    There’s a lot to do, with quests and hunts coming thick and fast, as it once again strongly incentivises you to get fresh air – since it doesn’t work either indoors or in a moving car. While early days, indicators are that this could have the longevity recent Niantic games have lacked.

    Any player that is either a longtime fan or looking to dip their toes in for the first time should consider giving this a chance, but a real thorough one, which means getting out there to experience all that it truly has to offer, especially for those who truly enjoyed the style of play of Pokémon GO.

    Monster Hunter Now could grow into a true successor and companion to Pokémon Go, but only if Niantic listen to their audience make rapid improvements to the game. Smoothing out the difficulty curve and server issues could elevate the game, but the gameplay loop of buying Gems for Potions just to get through a day's play is quickly becoming obnoxious.

    The skeleton of a solid MonHun mobile game is here. Now looks great, has a slick battle system tuned for a smartphone, and even includes some very clever quality-of-life features, like paintballs that let you mark monsters in the field so you can battle them later from home. There’s a lot of room to grow — and considering the way Pokémon Go added key features years after launch, Monster Hunter Now could follow a similar trajectory if it’s successful.
