    The best way i can describe this game is "average".
    This spin-off game is supposed to be a celebrations of the MonsterHunter series, so it will contain a lot of popular references to past games that won't be fully appreciated by new players.
    There are a lot more monsters to fight, both older fan favorites and new ones, more gear to craft and plenty of quests to complete. There is A LOT

    There are a lot more monsters to fight, both older fan favorites and new ones, more gear to craft and plenty of quests to complete. There is A LOT of text to read so it can be obnoxious to go through.
    The newest feature are the hunting styles and arts that let you customize your hunting experience, although in my experience it can sometimes trivialize the game and make it a lot less challenging than past games.
    Another new addition to the game are Deviant Monsters that are basically more difficult versions of some species of monsters and offer unique equipment to craft.
    The graphics are definitely no the best, even compared to older 3DS titles, so don't expect to be visually impressed.

    If you are a big fan of the series i would recommend you give it a try, but if you are a new comer to the series, I recommend to skip this game.

    One of the best MH games. They played with new mechanics that can be hit or miss even for veterans. But watch youtubers, get a MH babysitter, and one you get it you'll love it. I had to babysit my husband and now he's just as excited about new releases as I am.

    An amazing step in the monster Hunter franchise, taking everything already established, and adding alot more. With literal thousands of combinations, no two hunts are the same. It's a must play.

Its more action with minimal RPG elements. I liked upgrading my equipment and stuff but to even kill another monster after your first (Which takes significant time for a first boss on its own) requires a lot of grinding and is pretty difficult. Fighting the monsters themselves is a slog and you have to hit, hit, hit, throw a paintball to track it and try and follow it as quickly as possible when it inevitably runs into the other area. The game is incredibly difficult and needlessly time consuming. I've noticed this game is very highly rated everywhere I looked which makes me think it serves it's niche well but the learning curve is just way too high. I still occasionally pop in the game to give it another shot or try and get something out of it but it turns out to be a waste of time

    It has non existent story and the mechanics are not explained very well. There are multiple locations you can get quests from but these are basically just cosmetic as you can access the same quests anywhere and all locations have a blacksmith, a vendor, a home for you and a palico shop and nothing unique to that area

    MHG is obviously a spinoff game. It contains too many monsters, quests and weapons for it's own good. The game can feel overbearing at times with so much to do with little incentive besides for fans of the series who just want to hunt.

A way I thought about this game was that each quest was a story, I would always read the quest description and try and think how the events described there happened without the client losing their lives in the process. All in all I loved this game but for newcomers to MH I would recommend Monster Hunter World or Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. Expand

    Pros:
    Nice graphics. Interesting weapons. Multiple control schemes (styles).
    Cons: The controls feel unresponsive. Some of the weapons have very long attack animations and it doesn't make sense to be unable to cancel such an attack after it has started. And to compensate for the bad control scheme most monsters spend most of their time flailing around without any purpose and screaming

    The controls feel unresponsive. Some of the weapons have very long attack animations and it doesn't make sense to be unable to cancel such an attack after it has started. And to compensate for the bad control scheme most monsters spend most of their time flailing around without any purpose and screaming in order to give you time to position yourself for a proper attack. The fights just feel fake and staged most of the time.

    The game doesn't explain a lot of things to you. If this is supposed to increase immersion then it fails miserably when you have to leave the game and look up where you can find that material that you've never heard of before. There is no reason not to have some markers and more helpful quest descriptions like a bunch of other way more immersive games like the Elder Scroll series etc have.

    The world looks really nice at first but then you see all the invisible walls which make it feel more like an arena for fighting and not something that you enjoy exploring to find stuff.

    I tried local multiplayer with a friend and it did not affect any of the above.

    All in all, this is the greatest waste of potential I've seen in the 3DS. I really don't even understand how people enjoy this sluggish grindy thing but each to his own taste I guess.

    My favourite MH handheld entry. So many quests and events, a great choice of towns and environments, great crafting system and palico management. Everything that I wanted out of a Monster Hunter. Takes a while to get used to the controls, but once you find your weapon, you're going to have a great time. Highly recommended for fans of the series.

    A great addition to the series! As a veteran player, I was expecting a slight upgrade from 4U, and that is basically what this is. Obviously I did not get nearly the playtime I did out of 4U, but cross introduces some new refreshing mechanics that I believe enhance gameplay and make things feel more fluid. I just wish there was village high rank and G rank ... hyper monsters are fun though.

    So far, every addition to the MH series gets 10/10 for me. MH series is always the reason I buy any platforms (Wii, WiiU, Multiple 3DS XLs for siblings, Nintendo Switch, PC). The series as a whole is always continuing forward, and I can feel that the devs poured a lot of effort in making each one of the entry in the series.

    Thank you, Capcom.

    Monster Hunter Generations is EXACTLY what I hoped it would be. It is a culmination of all of the previous games with the largest pool of content to date. The only con I can think of is that the graphics don't seem as great as MH4U or MH3U.

    MH4U is one of my favorite games of all time, the sheer amount of content and game-play available is staggering. MHGen is a flashier MH4U, while it lacks G rank and some of the early fetch/gathering quests hurts it a little bit, it ends up being more of what I love about Monster Hunter.

    I love the extra particle effects and the hunting styles adds more depth to the weapons, I personally prefer Monster Hunter Generations over MH4U but I can understand why some prefer MH4U, the frame rate is locked at 30fps while this is not an issue with me some are not too pleased.
    MHGen is an incredible game with an incredible amount of content, it is hard to say which is the better game when compared to MH4U but MHGen is worth trying that's for sure.

There are hundreds of hours of game play to be enjoyed here. This game is very well executed and such a treat for anyone willing to put the time into truly learning the fundamentals of the game. It could be a gripe that some systems are overly complex as they keep adding layers over the years and there are almost too many ways to access the same functionality. But lets be realistic, no game is ever perfect for everyone. I personally find the complexity fun and rewarding to explore.

    You can play this game in so many ways. If you are relaxed you can just collect items and learn new weapons. If you want to be alone you can play solo. If you want to play multiplayer and go all out and fight the biggest monster, have at it.

    This game should also be noticed for its amazing AI and monster behavior. This version of Monster Hunter also takes creative risks, which is rare these days. The addition of playing as a cat is amazingly ridiculous, but awesomely fun.

    If I had to be critical, the only negative things I have to say about this game is that it is mostly devoid of story relative to other Monster Hunter games and some of the levels from other Monster Hunters were better in the other games. I guess I also don't understand what going to other towns really gets you in this game, it could be just one and would be the same. But its classic Monster Hunter awesomeness and as always very rewarding to play with your friends over and over.

This game is a crossover between the other series with adds on gameplay, that now have 4 styles and new hunter arts; You can play as a palico, there is a awesome content from all previous MH games plus more new monsters, that now fit the four elements of series: water = Mizutsune, fire = Glavenus, thunder = Astalos and ice = Gammoth.

    The gameplay as said before, has now 4 styles that improve experience on every way. From now, I've used only 3 Weapons and 1 of the 4 hunter Styles and I fell like I can do a lot more on the game if I want; the liberty to change is incredible and every weapon, style, hunter art, have a huge impact on your playstyle and consequentially on hunts. Other add is the possibility of playing as a palico (prowler) a funny experience.

    If you're looking for graphics that's not you game, the graphs are stuck as last releases appearance, not many chances here, but this game is a crossover of the series so I've not downgraded my score because of it.

    MhGen is most about gameplay, as a crossover, there is not many history, the history, the other series have more to offer on history itself but overall MH is more oriented on hunt than history. Because of format of the game I've not dowgraded my final score.

    The soundtrack uses elements of previous ones and are nicely engaging and turns battles addictive, some monsters have they own sountracks battle themes, I recommend to buyer beating Amatsu and relate the experience, the soundtrack fit awesomely.

    The DLC quest and Multiplayer are fun and rewarding, hunt online make a whole new experience and it's a must if you buy this game. The community on reedit and gamefaqs have all nice players, the whole MH community is cool and not toxic, one of the reason I love the series. DLC armors are good and pretty, bad thing that transmog isn't avaliable, so you can't use the visual you love the most.

    Graphic = 8/10
    Story = 6/10
    Soundtrack = 10/10
    Gameplay = 11/10
    Community = 9/10

    Total Score 10, It's a masterpiece. If you're veteran you can stick to MHGen to try the new gameplay changes, otherwise you can stick with the other titles with no problem, the experiênce is almost the same.

    Monster hunter is a series that does not give two sh*ts about your skill level. It is long, hard, frustrating, and at times, unfair. And that's this game's selling point, aside from the massive number of armor and weapons to craft from the massive number of tough-ass monsters you can hunt.

    Though this game in particular is somewhat lacking, there is an upcoming expansion to add at least another 100 hours of gameplay. These games have consumed hundreds of my free hours, and sevenfold of that ammount in my tears of rage from sucking so hard at it.

    Generations adds new Hunter Styles, Arts, improved/additional skills and a mix of some of the best Monsters of all time to create one of the best games in the Monster Hunter series yet!

    Ever since the original games, every weapon has had relatively the same style of fighting. However with the new “Art Styles”, combat sees some new, dynamic play-styles. Aerial style, much like the bug staff, allows you to launch on top of monsters and topple them with ease. Striker is focused on all-out attacking and faster charging of Arts and Adept is all about swift evades and devastating counterattacks. Of course there’s still the old standard “Guild” style which is the only one that doesn’t augment your moves in favor of new mechanics. Each new style, for any weapon, was a bit hard to learn but once you settled into it, the combat felt refreshed. The option to fluidly swap styles between fights was important, allowing you to change up your technique vs different monsters. Some monsters telegraph their moves often, opening them up to counter-attack opportunities while others are big, stationary brutes, making it much more efficient to attack aerially.

    Alongside the new Styles are Hunter Arts, which are basically super-moves based off your weapon choice. As an example, the Long Sword has a move called Sakura Slash which after a short jump back, your character will unleash two sweeping slashes and upon hitting the monster, will raise your spirit gauge one level and unleash a series of after-image cuts like an early Japanese anime. Unfortunately, there’s not all that much diversity in the Hunter Arts with only about 3 different moves but it’s a step in the right direction. Maybe in the next entry…

    Armor and weapon skills saw a huge upgrade as well, giving even more depth to the play-styles with completely new combinations. As an Aerial Long Sword player, I would sometime use a combination of Mounting, Evasion and the new skill Vault so that I could topple monsters faster, position myself better with evades and deal more damage while going for the dunk. They even added “Village Skills” which were a combination of things like “Ice Resist + Sharpener” or “Fire Resist + Gluttony”. It made experimenting with different styles and skills all the more fun.

    I could go on for days on how the styles and Arts has changed up the combat but I feel like the lineup of boss monsters needs to get some solid praise as well. Generations brings in all of the staple classics like the Zinogre, Rathian, Rathalos and Tigrex; but it also adds new awesome fights like the new “starting” monster, the Great Maccao which is a jumping raptor similar to the Velocidrome. There’s also the games flagmonster-hunter-picship monster, the Glavenus, which I can only explain as a more rampagey Deviljho with a razor-sharp blade for a tail that it ignites just so it can set you on fire to add insult to injury. Oh also, it also enjoys whipping it’s flaming tail around to send huge waves of flames directly at you. It’s an intense, but fun fight. On top of that, certain classic monsters like the Lagiacrus from 3U have gained new moves and patterns, making the fights you might’ve remember completely fresh. There are so many Elder Dragons in the late game it’s unreal. I don’t want to give any surprises away but just know that your time is well rewarded if you can make it up to the higher ranked fights with some of these beasts.

    Capcom really did listen to their player community again by trying to implement some more Quality of Life improvements, like being able to cook multiple meats at the town rather than the horribly painful process of previous games where you would have to cook one at a time out in the field. Oh my god, it was painful and I never want to go back. However, on the other side, with so many different systems to manage between quests, I still noticed that familiar mini-game fatigue. Between, running a farm, maintaining a Palico Army, grindy quests and regular village upkeep, it became much-more tedious than it should’ve been.

    Overall: 8/10
    + Diverse New Monsters/Tons of Old Favorites/Revamped AI
    + New Arts and Skills Keep the Combat Fresh
    + Palico Hunter
    + Quality of Life Improvements
    + Multiplayer!!!
    - Slow Start

While I do like the fact that the story starts with a little better pacing than the last game, with all of the tiny, wingless wyverns and such as early punching bags to prepare you for the giant monstrosities that come later, the pacing gets a little weirder later on when certain monsters that weren't really seen as a big deal in earlier games suddenly get built up as some sort of grand ordeal like that of the legendary dragons in MH4U.

    I also have mixed feelings about the overhauled combat. The hunter arts rock, no question about it. However, some arts clearly got the short end of the stick. It's fantastic that some styles can have 2 special moves bound to them, but the tiles for the touch screen can fit one or three arts, resulting it an open slot taking up space should you chose the three-ability tile.

    These are fairly trivial matters, though, and I'll probably end up losing few hundred hours of my life to this game regardless. Good stuff.

    Greatly overrated. Monster hunter is only good if you are a kid with tons of free time and have a close circle of friends to play multiplayer with. Otherwise, there is nothing of value here.

    As a single player experience, this is a boring grind with no story. There is no real challenge, you don't need to be smart to win, just have a lot of time in your hands to grind and gather stuff.

The arts make every weapon have a different way of playing. In MH4U I really only used the insect glave. I wanted to use the hammer but found it clunky. Now, I am rocking the hammer because the styles (and some arts that make you mobile) allow me to play the way I like to play. I am having fun trying out each weapon on the varied lineup of monsters. I never really used the lance, gunlance and hammer. Now I am really enjoying these. But like with MH4U (the only other MH I played), the game takes time to learn and a few hours to get to the actually big game hunting. Fetch quests in the begining are just tutorial like quests. Get to at least HR 3 and you will have fun. Great game and worth the money. Enjoy! Expand

    Pero quitando a un lado el single player este juego es muy divertido, amo como mejoraron a los Palicos (los gatos) hacerles armadura y el juego de ir a cazar son mucho más fáciles y divertidos que los del MH4u , además que uno pueda por primera vez en la serie jugar con ellos le agrega algo especial!

    También como mejoraron la manera de mejorar (upgrade) las armas lo mejoro mucho! ahora las armas malas de hueso o metal puede llegar a late game mejorándolas! muy buen sistema. Pero lo mejor del juego es haberle metido estilos y artes al sistema de batalla (el gamplay es el mejor de todos los monster Hunter) ahora las armas pueden ser únicas dependiendo el estilo que uses (GUILD; AREO; STRIKER; ADEPT) lo cual lo hace más divertido poder variar mucho más e ir descubriendo cada combinación.

    Además un dato es que mejoraron muchooo como se mejora la Insect Glaive, en el 4 era horrible aquí está muy bien!

    Mucha gente lo que quedo descontento es que quitaron el G rank, el juego se siente mas sencillo y fácil que el anterior además que quitaron las Guild Quest que era lo más difícil y retador del juego. (no entiendo porque quitaron eso :( )

    Otra cosa que no entiendo porque quitaron fue los espacio para registrar items en la caja para salir a misiones ahora solo hay 10 espacio de lso 30 del 4u, algunos cambios pequeños no entiendo porque los quitaron, como moverse por el mapa con el d-pad y no solo con el tactil entre otros pequeños detalles muy raro que quitaran. (Que ya habían hecho bien en el 4U)

    El caso es que por la jugabilidad me gusta jugar más este que el 4u aunk tristemente este es mas fácil y los videos son muy mediocres. Espero que el próximo tenga G rank y Guild QUests pero no quiten el gameplay de este y regresen esos detalles del 4u q lo hacían especial.

    De graficas este mejoro mucho que el 4u es todo lo que es partículas y menús.

    El juego continua con la formula que hace grande esta saga, pero mejora los aspectos gráficos, y agrega nuevos monstruos e items, ye lo he jugado mas de 30 horas, y simplemente sigue siendo desafiante y divertido

    Hunter arts ruined this anniversary game hopefully it doesn't come back in 5. Game was always about simple dodges with unforgiving iframes and simple attacks you need to time and position for. Now is dynasty warriors mode where you get evade +2 just for going adept style and everyone else just flies all over the place with aerial style. 3U > 4U > G. Still a good game though

    Whilst a near perfect Monster Hunter in my eyes. If it contained better quality of life implementations to reduce the plethora of loading screens and responding to quests (which could be done in a single menu/mail system). This could be an easy ten, otherwise I’m shaking in anticipation for generation five, the Hollywood movie currently in production, Double Cross and Monster Hunter Stories coming to the west (hopefully).

    Generations is a sort of a greatest hits compilation that will benefit newcomers the most. [10/2016, p.70]

    It’s a shame Monster Hunter is imprisoned within the confines of the 3DS, especially for a game as good as Generations is. If Capcom wanted a more widespread audience for Monster Hunter in the west, they should definitely release it on Steam. [Sept 2016]
