Monster Hunter is a franchise that is near and dear to my heart. When I first moved country fully several years ago, it was right around the time Monster Hunter World launched for Xbox One. I had always been aware of the franchise, but never had a system upon which to play it, but with Capcom bringing the franchise to Xbox for the first time, I was immediately and irrevocably hooked.
It became the primary way me and my friends and family back home socialized. The sheer difficulty of the game and overcoming that challenge created epic multiplayer moments that I hadn't felt since the early World of Warcraft days. Defeating Arch Tempered Nergigante for the first time, raiding Kulve Taroth with the squad, and exploring the massive expansion of Iceborne all represent incredibly fond gaming memories.
