A Monster Hunter structure means there will be a central hub for you to return to, and various Wild Area-esque zones for you to explore in turn - but unlike the Wild Area itself, you will be exploring them with purpose. It probably won't be to hunt down and slay a Garchomp, but the game looks set to offer a sense of direction in every open area it offers you. This is a halfway house between the rigid routes of the main game and the Pokemon Hyrule of everyone's dreams, but it's probably for the b

In combat, hunters can use Wirebugs to perform different Silkbind attacks depending on their weapon. Wirebugs also help hunters mount and ride monsters that have been knocked down, allowing them to cause additional damage for a brief amount of time. More advanced hunters can effortlessly combine their Wirebug and weapon usage, performing impressive flashy combo mo

But between Wild Hearts and Monster Hunter Rise, which game is better? Does Capcom's long-running series still manage to outdo the competition, or does Wild Hearts do enough to make even the biggest Monster Hunter fans switch over to

Keeping on the Viking trend, Assassin's Creed Valhalla was met with rave reviews and captures many ruggedly beautiful landscapes, similar to those enjoyed by players while traversing the icy Skelligan isles or the Kaedwenian mountain peaks surrounding Kaer Morhen in The Witche

Monster Hunter World 's crossover event allowed players to hunt a Leshen from The Witcher, while also allowing players to craft a set of armor that looks like Geralt's gear from The Witcher 3 . The crossover makes a lot of sense, especially since it sees Geralt continuing to hunt monsters. However, one of Geralt's most recent crossovers was also the weirdest. It was with the Switch's Daemon X Machina , and saw both Geralt and Ciri appearing in the g

EA and Koei Tecmo's Wild Hearts is a hunting action game with many similarities to the Monster Hunter series that many fans have eagerly anticipated.

The trailer also teases the ability to upgrade players' weapons with a variety of effe

Not much can be said for the graphical quality - games have come a long way since 2007 and 2011 - but the rich storytelling we expect from the witcher's tales is all there and as a fan of the franchise, you don't want to overlook these chapters in Geralt's st
