Easily one of the most underrated games of 2022.

Hugely improved and still being updated regularly after all this time. Definitely worth the money now and very easy to jump into for anyone.

With new servers added, it's finally possible to experience New World! So far, so good!

MHS2 is a great addition to a wonderful series of games. It may not attract the same audience as Monster Hunter: World did, but it’s still a great game on its own. If you can look past the childish story and characters, subpar graphics and lack of returning monsters, you’ll still have lots of fun here. As others have said, Pokémon can take some notes here, this game makes taking eggs and hatching them fun, almost addicting. The combat system is your typical turn-based combat but with a rock, paper scissor-esque system. I liked it but I can see why others prefer combat in games like Ni No Kuni or the other monster hunter games. In combat you can switch out your weapons and your “monsties” to gain an edge on your opponent or break objects the opposing enemy is holding.
The exploration is also a little less exciting than World and very typical of other JRPG’s. Exploring caves, taking down the monster, then it runs away to a cave where you can go in and kill them for good or take their eggs whilst they sleep.
Gathering ingredients makes a comeback as well. You can create potions, bring items to a smithy to make weapons and armour or bring Bottle Caps to a felyne to get special weapons, armour and upgrades that increase the amount of monsties you can hold at one time in your farm.
I don’t recommend this game to everyone but it you enjoy Ni No Kuni mixed with Pokémon and Monster Hunter all rolled into one, you’ll get some good fun out of this!

How to train your dragon

AI is unfair and makes this game a chore to play. Makes you feel at a constant disadvantage, I usually like roguelites but this game disappoints me.

Ridiculous hockey fun! Don’t expect anything like EA NHL, which is a good thing cause those games suck. The only thing I would add to this game is online PvP!

Better than 6, probably in my top 5 strategy games of all time. The one more turn phrase rings true in Civ V.

One of the best RPG’s I’ve ever played, if only this would get a sequel. On the “remaster” front, this game isn’t great in that regard. But in the overall package, it’s worth a try. If you like Fallout, Fable or the Elder Scrolls, there’s a good chance you’ll like this. Just don’t expect it to look much better than the original.

One of the best RPG’s ever made. Period. Just started my second play through on Steam after beating the game on PS4. Divinity: OS2 will draw you in and keep you on the hook until the end. Don’t miss out on this one.
