7. Monster Hunter: World 

Monster Hunter: World Opening Sequence Gameplay

If Skyrim for you is all about the creatures and combat, then check out Monster Hunter: World. Right now, it’s only out for consoles, but a PC release is expected in the fall. In the newest installment to the Monster Hunter franchise, you play as a Hunter sent with a crew to the New World to help set up a research base interested in studying the Elder Dragons, and how their bio-energy affects the environment. And kill hostile creatures, of course. You must collect materials from the fallen monsters to craft powerful weapons and armour and do quests for the local NPCs to build up the research facility and colonies.

How it’s like Skyrim: It’s set in a high fantasy setting, with dragons, and is combat and quest focused. You can create your own avatar and outfit them with your choice of numerous weapons and armour. There is a crafting and upgrade system.

How it’s Different: Your character’s abilities are based on your equipment rather than individual skill stats. The game has a clearer narrative structure than Skyrim, though you are by no means on rails.

Take down monsters of all sizes as an A-List Hunter in the New World.

The graphics are absolutely stunning.
