Infinity Blade III vs Monster Hunter Rise
Infinity Blade III
Infinity Blade III is the latest installment of the popular Infinity Blade series where you’ll join Siris, and his companions, Isa and the God-King Raidriar as they face the Worker of Secrets and his army of Deathless titans. Instead of playing as Siris, which you still can by the way, the game allows you to play as the stealthy female warrior-thief, Isa, as well. Each character will have access to uniquely different weapons and items, providing players with a replayability that’s not present in any of the previous games.The gameplay is still as amazing as usual, though the game world has seen a huge update, giving players a more stunning and immersive land to explore. You’ll also be able to set up a base of operations, called the Hideout, where you can recruit allies who happened to be skilled artisans who help you improve your combat capabilities and unlock new skills. The global ClashMob challenges are still present in this game, but like Infinity Blade II, these challenges are entirely optional.
Infinity Blade III is an impressive addition to the Infinity Blade series and is well-worth the money especially if you already got the first two games.
Monster Hunter Rise
Monster Hunter Rise is the latest game in the universally-acclaimed Monster Hunter series, which will be available on Steam on January 12th. Originally released on the Nintendo Switch, the game takes place in a new world centered around the Kamura Village, the central hub. However, people living there fear the Rampage, a series of destructive events that caused monsters to attack it. The most recent one occurred 50 years ago, and it nearly wiped out the entire village.As a monster hunter, you’ll explore the world surrounding the village, which is filled with vibrant and dynamic ecosystems, from lush forests and arid deserts to frozen wastelands and volcanic outcrops. Of course, the staple gameplay of tracking and engaging monsters in long, action-packed fights using weapons like the longsword, hammer, charge blade, and bowguns are still there. This time, the monsters are a little different since many of them are inspired by Japanese folklore, like the Magnamalo, Aknosom, and Great Izuchi. However, familiar beasts like the Rathalos, Tigrex, and Khezu are around. If you need help, you can participate in hunts with friends and other players, especially against Apex monsters.
Whether you’re an MH franchise veteran or a newbie, Monster Hunter Rise should definitely be on your crosshairs.
