Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate

Although Monster Hunter Generations isn't exactly the sort of series evolution that Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate was, it's still the most interesting Monster Hunter to date. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate might just edge out Generations for newer players with its engaging single-player story - but even then, Monster Hunter Generations is a game that you absolutely do not want to miss.

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate may lack the smoothness and accessibility that made Monster Hunter: World such a smash hit, but it more than makes up for it by being a sort of ‘greatest hits’ collection of the high points of the series, giving you hundreds of hours of content to play through. Couple this with the HD visuals, easy to use multiplayer, and the ability to play the full experience ...

The Monster Hunter franchise debut on the Switch is nothing short of phenomenal.  Significant visual upgrades made possible by the more powerful console accompanied by a slew of gameplay additions make this a must-own for Monster Hunter fans.

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is a game that is sure to please hardcore Monster Hunter fans, and will likely bring many new fans into the hardcore fold now that they have gotten a taste via Monster Hunter: World. While the graphics are strictly handheld-level, in the heat of battle you simply will not care. Players should be ready to plumb the depths of much more complicated crafting and mat...

Monster Hunter is no longer a niche franchise. Handheld fans have been enjoying more and more games and there's been a steady increase in popularity for years, but the mainstream breakthrough we saw from Monster Hunter World was entirely unprecedented. It’s for exactly that reason, why you can feel comfortable categorising the kinds of players that will be looking into Monster Hunter Generations U...

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate brings the majority of the series’ monsters into one package for a lengthy and exciting hunting extravaganza. While it feels dated in some ways post-Monster Hunter: World, it’s a great farewell tour for the old style of the franchise. If you can stomach the pacing problems and obtuse menu systems, it’s a worthwhile and challenging trek through the history of Mon...

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

I am a self-proclaimed Monster Hunter noob. My first foray into the series began with Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on the 3DS, which I promptly dropped after hours of clunky gameplay, but I dived right back in with this year’s Monster Hunter: World and fell in love with the endless grind. While I did skip out on Generations when it first released for 3DS, my experience with World encouraged me to che...

All in all, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate brings some neat new features and monsters to the table, but at the same time it doesn’t do anything to truly alter the way you experience the Monster Hunter Franchise. The game works very well as a love letter to all of the games that came before it. Because of this, fans of the franchise will eat up everything the game has to offer. When you add al...

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate ties up the entirety of the series’ history prior to World in spectacular style, and emphasises why the game has worked so well as a handheld title for all these years. While it leans heavily on the past heritage of the series, here’s hoping that there’s a place for further similar titles in Monster Hunter’s future.

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is a must buy for established fans looking for their Nintendo Switch port, but is a far cry from the series' recent peak. Those who have tried the game and couldn't catch the bug likely won't be swayed by this version. Instead, people who have dived in and fallen in love with the franchise within the year now have a definitive way to play one of the greatest han...
