596 player ratings, 88 average. The people have spoken, clearly. A role-playing game built for the long haul, from Capcom — the kind you lose weekends to. The story is the main course; the multiplayer is the reason it's still installed years later.

About this game
Welcome to a new world! Take on the role of a hunter and slay ferocious monsters in a living, breathing ecosystem where you can use the landscape and its diverse inhabitants to get the upper hand. Hunt alone or in co-op with up to three other players, and use materials collected from fallen foes to craft new gear and take on even bigger, badder beasts!
The player takes the role of a player-created character who travels to the "New World", an unpopulated landmass filled with monsters, to join the Research Commission that studies the land from their central command base of Astera.
