games

This game is worth playing at any day of our continued existence.

Though you might have to coordinate outside of the game to consistently find parties at this point, unfortunately.

I'm playing MH freedom atm, I think every mainline entry has something unique to offer and is worth playing.

MH freedom offers me conniptions and biting my vita in frustration

MHGU is an incredible game in my top 3 in the series. You can play it as a vanilla old school mh game (guild style no hunter arts) or as wild as the game lets (Valor GS and Valor LS are the most extreme play styles in the entire franchise). The way I usually describe the game is a more-realized vision of Rise at its best. Instead of the crazy movesets being on cooldown (wirebug skills), they're integrated as alternate weapon movesets themselves (the styles). Hunter arts are even more over the top cooldown abilities.

Are you plannung to play on switch or emulator?

If you can get over the clunkiness of the controls of MH games older than World, then GU is the definitive taste of the older MH titles and has pretty much every mon you could ever want to hit with an oversized anime sword.

Personally, all the loading screens and QoL changes that don't exist in the older games makes it unbearable for me, but your mileage will vary.
