Monster Hunter
« Back to Story
These role-playing action games are possibly the pinnacle of ‘hardcore’ gaming. The mechanics are exquisitely convoluted, and the quintessential relentless farming of certain monsters for the 2% possibility of accruing those rare items is overwhelming for some. Mitigating such horrors is the sheer jubilation of smiting the skull of a two-tonne Jay Leno facsimile (pictured here) with your laboriously-earned deathstick. It’s a niche concept, indubitably, but those that strike a chord with Monster Hunter must prepare to dance to its tune for, quite plausibly, several hundred hours.
Despite appearances, not merely the disconcerting domain of beardy-types who flail their eight-sided dies with glee as they demand that their elderly mothers put their Hot Pockets in the microwave.
