Just to be clear, Monster Hunter is 60% boss rush, 30% resource management and 10% gear progression.
Compared to Souls gameplay, Monster Hunter is more grindy and mission-based and you’re always pointed at the next big thing. Beat a monster, collect materials, craft weapons and armour, repeat ad nauseam. And do everything all over again when you hit High Rank.
Don’t go into Monster Hunter expecting a Souls game, it’s a different experience.
That said, I absolutely love the Monster Hunter series and have probably sunk over 800 hours into different entries combined. Definitely give them a go! And if you do, keep in mind that the newer games have some handholding QoL features not found in older games, so keep that in mind when you decide in which order you might want to experience the games.
You have to have the original game files either from the disk or downloaded from GoG or steam. Then you need tes3mp which runs great on linux and windows. I personally play on a server called neravarine prophecies, they have seasonal events and the community is a lot of fun. It uses the same engine as openMW so most of the mods that work on OpenMW are compatible, I’d stick with cosmetics to keep the servers you join compatible.
Different servers have different rules, many of them forbid going into areas that cause server crashes, i.e. mornhould.
I had a blast, then I got my kids to play and i was there to guide them a bit when the game gets tough.
Neverwinter Nights (the first one) and Heroes of Might and Magic (3 and 4). They’re just so comfortable for me to play so I just start them up when I’m to stressed out to play anything new.
Not sure it fits as it’s souls with guns, so missing the spectacle fighter element, but it’s definitely worth a look. They are both excellent games. I love the core loop they’ve got, the shooting feels excellent.
I’ve tried devil may cry 5 and I think the first one, neither really got me. I should probably try 5 again because I’ve only played one of the characters though
Just didn’t get on with the whole disposable mechanical arm thing, didn’t like that my abilities kept changing up on me out of my control
5 is the only one I haven’t played yet so cannot really make a comment there, but you can check the older ones like HD collection. It has the first three games.
By the way I didn’t mention earlier but Ys series with nightmare difficulty could be a nice action for you. They have a boss-rush mode where you only fight the bosses.
Binding of Isaac for sure. Been playing on and off since I was in high school and there is just so much content there and new crazy synergies to find. Across all platforms I have well over a thousand hours. Hoping I can 100% it some day!
Great story. It’s on GOG. Beyond a Steel Sky is the sequel, released a few years ago. Kinda sad, but really great, too. Made by the creators of the original from the 90s, and has an in-game commentary track!
Of course, since it’s not out, we can’t say if it’ll be a good game or not, but it looks good, and is a colourful looking soulslike. (Which I am looking forward to myself)
The only soulslike that’s reasonably flashy yet simple enough that comes to mind is Code Vein
It’s slightly more cartoony than black desert, but has a high degree of character customization.
Story’s fine, but not required.
Combat was cool. I found it fine even on a bluetooth controller. Didn’t get massively frustrated with input lag.
Character builds can vary quite a lot, and are mostly viable. I played a glass cannon and my friend played a tank. They worked just fine alone or together. On that note, the coop is serviceable.
