MH4U/ Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is the best Monster Hunter imo. For me, it's my favorite game in the franchise.

I would like to commend some of the things that Capcom did in game that made it one of the most popular above the other games in the franchise. One of the things that they did great is Difficulty. The difficulty curve of the game is very considerate and beginner friendly. Whenever you create a new game in the franchise, you need to take in consideration the new audience. You have to make them familiarize the mechanics of the game and how does its gameplay works. So in order to do these, you need to make the game beginner friendly so that you can hook more and more new audience thus making the community of the game grow larger. MH4U did well on inviting new players into the game with their friendly difficulty. And when I say "Difficulty", I am not just saying that this game is easy to learn and beginner friendly, I am also talking about its endgame spike. I have read a lot of opinions in reddit that MH4U is the hardest game in the franchise, and they are not wrong about that. Even I myself had a hard time playing its endgame even if this is my 4th Monster Hunter game. I utterly demolished my last 3 games like MHGU (Hunter Arts makes this game a piece of cake but I have no problem with that because its fun), MH3U and its swimming mechanics, MHFU (hitboxes and controls is the only hard part of the game because this is my 1st MH game, other than that monsters can be predicted easily). But 4U is just .... arrghhh, goddamn hard. I wasn't able to solo G2+Rank because of its difficulty. I guess I just need to become better at the game but oh well, the opinions of others just supports my conclusion about the endgame difficulty spike of the game. Although I might look like complaining or whatever, the difficulty of its endgame makes the hunt and the game more thrilling which is litterally what Monster Hunter game should be, not dull and not boring yet pretty challenging and enjoyable. In summary about the difficulty, its perfect. It can be played by beginners and 1st timers in the franchise and also for old hunters who really wanted new challenge on their hunt. Easy to learn, hard to master.

Other than that, the music are great, most specially Gore Magala who is the flagship monster of the series. Literally, OST's are all badass.

Gameplay are still the same as the old MH games so its great because they remain true to the older games of the franchise. While introducing new content, weapons, monsters etc.

All in all, this should be the foundation of what a Monster Hunter and what a game is. 5/5
