Extraordinary monsters in a beautiful winter wonderland
Monster Hunter is hilarious. I’m wading through a chest-high snow drift as a sinister fin roams around the clearing. The piranha-like Beotodus swims under the snow looking for an opportunity to explode from beneath. My instincts tell me to unsling the enormous sword-axe on my back and fight back, but instead I’m chugging cocoa from a flask.
Just in time the animation finishes, I dive roll sideways as Beotodus erupts from the snow with a spinning tail attack. The monster’s body clips me and I fall backwards onto my butt. A bit of health lost, but it could be worse. The main thing is I have another window I can use to stuff my face. I pull out an enormous chunk of meat and watch the circling fin again as I chomp, chomp, chomp.
