Monster Hunter vs Puzzle Pirates
Monster Hunter
Monster Hunter is the very first of a successful monster-hunting RPG that sees you venturing out into a fantastical world filled with massive monsters and creatures to slay. There are plenty of quests in this game ranging from protecting a town from invading monsters or collecting quest items for an NPC. As you level up, you'll gain access to far more destructive weapons and skills, all of which can be further upgraded. Best yet you can play this game in single-player or cooperatively (online multiplayer) with up to three other friends.Monster Hunter turns the usual "kill x monsters" that you frequently encounter in MMORPGs into a truly challenging task, giving you the sort of elation that comes when you've successfully (and possibly barely) slain a boss and apply it to every battle encounter in this game.
Puzzle Pirates
Puzzle Pirates is a kid-friendly, MMO adventure-puzzle game where players get to not only play as swashbuckling pirates but also explore a world filled with tons of fun mini-games as they try to build up their own pirate's reputation. The game features plenty of fun avatar customization as well, allowing you to dress your virtual self up whichever way you like.To complement this, the game even has a very robust crafting and trading system in place where you can place your order for a new peg leg (for example) at various shops or you can simply craft one yourself, provided that you have everything you need. You can also sell any extra crafted items you have to other players and set up a small little business for yourself in the game.
Being an MMO, Puzzle Pirates provide players with a ton of cooperative gameplay opportunities. For instance, when you're out at sea, players on the same voyage will need to switch jobs according to the circumstances and need of the crew as a whole. There's also a fun tetris-like game, which simulate swordfights, that you can play alongside your fellow pirates whenever your ship is being boarded by a rival pirate crew.
Although the game hasn't gotten as much attention as say... Pirate 101, Puzzle Pirates is still among the best pirate-themed MMO games out there that is incredibly fun to play and is perfect for the entire family. This game is pretty much timeless!
Most parts of the game are free-to-play, though there are some that will require a subscription.
