Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate Reviews
In a way it feels like a send off, of the old Monster Hunter before we get a true version built for the Switch - from the ground up.
Not quite the ultimate Monster Hunter experience, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is nonetheless accomplished enough on its own merits for Monster Hunter fans to give it an earnest go.
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate builds upon the already comprehensive celebration of the Monster Hunter franchise that was established in the original Generations. There is heaps to do here regardless of whether you've played before, and the sheer volume of content on offer here is staggering. Yes, it's slightly less easy to pick up and play than Monster Hunter World, but what Generations Ultimate lacks in polish and pizazz it makes up for with unbridled depth and longevity.
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate builds up on what the 3DS original brought and delivers what is the ultimate Monster Hunter game, this time on the Nintendo Switch. Thanks to its enormous wealth of content, featuring more monsters, weapons and gear than ever before, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate will be thoroughly enjoyed by both longtime players and newcomers to this series.

A pretty good version of a great 3DS game. Monster Hunter to take with you anywhere you want.

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is not the game you were expecing and that's okay. It is a painfully restrictive and tough title that punishes you for every single mistake you make - which is not exactly what Monster Hunter World does. However it is also an amazingly rewarding game which will make your heart beat twice as fast everytime that you will land a successful hit on a G rank Rathalos. Best enjoyed with friends, this is the game you want to get to the next level of hunting.

At its core, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is an absolutely fantastic game that excels when you take your hunts online. Despite being thoroughly impressed with how Capcom handled Monster Hunter: World, that didn't dampen my experience with Ultimate at all.
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate takes players back to the origins of the famed series, and it looks and plays great on the Nintendo Switch, even if it's still a major step backwards from Monster Hunter World.
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate earns the "Ultimate" in its moniker with visual and gameplay improvements as well as a wealth of additional content compared to its original counterpart on the 3DS.
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is a great opportunity to immerse yourself in the dangerous world of hunting with a mountains of content and the ability to play not only at home but also on the road. If you've already finished with Monster Hunter World and want more, then Generations Ultimate will be a great purchase.

As usual, MHG Ultimate is more than a remastered Monster Hunter Generations. It is a production that, although it is too much of Nintendo 3DS, is ideal for fans. Compared with MH World, you feel a step behind. But, on the other hand, many fans will appreciate and understand this return as an increase in the hours of fun and hard challenge, with a roster of extras and attractive additions.

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.
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 fun and satisfying addition to the Switch's ever-growing library of games.
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate for some player might be the right game at the wrong time. Rich in content but arrived in Europe after the great revamp of Monster Hunter World, the game brutally comes back to origins, offering in return a truly exemplary longevity.

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 Monster Hunter.
Did Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate live up to my expectations? Yes, yes it did.
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is like my old 300ZX from years past. It’s not as comfortable or as fast as newer sports cars. But boy did I have fun driving that thing. Let’s just hope that Monster Hunter World or its successor incorporates the fun parts from MHGU, whether it be stuff like hunting styles or being able to play as a cat. Like its flagship monster, if this is the last hurrah for the previous monster hunter generation, it’s certainly going out with a jet-powered bang.
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is one of the best entries in the series and well worth playing for fans. Players new to Monster Hunter might find it difficult to get along with at first, but stick with it and you'll find an engrossing, valuable hunting experience.
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is not so easy to pick for new players, but extremely rewarding once you get into it. Technically speaking, its style feels too old for the new generation console: the Nintendo side of the Capcom saga needs, more than ever, a new, fresh beginning.
