5. Monster Hunter World

Monster Hunter World gameplay

Congrats hunter, you have just arrived to the new world. You and your Palico have been tasked to do one simple thing. HUNT. Monster Hunter World is the latest installment in the famed franchise. It's the first current gen game for the series and you can really tell! The story isn't really the strongest point in this game, but the hunts are always incredible. There's a reason why I have almost 150 hours invested in this game and I have been loving every second of it. There’s 14 different weapon classes from a charge blade (my personal favorite) to gun lances. Do you like to get in close and make that Nergigante regret the day it crossed your path? Choose a hammer and put the smack down on it. Do you like to keep your distance and chip away at it? Bring out a light or heavy machine gun and rain down hell! Use the environments to your advantage. Swing from vines or roots and mount the monster and knock them out. Each monster has their own unique characteristics and you will have to figure out the best way to use their attacks to your advantage.

Ah yes, the best way to catch a monster off guard is to crouch.

“Hi, I’m Nergigante. Welcome to the worst day of your life!”
