Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is the Monster Hunter game that everybody has played during their childhood or even some hunters' first mh game. I will not be biased, I enjoyed freedom unite but it is an 'okay' game it's not the best and its not bad either. Why is it okay? MHFU has a lot of good and bad things. Good things for example its Village, Pokke village is one of the greatest villages in the franchise, it really gave me that safe, warmth, and happy village type of feeling. Every time I finished a quest hearing the Pokke Village theme and seeing the village in peace just gives me this happy and safe vibe. Also, let's not forget some of its new mechanics such as the new and improved farming system! Yes, the palico farm from Portable 1 is back but a little much better, if I'm gonna be honest MHFU has the best palico farm in all of the 3 portable games. Easier, bigger, and simple, that's the palico farm of MHFU. On the other hand, MHFU has its downside such as bad hitboxes and i mean by bad is 'nightmare'. Every movement a monster make it damages your hunter and not just movement but as long as you are in a body area of the monster even if it didn't touch you, you will get damaged. Graphics wise it is a little better than its predecessor, Portable 1. It removed its semi top-down view when in the village and the assets and graphics may look a little similar but it is I guess you can call it a little polished? Yes, it has the essence of Monster Hunter and very very hard and I'm not gonna lie for me I think it was hard because it is a clanky game. It has an unoptimized hitbox from Monster and Weapons itself. Story-wise, MHFU has the original MH Formula of a story. From a big flagship called Tigrex into the here is "the real bad guy destroying the eco-system hunt it down!" type of story. It has several enjoyable monsters from Tigrex, Teostra, Kushala Daora, and etc. Some battles are enjoyable and some are just plain ol' torture since it is an outdated game from 2007. So, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is a okay Monster Hunter game but a unoptimized game. Was it memorable? Yes, as my first MH game it was memorable everything about it but I do only remember it as "My First MH" game. The only thing that making me love this game is the nostalgia of the Monster Hunter Essence that the new gens are losing.
