This is it! This is the best Monster Hunter game ever made. It has everything that makes the Monster Hunter series unique, but refined so everyone can enjoy it on some level. Monsters are creative and the battle system is amazing. The hunt/forge/grind loop is addictive even with its slow pacing. Sure, it might feel too slow at times and the story can be ignored at best, but that doesn't make it less impressive. I can't recommend this game enough.
