Monster Hunter Rise vs Super Mario Odyssey
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.
Super Mario Odyssey
Super Mario Odyssey is the latest Super Mario and boy, is it amazing! The game still sends you on a quest to rescue Princess Peach, this time from Bowser's wedding plans, and as usual, the journey is incredibly long and there are plenty of obstacles in your way. However, Super Mario Odyssey changes things up by giving Mario new moves, namely cap throw, that will greatly enhance the usual run-and-jump gameplay. The game also has a ton of collectibles to... well, collect, secrets to find, and enemies, objects and animals to capture. Coins that you've accumulated can also be exchanged for decorative souvenirs or new outfits for Mario at the Crazy Cap Store.Interestingly, since the game is available on Nintendo's new Nintendo Switch, this means that game is designed to be a 2-player game. The first player will be playing as Mario, while the second will be playing as Mario's heroic cap, Cappy. This is a gameplay that's practically unheard of and is pretty much a revolutionary milestone for the Super Mario series.
If you own a Nintendo Switch, or if you plan on getting one, this is one game you'll want on your device. Grab a friend now and enjoy Mario's brand-new odyssey!
