Monster Hunter

Monster Hunter Series is basically the ultimate monster-slaying playground where you grab massive weapons, track down giant beasts, and try not to get stomped. Made by Capcom since 2004, it’s all about epic battles, crafting killer gear from monster parts, and teaming up with buddies to take down some seriously nasty creatures.

Each game throws you into crazy cool environments filled with all kinds of monsters that have their own moves and tricks — so you gotta learn their patterns, plan your attacks, and maybe get a little lucky. Whether you’re swinging huge swords, sniping with bows, or setting traps, every fight feels like a huge puzzle that’s insanely satisfying when you finally win.

Big highlights include Monster Hunter: World, which blew up the series worldwide with its open-world vibe, and Monster Hunter Rise, where you can zip around like a ninja with the new Wirebug. The series keeps getting better, offering tons of ways to play solo or squad up online for some serious monster hunting chaos.

If you love action, strategy, and gear grinding — plus bragging rights for taking down the biggest monsters — Monster Hunter is where it’s at.
