My favorite game franchise is Monster Hunter but I currently have played enough of every game in the franchise to be burnt out and am looking for something new. What I like about MH is the action combat system, the small group multiplayer and although most MH games don’t have it, I’d like a game similar to this that also supports crossplay at least between PC and XBox.
Any suggestions?
You might want to give Dauntless a shot. I haven’t played it in a while, but it’s basically a free monster hunter clone. The graphics weren’t up to MH levels, but the combat is solid and the crafting system is pretty fun.
Counterpoint: Dauntless kinda sucks. It’s made by the Fortnite guys and it feels like a MTX shop with a bad MH clone pasted on the top.
But hey, it’s free. Doesn’t hurt to check it out and decide for yourself.
For me, I’ve been getting into souls-like games. They scratch a similar itch to MH when it comes to skill-based play. There’s a new one coming out in a few days called Remnant 2 that looks to be on the less punishing side. Not sure if it’s what you’re looking for but worth checking out to see if you haven’t heard of it.
+1 for Remnant 2. The first one was a sleeper hit for me and my friends. I don’t believe they have stated what crossplay will be like yet though.
Remnant 1 was great, but Remnant 2 was"designed with upscaling in mind", which translates to “we couldn’t be bothered to optimize anything”, so even a cutting edge gaming system can’t hold a consistent 60fps without upscaling enabled. Something to be aware of.
