Monster Hunter Rise is the biggest game of the year so far, and it is offering dedicated hunter dozens upon dozens of hours of engaging monster-slaying action already, with even more on the way.

Monster Hunter Rise Review – Runt Of The Litter
Monster Hunter: World was an important paradigm shift for Capcom’s beloved franchise. The well-paced difficulty ramp made progression enjoyable for newcomers, while countless endgame challenges kept expert hunters coming back for more.

Monster Hunter Rise review: The Wirebug should excite new (and old) fans
The movement in Monster Hunter Rise finally clicked for me as I soared above the Lagombi’s head.

It makes sense as a big-screen adaptation, especially in an […]
Monster Hunter Rise Director Has Made The Game More Accessible To Newcomers
If you’re a new hunter, stepping into the world of Capcom’s Monster Hunter can be a daunting and intimidating task. Not only are there giant creatures roaming the lands, but grasping the mechanics and coming to terms with the franchise’s long, arduous battles may be off-putting.

Why Hunter Bows Are Just As Good Or Better Than Predator Bows In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
The argument has been made that Hunting bows in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla are basically the inferior version of Predator bows. While it’s true that Predator bows deal more damage, there are benefits to using Hunter bows where the Predator bows fall short. Light bows are another type that people use in the game, but most […]
