Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I know we are long past the point of this game getting updates, but it would've been nice to get maybe a "Random song" button so whenever you return from a hunt, it randomly chooses a new song from your available songs, or perhaps just some additional songs could be unlocked by doing quests without having to have heard it.

Game might not be an unreal engine crazy detailed game like Wilds, but the core mechanics of the game plus the gameplay elements are absolutely fantastic.

Slap on a texture pack or something if you need the ADVANCED NEXT GEN graphics.

Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
I find that even though the hunter is mega juiced in this game, the monsters don't lag behind at all.
