Check out the first details on how you’ll create your character – a prince or princess – in Monster Hunter Stories 3!

Even after completing Elden Ring, many players still crave that same feeling of overcoming difficult challenges and earning satisfying rewards. Luckily, other games offer a similar experience, blending tension and accomplishment with their own unique features. Some focus on storytelling and characters, while others emphasize complex gameplay or survival elements. But they all share that addictive cycle of risk and reward that keeps players hooked. If you’re a fan of challenging action games, these alternatives are definitely worth checking out.

The newest update for Monster Hunter Wilds (Update 3) is the largest one released so far. Although the game now has more content than at launch, it still has some issues. Sadly, even after several updates, the PC version remains poorly optimized. While performance has gotten slightly better, the improvements are minimal.

Whether you prefer a modern Stun Stick or a classic Mace, there are many options for taking down enemies up close. You can also improve how well these weapons work by using special in-game boosts and abilities.

It’s hard to definitively say which class is the strongest, especially since not every game uses traditional classes – for example, *Skyrim* doesn’t have set classes. However, the following classes are considered the most powerful based on the established lore of *The Elder Scrolls*, rather than simply how effective players have made them over time.

The latest update to Final Fantasy XIV adds content from Monster Hunter, including a new boss called Guardian Arkveld. Defeating it unlocks rewards like unique equipment and collectible minions. This new challenge isn’t limited-time and offers both Normal and Extreme difficulty levels. Patch 7.35 also includes new sidequests, continuing the popular Hildibrand Adventures, and other additions. You can find a complete list of changes in the official patch notes.

Microsoft had another round of layoffs just this summer, and as a result, several game projects were cancelled. These included the planned remake of Perfect Dark, Rare’s Everwild, and a years-in-development, unannounced game from the creators of The Elder Scrolls Online.

Ever since the remastered version of Oblivion came out, Elder Scrolls players have been discovering incredible and often unexpected ways to play – from incredibly fast travel across the game world to unbelievably powerful spells. One Reddit user, “Hippos_R_Us,” is showcasing their own unique creation, and asked others if they’re impressed or horrified by it in a recent post featuring a gameplay clip.

Monster Hunter Wilds features a detailed multiplayer system with many choices to explore. You can play with friends using options like Private Lobbies and Linked Parties, among others. If you prefer to play alone, the game also offers support hunters – AI companions who can assist you. These AI hunters do a good amount of damage and frequently take the monster’s attention, which can be very helpful. Because of this, you might even consider joining a lobby that includes both your friends and support hunters.

You take on the role of Soul, an assassin wrongly accused of killing his leader. This demo starts with him at the base of a canyon. Almost immediately, we run into an enemy camp. There’s no gentle introduction to combat – two soldiers rush us, then a spear-wielding rider on horseback appears, and an archer starts targeting us from a tower. I draw my sword, ready to fight and find a good position to strike.
