in the past


This is the best game in the franchise by a large margin. It fights for the top spot of "my favorite game of all time".

Back in 2018, when Monster Hunter: World (MHW) was launched, I discovered the series and was amazed by the gameplay and customization of builds. I loved that every piece of gear changed the appearance of the character. I had always wanted a game that integrated this type of development in customization but had never heard about this game before. My first thought was to search for ways to play MHW, and that’s when I found out about the series. I picked up my PSP that was lying around, and this was the start of my love for Monster Hunter. Since then, it has become my favorite game series of all time.

This game will beat you up, dumpster you, disrespect you, yet it would bring out the best out of you.

And when you are on your best, the game decides, "nah", and then it beats you up, dumpsters you, disrespects you and even nails the coffin conveniently for you.

Jank and clunk made out and decided to have their first offspring with Monster Hunter in 2004. Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is Monster Hunter's grandson, teaching you the ways of a hunter.

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite teaches you that there is fun in inconvenience, and requires you to grasp even an inch of its system to enjoy it somewhat.

This game would not stand on modern-industry standards, and yet, here I am, glad that I've experienced and enjoyed such a monstrous force of nature of a video game.

Jogava muito na infância e na época a gameplay era muito gostosa mesmo com a hit box bugada, além dos diversos monstros que só existem nesse jogo

My favorite childhood game. Made me a life-long fan of the series. These days, I wouldn't recommend this to newcomers so consider this review a highly subjective one that's rooted in my nostalgia for this game.


Mi primer juego de esta saga y para mí el mejor de todos sin duda

This game hurt me physically (thx clumsy claw handling) and mentally (thx Khezu's hitbox) and I wouldn't trade it for anything

The problem I have with freedom unit is that I wished I was playing DOS for most of my playtime . I understand all the changes it makes , its made for small playtimes , but I just prefer when a game is designed with that from the ground up instead of having to retrofit it all .

It's a game where you have to hunt for the lootboxes for hours on end to not get the materials you need. There's a lot of jank in this game, but that also gives it a lot of character. If you like the gameplay of Monster Hunter, or Soulsborne games, I recommend this game.

Perfeito nenhum defeito as hitbox bugadas são features melhore

Quando joguei pela primeira vez, já fui jogar com uma mentalidade de que o jogo era meio chato, principalmente por ser diferente de tudo o que eu joguei e isso ficou na minha cabeça, foi o que me influenciou a dar uma primeira nota negativa a esse jogo. Mas agora, jogando pela segunda vez, com a mente limpa, consegui perceber o quanto esse jogo é divertido (e também bem desafiador, achei um pouco difícil), os combates são muito gostosinhos e a maioria das missões são legais.

The hardest monster hunter game. For me monster hunter is about learning and mastering each hunt, and this one requires that the most from the player. Yes items are as strong as they've ever been (no resistance gain to things like flash bombs) but the difficulty of some of these fights almost warrants it. Really solid game, with just the right ammount of insanely particular jank.

"Monster Hunter Freedom Unite" stands as the pinnacle of the Monster Hunter series during its time, although it was eventually surpassed by "MH4U." It was truly ahead of its time, offering a vast amount of content to explore and enjoy. The game provided countless hours of gameplay, with an abundance of monsters to hunt and quests to complete.

However, the control scheme, particularly on the PSP, could be a bit janky at times. The lack of a second analog stick made long play sessions tiring, as players had to rely on the PSP's cumbersome controls. Despite this drawback, "Monster Hunter Freedom Unite" remains a nostalgic and enjoyable experience, especially for those looking to revisit the roots of the Monster Hunter series. If you're craving a dose of old-school Monster Hunter action, this game comes highly recommended.

This is the only monster hunter I can respect, as it is obtusely attempting to be as insanely disfunctional as possible.
There is no bait about if this is or isn't a timesink, this is a timesink, this is going to suck the hours out of your life, and it states it's intent from the very beggining.
Also the cats can throw bombs at you and fuck you up whenever they please, and you can't desactivate it. It's the worst companion in the history of videogames and I love 'em.

My favorite PSP game to date. Insane amounts of content and some dated but very fun gameplay.

Greatness overall. Still crunchy in some aspects. Childhood game.

2 PSP tuve y en las 2 solo podia jugar a esto.

Okula gitmeyip MHFU oynamak
istiyorum. Gunaydin.

This is a very good, but broken game. It has almost everything I love about the franchise, but probably one of the worst gameplay ever. I had no fun playing alone or with somebody. I had no fun with short ranged weapons. And I definitely had no fun with some of the most dated aspects, like the meal part. But there's a lot of heart and charm to this game. Especially when it comes to customization and the gorgeous monster design. Also, this game is great (albeit much slower) when it comes to long range weapons. Good game, but extremely frustrating. Also, why are the hitboxes so punishing??

Peak classic Monster Hunter. No gimmicks, no charms, just you, solved sets, and some jank. Kino jank, the kind that makes you a true man. Not the "Dark Souls ohh its so hard guys (isn't hard at all just obtuse without being told outside of the game what is what)" kind of difficulty but the one that you either keep running into the same wall the same way or the kind you will naturally adapt to. Beautiful designs and wonderful fights. You must get over yourself in order to get good at this game, it is a total power of will. This game is NOT the herculean task shitters on the internet will call it, its honest to God above not even top 20 in the "hardest games category." Absolute Monster Hunter kino.

(beat HR village Akantor, got the credits) One of the most content-rich games ever made and Nargacuga is one of the best monsters in the series. Shame about the balance issues, awful hitboxes and how basically every weapon except Greatsword and Longsword feels awful to play and every Gen 1 monster still sucks dick. Definitive "old-gen Mon Hun" starting place.
