    Monhun has infamously bad onboarding…probably the worst this side of Dwarf Fortress. Fantastic series once you get into it, though. The scary thing is…the new games are way better about it than they used to be.

      I played 100 hours of World and I honestly didn’t enjoy a minute of it. I have no idea what people like about the series, and I especially dislike the comparisons to Dark Souls. It’s nothing like souls.

        I feel like every MH game I’ve tried to get into I play a few dozen hours and just lose interest, same as most Soulsbourne games.

        Different weapon classes with significantly deeper movesets than is ever explained, have to be tactical about when to move/attack, “boss fights” rely on reading the enemy’s moves and reacting appropriately.

        The moods and details are black and white different but I get the comparison.

        The way I learned the game is by feeling my way into it like it’s all WoW bosses but without the rest of the group. Even I didn’t get to 100 hours lol
