If you’re already a fan and want to know as simply as possible if Iceborne justifies its price tag, then let me put it like this: I had 200 hours in World before this expansion, and I’ve racked up almost another 200 since I started it. So yes, there’s a lot of bang for your buck. But if you’re at all interested in Monster Hunter beyond a time sink, then Iceborne complicates World in both incredibly interesting and some deeply disappointing ways.
This beefy expansion is a mix of new monsters, regions, mechanics, and a whole new endgame, all geared towards veteran players. For those who dipped their toes in World or didn’t see it to the end, Iceborne has almost nothing to offer. Capcom has made this for its dedicated fanbase, and to its credit, managed to offer up not just something that will satisfy their desire for new content, but also provide a new structure for the game’s hunts that goes beyond simply offering ‘more’.
