Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate review | GamesTM

GamesTM:

From its opening scene, which forces you into a naval battle against a massive sea beast and sees you crawling on its back at one point, it’s clear that Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is trying to offer something different to its predecessors. Granted, its underlying aim remains the same: as the titular monster hunter, the player must embark on numerous quests to slay various enormous beasts. This time, however, narrative takes more of a central role, giving more reason to what you’re doing and introducing a storyline eventually involving a virus that turns relatively weak monsters into ruthless beasts.
