*Non spoiler review*
Seeing the trailers got me interested, but still I was a bit skeptical on it. The game arrived, and I was like "Well, hope it doesn't disappoint".
Popped the card in, and right off the bat I was surprised at the depth of customization in the game. It's insanely good (I uploaded a few pics so you can see the variety in which you can come up with. I made about 5 styles). 3 male styles and 2 female styles. Males are "The Transporter", "Hip Hop", and what I call my "Assassin" style. The 2 female styles are "Goth" and "Spy". Overtime, you unlock different colors, accessories, decals, slogans, and outfits.
The beginning of the game can be quite tedious for some, as you are very limited to what you are allowed to due. (Due to your rank). But the way they implement it makes sense, and makes you "feel" like a low rank with little to no priviledges.
Gameplay wise.... for me this is the best hands down. I am a huge fan of fast-paced action, and this delivered it many times. Unlike other hunting games like Monster Hunter or Toukiden, you aren't limited on stamina with your attacks/running. There are a lot more things going on in the battlefield at the same time, this may be frustrating starting off, but once you adapt, it becomes less of a nuisance (Can still be tedious at times though). As far as the action... maaan there was one WOOOW EPIC moment I had, rescuing my accessory (The android partner you have). I was running from a bunch of abductors, and 2 of them were shooting at me. With the night time setting of that particular mission, the effects looked fantastic, and it looked like I was in an action movie, outrunning the bullets! I only wished my fingers weren't preoccupied from dodging, so I could take a screenshot lol. Also, the A.I is alright. It can get you through 90% of everything in the game. Later, you will be given the ability to command your A.I allies on what tactic to use. This is very useful in multiple situations. The game also sports a similar down mechanic to the gears of wars series. When a character is down (knocked out), there is a limited time in which you can revived. You can be revived by an ally if they're close. (In gears the one down yells REVIVE MEEEE lol). This addition is grreeeeeeat especially for the harrrd end-game missions. A bunch of cheap kills I tell ya, without that system, people would start to rage quit.
The thorn (Hook used) has its own usage bar similar to stamina though. The thorn can improve your mobility and help you dodge attacks you might not be able to dodge manually. There are 3 types of thorns, one that works as a trap/bind thorn. One that is used to heal a teammate overtime, or an area affect heal. The other one that improves you and your teammates defense by a certain percentage, or creates a thorn shield that blocks all long distance attacks, while your ranged attacks can go through it. It can also be used to drag down abductors to throw it off balance for a few seconds, which helps going in for raw damage.
Story-wise, it's alright. I enjoyed some parts of it, but a lot of segments could of used some spicing up that's for sure. Especially in the cut-scenes, but overall it has its interesting moments. I am actually glad it has a story to begin with. It leaves you with a few questions overall, but it looks like (and I really do hope) an actual add-on expansion is coming.
Controls feel fine to me, I use the default setting. Depending on your adapting ability to controls, you might have a few issues starting off. It may be like learning how to hold and play a video game for the first time (to some, not many).
Content wise, it's definitely a good start, but as said above, it leaves room for a definite add-on expansion. (Not a full new retail expansion release, but a digital content add-on).
The menus in the game, displays everything you need without being too cluttered or messy. I haven't had a problem navigating since my second day of play. The game does a great job giving you information on just about everything you need to know in-game. Crafting is great too, though RNG will play a part on some aspects.
Online is great! There are always plenty of rooms online. The community is fun, and there are always people willing to help. I have only done PVP day 1. It was kind of a bad experience, because I played against Japanese high ranked players, when I only had a rank one team. However, when we remade room to around the same ranks it was very fun! As long as you check your room settings, you should be good to go. There is txt and voice-chat in-game. You can even trade people some ammunition/medical items to help em out. It's also a nice way to welcome newcomers to the game. Surprisingly as well, there are people that took the time out to stream the game on twitch! I've been going around helping and partying with them. Fun times! Don't be afraid to type in "Freedom Wars" when you go into twitch. Vita streaming isn't really a thing, so it's awesome to see that there is a nice community for this game.
Overall, if you're a fan of this genre, pick it up! Best game in the hunting series imo, starting off. Has plenty of room for improvements and expansions. I give it an 8.5/10 from me overall. + Amazon's delivery was good = 5 stars for Amazon rating though lol. (enjoy my in-game pics)

Few beginner's tips:
You can revive a teammate by throwing your thorn at their downed body.
You can regenerate HP by going into cover
Each outfit has a different variation. Press Square when checking them out in the overhaul menu
Each hat has a different hair variation, you have to press start when checking them out.
At the end of a mission, it's good to command your accessory to harvest resources around the map. (Resources on higher/climbable ground they can't get).
If you obtain a bunch of weapons, and lose track of the ones you want to keep/upgrade. You can press left trigger in your inventory to favorite and lock what you don't want touched, so you won't mistakenly get rid of what you were working on.
Some melee weapons have more than one chargeable attack. (I just found that out myself). And each weapon have 2 dash attacks/moves.
