One of the few absolutely perfect games I can play over and over again without fatigue. Made an absolutely gigantic impact on its own and many other genres. Satisfying gameplay loop with a ton of memorable moments and fun cast. Easily available and one that everyone should give a try at least once in their life.

While the gameplay has reached incredible heights, the exploration and level design has taken a massive hit compared to past entries. Too many areas are boring with a linear sense of progression that doesn't help it at all. However, the bosses and build variety still makes it worthwhile playthrough.

My first starting point into the Monster Hunter series and have been hooked ever since! Every monster is unique and have a certain dance that makes engaging them with multiple weapons extremely satisfying and fun. Purchased on Switch launch day and have still been grinding and joining hunts to this day and hope to join even more in the future.
