Monster Hunter: World review – in hot pursuit of the beast within Games Simon Parkin's Game of the Month Monster Hunter: World review – in hot pursuit of the beast within The latest in a visceral series, this breakout hit shoves humans back down the food chain to a land where dinos roam ‘The sooner you can latch on to its back, the better’: a chase in progress from Monster Hunter: World. Google’s prying satellites have mapped every furlong of the planet, while sonar long extinguished any hope of some subterranean Mesozoic outpost. Monster Hunter: World rejects this approach and returns to the romance of the Victorian stories: it sends you off to a forgotten continent, one filled with wild and unclassified megafauna to investigate, spot, capture or kill. By entering this world, you are making a mortal commitment: to rejoin the food chain from which humans have, largely, escaped. Just as the Victorian novels met a mass craving for a world uncorrupted by man, Monster Hunter: World has picked its moment well.
