The initial reception to Days Gone was fairly lukewarm. People had mixed opinions about the story, didn't really bond with the protagonist, and were absolutely exhausted by the wealth of technical issues that plagued the game on rele

The newest installment in the spin-off series focuses on a young Monster Rider that comes into contact with a newly-hatched Rathalos. Players will have to unravel the mystery of a prophecy concerning the titular Wings of Ruin in this new Monster Hunter RPG adventure. Monster Hunter Stories 2 might share similarities with Pokemon in its turn-based battles and monster capturing, but the game also seems to be drawing some inspiration from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the W

In the end, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild obviously doesn't hold a monopoly on every gameplay element within its scope. It does, however, seem to be a blueprint for a bunch of new adventure games releasing these days. The player desire for deeply explorable worlds, and environments filled with life and excitement, is something that will never go a

Another feature it has over Monster Hunter Rise is that you don't have to go to a specific area or fight monsters to test out new weapons, although the latter is still an option. Instead, wooden Kemono statues spread throughout the world meant for testing weap

It would be impossible to take about stellar open-world games without mentioning the behemoth that is Grand Theft Auto 5 . Rockstar Games truly went above and beyond in ensuring that this game served as a near-perfect evolution of the Grand Theft Auto form

Another place that Geralt would feel right at home in is the Nioh series. The Nioh games see players fighting through hordes of spirits in Souls-like combat through a variety of dodges and weapons. Geralt would be a great addition to Nioh as his nimble fighting style would mix well with the series' heavy emphasis on dodging and parrying enemy attacks. Geralt would also fit right into the game's dark universe while also bringing some levity through his dry commentary on the strange world. Geralt likely wouldn't fit into Nioh 's historic setting, but with how impressively successful Nioh 2 was , a crossover could be in the cards for Nioh and The Witcher series' futu

While combat in the Monster Hunter Wilds missions|Https://monsterwildlands.com/ Hunter series has stayed relatively rigid despite new weapon and mechanic additions, Wild Heart's combat feels a bit faster and more fluid, despite having a few similar weapon types. Wild Hearts also features no tedious weapon sharpening or item switching, so the combat is able to flow better without much interrupt

Palicoes, the felyne sidekicks often seen accompanying hunters on their quests, have been around since Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and are still present in Monster Hunter Rise. The game also adds a new canyne sidekick and mount through the Palamute , which can be ridden for faster traversal and even ridden in com

This gear is actually an interesting armor from a lore perspective, since the culture that made this armor doesn't usually have any men around. To have male armor implies male society members, whether from another race or otherwise. In Breath of the Wild, men aren't being allowed into the city where this is purchased, but maybe they were o

The first part of this collaboration puts you in Geralt’s boots and gives you all-new mysteries to solve and gear to craft with the Special Assignment "Contract: Trouble in the Ancient Forest". After you complete the assignment, the Geralt α full armor set will be available for crafting, as well as the Sword & Shieldweapon Witcher’s Silver Sword for your Hunter. And for your Palico, the Nekker α full armor set and Cursed Staff α will show up in the Smithy’s l

EA and Koei Tecmo's Wild Hearts is a hunting action game with many similarities to the Monster Hunter series that many fans have eagerly anticipated. Monster Hunter Rise , the most recent entry in the Monster Hunter series, never had as much popularity as its predecessor Monster Hunter: World , but has been gaining more due to its availability on more platfo

Definitely one of the best and most iconic armor sets in the game , this fancy armor offers more vitality and a buck load of defense against many attacks, from slashing to bludgeoning . Not only do you look the part of a dashing, chivalrous knight, but you're more than ready to take down a dragon and save damsels in distr
