Monster Hunter Generations Reviews
The best Monster Hunter yet, with some useful improvements in terms of combat variety and accessibility for new players – even if it still falls short of the series’ full potential.
Monster Hunter Generations hits the core tenets of what makes this series great. Great gear drives the lust for the hunt even on the small scale, but the big, spectacular fights ultimately matter the most. Generations’ tweaked combat adds just the right tools to make slaying epic boss monsters a fun activity that’s just as fun online or off. Playable companions help shake up the gathering game without taking away resources, and its fun to play as a wackier character. Generations only falters during slower moments spent on fetch quests and in wrangling through menus before the hunt.
In all, the game feels like it is the developers testing the waters of ideas, but they pulled from their older games to give something to the long time players of the series.
A great addition to the Monster Hunter franchise, and something fans of the series will definitely be pleased with while opening the door for handheld players and newcomers.
With the reuse of multiple locales and enemy monsters, I was hoping for a bit more variety in this game, but in the end, it still all adds up to a really enjoyable time for both veterans as well as newcomers.
Monster Hunter Generations is a great action-RPG for longstanding fans and newcomers who want a challenge like nothing they’ve played before.
Generations is a step toward Monster Hunter's future
Monster Hunter Generations is another improvement on a franchise that makes for a solid portable experience.
Monster Hunter Generations feels like an expansion to 4 rather than a new game - but the new features, Deviant system and selection of new and old monsters makes the hunt worthwhile.
Hundreds of hours of entertainment with a compelling hunting and upgrading loop
So far, there are no news yet whether or not it will be ported over to the WiiU or to other consoles but the game is already doing well where it’s at right now. Again, MHGen is a good introductory game since Monster Hunter isn’t really a lore-heavy game. If you are into action and you love hunting, Monster Hunter Generations is absolutely worth to pick-up.
Monster Hunter Generations remains an experience that excites most in the thrill of the chase, wrestling with once proud beasts as you bring them to their knees. It presents an adventure of a lifetime, and continued evolution of the core idea results in an experience that rewards at every turn.
Monster Hunter Generations kombiniert das beste aus der Serie mit netten und teilweise flauschigen Neuerungen, schafft es aber immer noch einen wirklich angenehmen Start für Neulinge zu bieten und unterliegt den Limitierungen durch den 3DS. Monster Hunter Veteranen können hier ohne Bedenken zugreifen und trotz schlechter Tutorials, bietet Generations immer noch einen der besten Einstiege in die Serie.

At first 'Monster Hunter Generations' seems like a rehash of past games, but some play time will show that it is one of the most innovative in the series. The sheer amount of experimentation, adventures, and general fun to be had with this game is boundless.
Monster Hunter Generations is the perfect entry for newcomers and offers plenty of fun for veterans of the series.
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.
If you’re up for a challenge, MH Generations is an incredibly rewarding and satisfying experience.
If you’re a fan of the Monster Hunter franchise, it goes without saying that you should be playing Generations. If you’re new to it, this is a great place to start that offers plenty of variety and a ton of in-game help and optional tutorials to help you find the right fit.
Monster Hunter Generations is another must-have for fans of the franchise, blending the old with the new for an excellent overall package. Hunter Styles add a little extra intensity and tempo to combat while this game also tries to welcome newcomers with optional tutorials, with Prowler mode undoubtedly designed to be quirky and alluring to players of all kinds. It does some things better than its immediate predecessor - Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate - but also a couple of things a little less impressively. The nod to nostalgia brings a lot of locations and quests to keep players busy, but loses a little of the narrative edge and focus of its predecessor.Generations, overall, is the match of its predecessors that also boasts some innovations and improvements. This franchise is yet to reach near-perfection (total perfection is impossible, of course), but it's still one of the most enjoyable and immersive time-sinks to be found on Nintendo hardware. For any gamer ready for a long-term challenge, with tough battles and plenty of complexity to master, this is most certainly worth hunting down.
