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

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

With Monster Hunter World's resounding worldwide success, selling over 10 million units, and becoming the best-selling title in Capcom's history, the Monster Hunter formula has finally clicked with the West.

Amazing combat; Huge roster of monsters; Perfect to play on the go

Does a bad job of explaining its systems; Can seem overwhelming to new players

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..

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...

Familiar and fun gameplay; New combat customization; Built for portability

Extensive tutorials; No story

Months ago, I was keen to play Monster Hunter on my Switch. With such a huge push of the series with Monster Hunter World, I thought that the Switch game in Japan, then called XX, would be making its way here too.

Monster Hunter Generations is a good game. However, it really doesn't feel like one at times. After coming off of 50+ hours of Monster Hunter World, going back in time is difficult. The combat isn't as fluid, it has technical issues and is ripe with loading screens every time you enter a zone.

Plethora of weapons; armor; and hunter arts; Prowler quests are a fun way to mix things up; Monster are varied and challenging

Combat feels clunky at times; Loading between every zone; Limited use items make gathering certain items a chore

definitive, dated but still delightful

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.
