Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate Standard Edition - Nintendo Switch

If you are a fan of the old school type of MH you are in for a treat. This is a beefed up version of the 3ds monster hunger. But it plays amazing on the switch. You will spend hours collecting everything.

This is another great Monster Hunter game. If you've played one before you know the drill: hunt monsters, upgrade your gear, hunt stronger monsters, get even better gear and repeat. Lots of fun!

Before Monster Hunter World & Rise popularized the franchise, there was this version of Monster Hunter in which many OG fans are familiar with. For veterans alike, this is such a nostalgic trip that you'd want to experience all over again. If you started with World or Rise, you will find this game to be much more difficult, a bit more janky, and a bit less polished (missing some quality of life features World and Rise offered). Graphics may not look as beautiful as the newer games, but they are sharp, crisp, and vibrant on the Switch. Controls aren't as easy or well-defined as World & Rise, but it's no where near unplayable. It is more difficult and requires a bit more precision, but this is how it's always been since the beginning. The satisfaction comes from executing with precision and timing. You also have to understand that these games originated from PS2, PSP and the 3DS eras, so it's come a long long way. However, that should not deter you from playing this game. If you thirst for more Monster Hunter and love a challenge, MH Generations Ultimate should scratch that itch. You will appreciate how much has changed between Generations Ultimate and its transition into World & Rise. Generations Ultimate packs the best content from all of the iterations before it into this game and adds more; truly living up to the "Ultimate" name. I don't see Capcom planning to make newer iterations of this older version of Monster Hunter, so this is probably the best version to play at this current time. If you're a diehard fan, just do yourself a favor and buy this game, whether it'd be at retail price or at a discount, it's worth it. Happy Hunting!

There's a lot of content in this game, but it starts to feel repetitive having to battle the same beasts multiple times to create gear. Plenty of different monsters to fight and weapons to wield. Controls and physics feel a bit clunky and unnatural, but they're manageable once the "rules" of the game are understood.

Maybe not as pretty and flashy as Monster Hunter World (because it's a remastered port of a 3DS game), Generations Ultimate offers FAR more content than World in terms of sheer content. There are more monsters to hunt, which is the hook of the game to begin with, but if you're coming to MonHunGenUlt from MonHunWorld it's best to set your expectations accordingly. It's not as streamlined or user friendly and the first 10 hours or so does take a lot of getting used to, but it really is the perfect game to play on the go. It performs great, the community is active, and for the current price ($30 as of the time of this review) you can easily squeeze HUNDREDS of hours out of it.

This game has an order of magnitude more to do than MH:W. It may lack some of the new features but the game or than makes up for it with variety, polish, and an avalanche of ways to challenge your hunter abilities. The portability makes it a.lot more accessible, too, and the graphics and frame rate hold up well when undocked. If you're u have any interest in monster Hunter then playing this is a no-brainer.

I bought this game because I love Monster Hunter world so much, and I wanted a monster hunter game that I could take on the go with me. This game mostly fills that need for me. It is missing many of the quality of life improvements that world provides, but I would argue that this provides more challenge and variance between enemies. The hardest part of this game was learning how it works in comparison to world. Do yourself a favor and play through the learning curve, and you'll be rewarded.

Super fun game and tons of content within it! You have to give it a try!
