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.

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is an acquired taste that long-standing fans of the franchise will happily drink from. The formula for killing monsters and turning them into better gear to take on the bigger monsters is an addictive loop that is only broken up by the mindless and annoying 'egg...

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is only the second Monster Hunter game I have played. The biggest problem with this is that the first was Monster Hunter World. Why is this a problem Well, that one is ten times the game that this new one is.

Generations Ultimate is a fantastic time for those who didn't play the original 3DS version.

definitive, dated but still delightful
