Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
113 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The monster roster is very good and the gameplay feels like a significant improvement from its World/Iceborne roots, which are the two most important parts of a Monster Hunter game.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
86 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I've also logged a few dozen hunts with most of the other weapons, and those too feel like improved versions of their World counterparts.
