Release Date: November 28, 2015
Another installment in the popular third person perspective action series with RPG elements. Since the third game of the series, the franchise is being developed mostly on Nintendo handhelds. Similarly to its predecessors, Monster Hunter X was published by the Capcom company and developed under the supervision of Yasunori Ichinose – the director of the previous portable installments of the series.
Monster Hunter X is the next installment in the famous action RPG series started in 2004 with Monster Hunter developed on the PlayStation 2 console. This time, it is a game created for the Nintendo 3DS hand-held console. Once again, the game takes place in a fantasy world in which an amazing adventure awaits. The project was supervised by Yasunori Ichinose – the director of the previous portable installments of the series.
The game mechanics haven’t changed much, allowing the player to complete various missions that focus mostly on fighting monsters. A mountain village called Beruna is the player’s base of operations, but during the journey the player will also find locations known from other entries of the franchise. The developers added several novelties to the game that should seem familiar to fans of the series. Weapons in Monster Hunter X have four unique movement sets called Hunting Styles which are the equivalent of Skill Ranks known from Monster Hunter Frontier G8. The system is additionally supplemented by Hunting Techniques which fans know under the name of Finishers from Monster Hunter Online.
The game employs the technology used in the Monster Hunter 4G game, offering high quality 3D visuals.

Game Ratings for Monster Hunter Generations Video Game.
ZTGD: 8.5 / 10 by Drew Leachman
With the reuse of multiple locales and enemy monsters, I was hoping for a bit more variety in this game, but in the end, it still all adds up to a really enjoyable time for both veterans as well as newcomers.
Nintendo Life: 9 / 10 by Thomas Whitehead
Monster Hunter Generations is another must-have for fans of the franchise, blending the old with the new for an excellent overall package. Hunter Styles add a little extra intensity and tempo to combat while this game also tries to welcome newcomers with optional tutorials, with Prowler mode undoubtedly designed to be quirky and alluring to players of all kinds. It does some things better than its immediate predecessor - Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate - but also a couple of things a little less impressively. The nod to nostalgia brings a lot of locations and quests to keep players busy, but loses a little of the narrative edge and focus of its predecessor.Generations, overall, is the match of its predecessors that also boasts some innovations and improvements. 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.

The fresh arts and styles help mask the musty taste of recycled material, but Generations is still a new recipe with old ingredients.
