If you love Capcom’s Monster Hunter: World, then it might mean you love several other things as well. Things like menu screens, a variety of weapons, tactical control schemes, big swords, tons of gear, considerable difficulty, and absolutely gigantic monsters. This 2018 monster-maiming title had bigger baddies than any of the Monster Hunter games before it.
So if big weapons, hidden secrets, and continent-sized foes are exactly what you want to see in your games, and if you’ve already slashed your way through Monster Hunter: World, then here’s a list of titles to help you carry on the hunt. Games with beasts to be bested, gear to be gotten, and trips across mysterious lands to be taken. So, without further ado, here are ten games to play if you loved Monster Hunter: World.
10 Dark Souls III
A strong candidate for the most difficult game ever, the third Dark Souls iteration has some of the most strenuous encounters in all of gaming. Monsters look terrifying, death is waiting around every corner, and players are going to become very accustomed to taking on bosses well above their weight class.
You can customize your character with a constantly evolving array of weapons and armor, and there are a variety of fighting styles to be learned as you brave the brutality time and time again. It’s the most Gothic action RPG in circulation, but it’s a deeply compelling experience with big monsters and a lot of cool stuff to be found along the way.
9 Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen
This is a game where player decisions mean everything. What size your avatar is dictates which secret passage ways they can access. Which class you select dictates how you fight. It’s classic fantasy fare, but it’s expansive, and you’re going to end up slaying more than a few pretty huge dragons.
Plus, the voice acting is ridiculous. But it’s an incredibly fun mess, and you can shoot fireballs like there’s no tomorrow.
8 Horizon Zero Dawn
Have you ever wanted to see what happens when you shoot a robot dinosaur with a bow and arrow? Have you ever wanted to wander the scarred surface of a scorched and sundered Earth? If the answer is yes to any of the above, then Horizon Zero Dawn may be the perfect game for you.
It’s a challenging journey that most definitely should not be attempted on the hardest difficulty, it features a strong female protagonist, and touts an expansive open world map. And in case you didn’t hear it the first time: there are tons of robot dinosaurs, so it’s definitely worth a try.
7 Final Fantasy VII Remake
Cloud’s original journey to rid the world of Shinra Co.’s evil is one of the most beloved video game tales ever told. Players grow a party of some of gaming’s most memorable characters, they outfit their fighters with magical weapons and materia, and they explore a world that may be the best take on “steampunk” since Nausicaa of The Valley Of The Wind.
The remake hasn’t changed any of the things fans loved about the original. It simply turned the old turn based combat system into a vibrant and engaging action RPG, and added quite a lot of extra content. So much so, that it took the first five percent of the original game and turned it into a 40 hour journey. So if you’re looking for something to help kill time, this game is a stalwart option.
6 Shadow Of The Colossus
The Colossi in Shadow Of The Colossus are some of the coolest video game beasts in the zeitgeist. They offer their own unique challenges, they all exemplify their own specific art style, and when the game was first released on the PlayStation 2, they were the most mind-bending behemoths the gaming world had seen.
The game itself features a lot of quiet, reflective, and moody walks through desolate landscapes, but the vibes considerably change when the big boys lumber onto the scene. Gaming has since dialed up the size of bosses as technology has improved, but SOTC was the first time most players met a creature bigger than the screen.
5 God Eater 3
God Eater 3 may not have the best writing. Honestly, its story may not even make sense. But that’s okay when you’ve got a combat system that is nuanced, ever changing, and layered. Sure, button mashing may prevail sometimes, but if you really want to get the most out your time hunting Aragami, it’s worth learning the system.
This game is so chock full of giant monsters, powerful weapons, combo attacks, and menu screens that it may actually be hard to distinguish from Monster Hunter: World. That is, until you get about ten percent into the story, when the nonsense really starts flowing, and this journey clearly becomes an anime game.
4 Nioh
The world can’t get enough of samurai games these days. It seems like everybody and their mother is picking up a katana and slashing baddies like they did back in the good ole feudal days. But what sets Nioh apart from all the other swordsmanship selections on the market is its complexity.
There are many weapons to be mastered, stances to be learned, skills and combos to be unlocked, and even all of that may not help. This game is just plain hard, and you really have to think to get through some of its challenges. Demon slaying is a brutal profession, and the game makes that point many times over. However, if you like monsters, menus, and men of honor, then this game should be your jam.
3 God Of War
Kratos is no stranger to giant monsters, breathtaking boss fights, and killing. In fact, he is probably one of the most violent video game characters ever.
His most recent outing however, gave us a Kratos that was less concerned with killing, and more concerned with burying his wife. Which was a promising sign for his future growth as a person. Nobody should be filled with that much rage; it’s just not healthy. But even despite his growth as an individual, there are still a few brutes along the way who need to be taught a lesson. And that’s the real beauty of God Of War.
2 The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
What else needs to be said about this game? It has an amazing open world, an array of intense enemies, a combat system full of nuances and learning curves, and it added another installment in one of the most beloved ongoing stories in the world. And to be honest, you’ve probably played Breath Of The Wild. But if you haven’t, you should immediately stop what you’re doing, get yourself a copy, and cancel your plans for the next three and a half weeks. You’re gonna be busy.
1 The Witcher 3
Getting to step into the shoes of Geralt Of Rivia is both a blessing and a curse. It’s a blessing because you get to have magical powers, incredible sword skills, and oodles of charm. But it’s also a curse because Geralt can’t seem to stop battling monsters.
That’s actually the whole point of The Witcher. He’s a monster hunter by trade, which is definitely a hard and unforgiving life. And when you’ve got hair like Geralt’s, you’re sort of cursed with the life of an action star. Just look at him. He’s like a Middle-Earth Tom Cruise.
