Another installment of the popular series of action games with RPG features. The series is developed by Capcom and its installments were usually released on Nintendo and Sony consoles. Welcome to a new world. Take on the role of a hunter and slay ferocious monsters in a living, breathing ecosystem where you can use the landscape and its diverse inhabitants to get the upper hand. Hunt alone or in co-op with up to three other players, and use materials collected from fallen foes to craft new gear and take on even bigger, badder beasts. It features a vast, open world that can be freely traveled through on foot or on the back of a tamed creature. The game includes a day and night cycle and the possibility to climb on some elements of the environment. However, the centerpiece isn’t exploration, but elimination of various beasts. Each opponent has a unique set of advantages and weaknesses – in order to win the player must carefully observe the behavior of the beast and develop a proper tactic that considers creature’s weaknesses, topography of the area and the plants growing on the battlefield. For example, the latter enables the player to hide in the high grass when needed. In addition to that, the world is designed in such way that it seems like a living ecosystem – the player can, for example, lure one creature to another and weaken or even defeat the target without leaving a safe hideout. The battles are played in real time and they enable the player to use varied melee weapons, ranged weapons and gadgets like a grappling hook, thanks to which the protagonist can immediately reach distant targets. The title also features character development system based on obtaining better weapons and armors. In addition to that, the corpses of fallen monsters are the source of resources that can be used to create upgrades for weapons and armors. It was developed primarily for single players. However, the title also features a cooperation multiplayer – when things are becoming too hard, the player can summon up to three companions. Their backup can frequently change the outcome of the battle. |
