I gotta be honest, when I first tried the series, I was frustrated by hit. I remember trying to be up a Great Maccao, and being really frustrated by the janky controls, the weird slow methodical approach the game required, and the fact that every monster felt faster and more menacing than you (I guess I was just a silly dumb idiot...)

THen I kept playing... and sweating... and trying to get used to all of it.... then I beaten the Great Maccao, and kept playing... and playing, and playing....

Now Monster Hunter is one of my favorite series. The amount of addictive fights I had with this title alone is outstanding and lets you come back over and over again. Over 90 amazingly designed creatures not only make this game almost infinite, but also a sort of celebration to the history of the franchise up to that point.

It is a series that is hard to get into it, but when you join the ranks and experience the thrill of the hunt, either alone or togheter with others, there is no escape.

Monster Hunter is peak. Highly recommended.
