IGN: "If you’re not a Monster Hunter player, you should be. There’s a reason it’s so successful; like Dark Souls, it’s both exceptionally challenging and incomparably exhilarating, once you’ve gotten past your first few hours of pitiful flailing. It’s not just a series of boss fights, though each significant encounter with a properly intimidating monster evokes all the adrenaline and fear of the best boss battles in other games. It’s about getting to know your prey, learning their behaviour, and having the testicular fortitude to stand right under the noses of some of the meanest beasts ever imagined and poke a lance into their faces."
