Monster Hunter Rise vs Overcooked
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.
Overcooked
Overcooked is a fun cooking-themed time management game that has a wicked, co-operative twist - instead of managing workers in your kitchen like some version of Gordon Ramsay, you will get to play with up to 4 of your friends. By now, you can probably imagine the havoc around the kitchen as each of you dashes around in order to get a dish from its humble beginning as raw food into something actually edible. Of course, the game does have a single-player mode if you prefer to play on your own, but admittedly, the game becomes a whole lot more entertaining when other humans are added to the equation.The game also has a quirky storyline set in the fantasy kingdom called Onion Kingdom. Apparently, the kingdom is in danger and only through cooking will you be able to save it. In your adventure, you and your team of chefs will journey through a series of unusually interesting kitchens in hopes of gaining the skills needed to defeat the edible evil which threatens the land.
Overcooked is definitely the game to play if you're into hectic co-op games that will not only push your team's time management skills to the limit, but also put your friendship to the test!
