While researching good PSP games to play I found many posts about Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and other Monster Hunter games. They are beloved by the community but after doing some reading/watching it’s not clear to me what the appeal is. I would appreciate if someone could tell what the goal is and what you love about the game. Apparently they are very long games (I think I read 100 hours or something along those lines) which is really great if I can get into a single game for that long. Thank you!
The complexity and variety of the weapons, as well as the different monsters and the personalities is what I like about them. It’s basically a boss rush game with the occasional gathering session for environmental resources.
It’s not a game for everyone, and it’s kinda a running meme that everyone drops it shortly after there first time playing it, only to come back years later and get completely hooked.
If you do decide to try it, I really suggest messing around with the weapons in the training area until you find one interesting to you, and then searching up a guide for it.
