SeekerMonster Hunter Generations
Monster Hunter Generations hits the core tenets of what makes this series great. Great gear drives the lust for the hunt even on the small scale, but the big, spectacular fights ultimately matter the most. Generations’ tweaked combat adds just the right tools to make slaying epic boss monsters a fun activity that’s just as fun online or off. Playable companions help shake up the gathering game without taking away resources, and its fun to play as a wackier character. Generations only falters during slower moments spent on fetch quests and in wrangling through menus before the hunt.

Monster Hunter Generations is more like the video game equivalent of a live double album, of the kind favoured by all globe-trotting rock bands in the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. It has all the hits, though some come with new arrangements, plus some extra features, a few refinements, some unnecessary expansions and a few drum solos here and there. It’s a kind of smorgasbord of Monster Hunter goodness.
