In Capcom’s Monster Hunter series, there are approximately 200 unique creatures in total. We’ve carefully examined each one and hand-picked our top 25 favorites, which we believe represent the crème de la crème of these beastly adversaries. These are the monsters that excite us as much as they frustrate us during battle. With Monster Hunter Wilds recently expanding this roster, now is an excellent opportunity to explore some of the most remarkable creatures in the series. Ranging from Malzeno to Zinogre, Nergigante, and beyond, here are our top 25 favorite monsters in the Monster Hunter universe.

In our gaming hub, PCG, we’re quite fond of Avowed, Obsidian’s shroomy RPG. Unlike some games, like Starfield, it offers a straightforward and uncomplicated approach to lockpicking. You won’t waste precious minutes trying to pick a lock, only to discover a chicken sandwich and a replacement lockpick (yes, we’re looking at you, Starfield). However, there are a few factors to keep in mind when burglarizing your way through the Living Lands in Avowed, so let me share some insights on using lockpicks.

Purchase this treasure map from Lynna at the Claviger’s Landing docks for 100 coins, and it will guide you to an annoying standard mountain trail where you can unearth a deceased individual’s unappealing feline-themed armor.

This version aims to preserve the original meaning while using more conversational language that is easy to understand.

Elden Ring: Nightreign, created by the imaginative team at FromSoftware, offers a refreshing twist compared to their previous works. It’s not that their past projects were poor in any way, quite the contrary—but Nightreign presents a unique vibe. The leisurely exploration found in Elden Ring, Sekiro, and Bloodborne has been swapped for intense combat and a relentless pursuit of clearing bosses and leveling up as swiftly as possible.

As a fervent admirer myself, I can’t help but echo the widespread appreciation for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. It’s been a week now since I dived into this captivating medieval world, and I find myself lost in its intrigue at every turn. The game has easily earned a spot among my all-time favorites. Just like Lurking_like_Cthulhu, I too have invested an extraordinary amount of time into it, and I can’t get enough.

What sets this game apart is the way it subtly unveils new dimensions even after countless hours of exploration. The immersive simulation elements breathe life into every choice, making them feel significant. Side quests are not just isolated events but ripple effects that echo throughout the expansive tapestry of storylines. It’s like stepping into a living, breathing world where every decision matters and every action has consequences.

In essence, it’s a week spent immersed in delightful chaos—a testament to the game’s captivating design and the unquenchable thirst of its players for more.

In the realm of RPGs, Avowed sets itself apart by giving its non-player characters (NPCs), particularly merchants, a unique touch. Unlike in many other RPGs where vendors are mere automated sales machines, the merchants in Avowed have been crafted to appear as genuine individuals. Their conversations are not just repetitive scripts, but rather, they offer distinct dialogue that sets them apart from one another. Furthermore, their personal histories and characteristics serve to make each merchant feel more authentic, thereby enriching the Living Lands of Avowed, giving it a livelier and more immersive atmosphere compared to having a crowd of faceless vendors offering goods for sale.

The news about the success of King’s Court II (KCD2) was announced on Warhorse Studios’ official Twitter account with a toast to everyone involved. Given that the game sold a million copies in its first day and received an outstanding Metacritic score, this accomplishment was anticipated. Nevertheless, it’s still quite impressive how rapidly they achieved this milestone.

Indeed, this allusion is to the widely known story of Excalibur, the legendary sword from Arthurian lore, which was initially embedded in a stone. It was believed that whoever could extract it would be destined to discover the Holy Grail. Could Henry from Skalitz be the one who will uncover the Holy Grail?

In the realm of Role-Playing Games (RPGs), mechanics like crafting are commonplace, typically focusing on stats and luck. However, in the anticipated sequel Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, blacksmithing stands out as it’s less reliant on stats, with outcomes primarily depending on the effort exerted by players. This unique aspect not only adds depth and immersion but also sets a standard for future RPG crafting systems, making it an exceptional part of the game that aligns well with its RPG classification.

This intense role-playing game may not captivate all players, yet it has successfully resonated with those drawn to its historically accurate backdrop and intricate gaming mechanics.
