Capcom sends off the previous era of their hit series with simply the most Monster Hunter stuff ever in one package. With the fantastic...

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is the almost-latest entry into the Monster Hunter franchise. Possibly spurred on by the gangbuster success of Monster Hunter World earlier this year, Capcom made the decision to finally localize Generations Ultimate, also known as Monster Hunter XX (Double Cross)...

I've been playing Monster Hunter games for a long time - my first was Monster Hunter Freedom Unite on the PSP all the way back in 2009, and my most recent, prior to Generations Ultimate, was Monster Hunter World earlier this year.

Old World, new tricks

Loads of content; Over 90 large monsters; Nice to have a Monster Hunter game on Switch

UI is clunky; Crafting feels unwieldy; Annoyingly overcomplicated; Still looks a little rough

While harder to recommend widely than the much more user-friendly Monster Hunter World, GenU is still a fantastic game in a fantastic series, if one...

A frankly absurd amount of content; Upscales really well; 'Classic' MonHun at its best

Sorely misses World's quality-of-life changes; Some redundant style/weapon combos; Hope you enjoy grinding..

It may not be World, but Generations feels like a fitting substitute for the Switch in absence of the franchise's most recent smash hit. It compiles some of the Monster Hunter's most iconic beasts and provides an extensive look into the series' history ahead of its most recent evolution.

Everything changed for Capcom's Monster Hunter series in January 2018, which saw the successful release of Monster Hunter: World on the PlayStation 4. Not only did the series change platforms from Nintendo's family to that of Sony's (a reversal of the situation that took place only a few years...

Monster Hunter has seen something of a resurgence in 2018, first with Monster Hunter World on lesser consoles like PC and PS4, and now with Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate landing on Switch.
