>>1111533A game I picked up from the PS store on the PS4 (that rhymes) that was a pretty good deal 1 year ago has been Monster Hunter World. i did not take the Iceborn package deal, because I wasn't sure if I'd ever be good enough to actually play the expansion.
I have played it again since this month.
It is for me a challenging game. It is essentially kind of a boss rush, where you go and fight big monsters in a showdown that usually takes around 20 to 30 minutes. (and I assume of course that I'm not very good at the game still and veterans may say they kill each monster in like 4 minutes tops, but whatevs)
Some people have dared to compare it a bit to a Souls game, but it's far less difficult. But it's also a game where you chip away at the enemy's health and a tiny mistake can cost you the fight.
Monsters usually start out the fight on a relaxed tempo giving you the time to catch up on the moves and figure out how to deal with them. but as the fight rages on, they start to get more spammy and fast chaining their attacks, until you're in a full blown fight desperately trying to dodge and counter, hoping the fight ends soon. And then when they're close to dying, they hit you extra hard and you have to start all over.
My last victory was against a full blown Nergigante fight and I spent basically all my healing items, but was glad that I got through it somehow.
