- Monster Hunter has, over the past few years become one of my favorite series in gaming. But Generations, given its name, feels like an attempt to starve off a potential portable generation jump (especially when it comes to visuals), something to fill up time and piecemeal upgrade the previous title in the series before the inevitable Monster Hunter 5.
Willie Clark · Aug 12, 2016 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Monster Hunter Generations feels like a slight step forward while changing things up a bit in the formula. The Hunter Styles and Hunter Arts add a lot to the game play, and sometimes it even feels like a new weapon wasn’t needed. The improvements here are a nice welcome, and the numerous quests to take on will keep players busy for well over 80 hours.
Drew Leachman · Jul 25, 2016 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Predictably impenetrable, but cut through the leathery hide and there's enough great game in here to give a Tigrex indigestion.
Matthew Sakuraoka-Gilman · Jul 18, 2016 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - This franchise is yet to reach near-perfection (total perfection is impossible, of course), but it's still one of the most enjoyable and immersive time-sinks to be found on Nintendo hardware. For any gamer ready for a long-term challenge, with tough battles and plenty of complexity to master, this is most certainly worth hunting down.
Thomas Whitehead · Jul 12, 2016 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Monster Hunter Generations makes a lot of smart improvements, even if the series is starting to show its age on Nintendo 3DS. It’s the most beginner friendly title to date, and features some great content from past games married to new gameplay innovations. It’s the best of both worlds, and a really good new entry in Capcom’s beloved series.
Tyler Treese · Jul 12, 2016 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - 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.
Jose Otero · Jul 12, 2016 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Monster Hunter Generations is the pinnacle game in the series and a must-buy for anyone looking for a solid multiplayer action RPG on the 3DS, even hunting monsters solo is a blast. Just be sure to pick up a Circle Pad or Circle Pad Pro if you don't have one of the NEW 3DS lines, as controlling the camera with touch isn't great.
Jed Whitaker · Jul 12, 2016 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - After dozens of hours I feel like I've barely scratched the surface of this adventure--there are other weapons and Hunter Art combinations I want to try, and of course, there are many more monsters to hunt. With Monster Hunter you get out what you put into the game, and Monster Hunter Generations is a game that compels me to put in more of my time.
Justin Haywald · Jul 12, 2016 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Even better, we can spend more time enjoying our newfound individuality and actually savoring the game, because we can spend less time grinding for specific materials. The improved gathering means we have an option when it comes to creating our equipment. We can spend hours on it or make do with what we have to move forward. We can even be Palicos! It’s a wonderful time to be a hunter.
Jenni Lada · Jul 12, 2016 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Whatever your playstyle, you eventually hit the deep endgame to try and collect the best gear from deviant monsters, challenging encounters that have different abilities that the hunter won’t be ready for. Players can easily spend most of their time with Monster Hunter Generations at the endgame, hunting down the best of the best armor and weapons while tackling ferocious beasts.

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
Monster Hunter Generations introduces new gameplay mechanics including Styles and Hunter Arts that can further refine a very personalized playstyle. Mount monsters from mid-air using the Aerial style or make the most out of the advantageous Hunter Arts abilities with the Striker style. Hunter Arts are visually striking, indispensable combat skills and power-ups that hunters using any style or weapon can equip. Along the hunter’s journey, players must defend each of the game’s four villages from new major threats—the Fated Four. With hundreds of quests in store, there are tons of challenges to tackle in a solo adventure, and also via local or online play with up to three other hunters.
