Currently, there are a large number of problems with the game. It is a direct PS4 port, which means the keyboard and mouse support is non-existent. If you want fluid gameplay on the PC, you'll need to find a way to use a console gamepad on the PC. The online game play has its own problems, monsters are out of sync with other players, more often than not you will see your allies swinging mindlessly at nothing. You will only experience this problem if you can even find an online lobby.

There is no communication options with other players besides pre-set messages that you have to scroll through a menu for. If you are lucky enough to have an enjoyable time experience this game in a random lobby with other players, there is no options to add fellow Slayers on Steam. In addition to this, the online game hub is very limited, it's a message board room where you can pick up missions, quests, and change equipment. If you want to do any sort of gear upgrade, you must leave the online lobby into single player mode to craft items. You risk losing your place with a possibly very good Slayer party.

There is no way of playing with friends on your Steam friends list, unless you live close enough to one another and you just happen to find the other person's lobby when searching online. I tested this with a friend of mine from Hong-Kong and it was not going to happen. We created games with passwords, and there was no way of finding or joining one another's lobbies.

There are, however, positives, not many, but they are there. The game is fun if you can get into a lobby with other fellow Slayers who know what they are doing and are competent. The 30 frame-rate cap is not as big of a problem as all people are making it out to be, the game is pretty, the 30 frames is very playable. The removal of the cap would be a huge improvement for the experience though. The gameplay is nice and polished, no graphical glitches, no gameplay glitches thus far.

For $60, and the immensely poor optimization, the game is not worth your money. Save your money until the game is patches and fixes these basic issues. Considering that it is not playable as a PC port, I will not recommend this game to anyone as of yet.

I will recommend this game to the die hard fans out there looking for a Monster Hunter equivalent on PC. If you have a console game controller and know how to use it with your PC, definitely give it a go, the game is fully playable with a console controller.
