It has detailed damage mechanic. The damage is area specific to the part of the chimera you hit. In the countryside quest, you will notice that you will inflict greater damage at the head rather than its body. While grabbing the monster, you can move to its head, wings, or its leg to cause specific damage to the monster. Hitting its leg would disable its ability to jump, wings for fly, head for damage.

The weapon mechanic is made more realistic. Timing and aiming are detailed and polished. It feels like the game of Monster Hunter series, with higher graphics of course. Wished they will include more classes and type of weapons.
