    Once you get past its daunting and archaic systems, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate continuously challenges you with the most thrilling gameplay and rewarding loop few games can match. Meanwhile, veterans will also feel at home - ‘G rank’ awaits you!

    Monster Hunter arrives on Nintendo Switch with an installment practically unsurpassed. Perhaps we miss more changes or a more remarkable graphic face washing, but it's undeniable that hunting, in the old fashioned way, is better than ever.

    Challenging, profound, literally monstrous from every point of view: Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate opens a new hunting season on Nintendo Switch.

    The Switch version comes to the West with more content than the original with a discreet but effective adaptation.

    When you add all of the sensibilities of the Nintendo Switch to the mix, you’ve got yourself a robust little JRPG to sink your teeth into.

    Quickly speaking, the game is very good even if it needs a bit of patience due to a slow start. The game brings a true sensation of hunting and all the satisfaction involved after learning it's ropes. Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, unfortunately, also brings dated graphics and long loading times.

    Generations Ultimate is a greatest-hits collection that doesn’t go out of the way to re-contextualize why the hits are so great in the first place. While it still provides the thrills that made Monster Hunter huge, it’s hard to argue the series isn’t ready for something else.

    Quite possibly THE best Monster Hunter to date which is a major step up from World both in challenge and longevity. While World's agenda wasQuite possibly THE best Monster Hunter to date which is a major step up from World both in challenge and longevity. While World's agenda was to introduce Monster Hunter to newer players, GU's agenda is punch them in the face and say "you don't know jack" and really treat players both new and old to a revitalizing experience that promises difficulty right out of the gates. While many players who have just came over from World are going to wonder why things are so different, it's because the training wheels are off and you're going to be playing Monster Hunter at it's finest. No glowflies, no running and chugging; every move you make will matter. So saddle up because Generations Ultimate is in town and it's taking no prisoners… Expand

    Yet one of the best games I have ever played. I'm very picky in general and this game really got my attention. I'm giving 1000 out of 1000.

    I’m not exaggerating when I say to date this is still my absolute favourite entry in the entire MH universe. Don’t get me wrong, I love MHWI’m not exaggerating when I say to date this is still my absolute favourite entry in the entire MH universe. Don’t get me wrong, I love MHW but there has always been something about the old style that just keeps dragging me back.

    I will admit that if you come from World it could be jarring, the ol flex heals and loading between areas BUT it’s an endearing quality of the old games and something that sits with me after the 15 years or so I’ve been playing.

    The art system is amazing as well.if you haven’t given it a run, please do so. It’s worth trying, even if it only solidifies your stance on world.    … Expand

    If you're looking for a title on Nintendo switch that you can easily invest dozens of hours into fighting epic monsters in the this seriesIf you're looking for a title on Nintendo switch that you can easily invest dozens of hours into fighting epic monsters in the this series version of a love note to its fans before World, then i cant recommend this game enough to you. Only thing that brought the score down for me was there was confusion with the armor and weapon leveling system. To a point o felt like I wasnt making progress.… Expand

    首先吧，作为世界入坑的新人玩gu确实觉得各种系统细节都很麻烦，不只是老生常谈的换区或者动作僵硬，从技能点机制，装备页面的系统，到素材收纳、任务接取都感觉到各种不舒适。但是一旦玩进去就上瘾了，除了怪物装备全家桶以外，实际上很多地方的限制也增加了游戏性，技能点不够就只能抠门的算，装备五花首先吧，作为世界入坑的新人玩gu确实觉得各种系统细节都很麻烦，不只是老生常谈的换区或者动作僵硬，从技能点机制，装备页面的系统，到素材收纳、任务接取都感觉到各种不舒适。但是一旦玩进去就上瘾了，除了怪物装备全家桶以外，实际上很多地方的限制也增加了游戏性，技能点不够就只能抠门的算，装备五花八门不看攻略怎么选好自己的装备，打不过怪要怎么利用道具。世界毕业大部分无脑黑龙套确实少了点意思（当然这点在黑龙前应该不是问题）道具利用在世界也是淡化了的。
