Monster Hunter Generations is a small step forward for hunterkind (updated)

Some say the best traits skip a generation.

This isn’t entirely the case for Monster Hunter Generations — the latest Nintendo 3DS entry in the series that released July 15 — which follows 2015’s adept Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, a game that took up months of my gaming time last year. In some ways, especially for people like me who drop everything and dig deep into new Monster Hunter releases, it seems almost a bit too early for another, as these often run into the hundreds of hours of playing time.
