Hunting Games Ranked

Not gonna call them MH Clones anymore coz it makes it sound like they're inferior to the source when almost all of them pretty much blow MH out of the water with how hard they've strived to innovate and break new grounds in this genre. TLDR, all the other franchises are definitely worth giving a shot especially if you're a fan of MH but even if you aren't you're still likely to find something fun in 1 or 2 series here.

God Eater 2: Rage Burst

The best to ever do it and no one will ever beat it forever.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink
Granblue Fantasy: Relink
The latecomer that actually learned so much from other games in the genre and managed to pull it off insanely well

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak

This is the best MH will ever get while sadly being the last good one ever after Wilds mangles this franchise into an unrecognizable mess. Thank you for all your efforts Ichinose o7

Toukiden 2

Has the most gigantic leap in terms of improvements from its previous entry. Pulled off open world for the first time in this genre and did it insanely well

Monster Hunter Tri

The best MH game under the console team just for kickstarting the best MH Gen as well as for how experimental it was. Also the last time said experiments weren't absolutely awful

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

Freedom Wars

Beats out the rest of the list just for being probably the most experimental one here even if it fails to deliver on how promising the whole concept is.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

Tri without the sauce in exchange for more content. AKA lame

a bit insane to see iceborne that low but other than that, you're right, relink really did pulled it off insanely well, wish they didn't pull the plug after Faa

i know it's getting characters but still, seeing the credits roll right after beating that peak fight really hits home

@tarnkappe I could probably go on for my entire lifespan about why IB is just the absolute worst but I'd sum it up by the whole game feeling like it was created by people who hate MH at it's core. Also yea, I do agree with feeling extremely sad when Relink ended but I just keep telling myself that with that amount of quality content especially for the price point, they definitely deserve to rest easy after the insanely good job they've done.

Wow! I agree with your list and I've been playing MH since Tri and first played God Eater on PSP back in the day. My Vita is just a Hunting/VN machine.

@ChaosZeroX I started with Tri too and I still think 3rd gen is the best in the franchise, specially with P3rd. I sadly never really tried any of the other hunting games until recently but I managed to finish p much all of them in like 2 years. I definitely wanna try the PSP versions of GE though just to really see how they managed to pack this much kino into that machine.
