GU was an absolute power move of a game. Motherfucker comes in full force with probably the best expansion entry of the franchise. Valstrax more than steals the show as the cover monster and the secondary flagship Bloodbath Diablos is one of the most extreme fights ever put into a non Frontier Monster Hunter.

Two new styles are added into this alongside some new Deviants for the rest of the Fated Four; Valor and Alchemy. While the latter I haven't used much the former on the other hand...and as someone who pretty much mains Valor Great Sword almost exclusively that shit is THE SHIT. It's so hype I sometimes find myself preferring it to World's GS moveset. Dat dash bro, DAT FUCKIN DASH. Features one of the best and most genuinely surprising final bosses in the entire franchise with Ahtal-Ka.

The only thing that truly kinda sucks about this is that you still have to play through the weaker first third of Generations to access the incredible high rank village and G-Rank gathering hub quests, but when you do and that's all you're doing leaving behind silly garbage like killing 50 Bnahabras and instead sick quests like Jho and Rajang at the same time? It reaches the absolute kind of peak fun video games should strive to be.
