Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate vs Risk of Rain
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate sets you off on yet another exciting monster-hunting adventure as you travel to a whole new world filled with over 200 interesting, story-laden quests and take on magnificent monsters that will take your breath away. Collect resources from these slain creatures as well as gather some stuff from your surrounding just so you can create all of hundreds of weapons and armor that are available in this installment. Best yet, you can choose to hunt with 2 AI buddies or with actual real-life buddies of your own via the game's co-op multiplayer mode.In some way, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate does feel like Pokemon Go at times, but of course, the gameplay is definitely a whole lot more engaging and memorable. If you love hunting monsters and own a Nintendo 3DS, this is a game you'll want to buy.
Risk of Rain
Risk of Rain is a rogue-like, action platformer that is difficult enough to be challenging and is punishing (perma-death). You can choose to face the constantly spawning enemies alone - well, not exactly since you'll have your drone - or cooperatively with up to 3 other friends in hopes of collecting all the tools you need to find the teleporter machine and to finally, head back home. The enemies you fight are randomly generated by combining traits and abilities from a fixed yet extensive list as well, making the game a lot more unpredictable and hence, enjoyable.In addition to the 12 unique characters that you can unlock and a plethora of powerups to use, the game is also set on a mysterious planet with diverse biomes, ranging from dark forests to the frozen tundra. There is even an engrossing storyline which you can slowly piece together by collecting items and monster logs in your adventures.
Risk of Rain is definitely a fun and challenging platform game to play alone, but it particularly shines when you play it with friends. Time just seems to fly by in co-op mode and of course, let's not forget about the hilarious moments when one of you messed up (intentionally or otherwise).
