. It’s almost big enough to be a sequel in terms of the sheer amount of content it adds – even if it leans a little bit too heavily on Subspecies and Variants of familiar monsters at times (though that’s an issue veteran fans may not be bothered by as much). Iceborne is exciting and creative throughout, reiterating Monster Hunter: World’s place as one of the very best games of this generation.

These days a full expansion for a game is a rare thing. Most of the time if a game receives content updates, it’s as part of a season pass or some live service scheme. I’m so used to small bits trickled out at an irregular pace that I’m a bit taken aback (in a good way) by Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. Instead of just one new monster and some clothes or something lame like that, Capcom has elected to go old school and give us something more akin to Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction or The Witcher 3: Blood and...
