Astera – Monster Hunter World
If you have ever played Monster Hunter World, then you have spent a lot of time in Astera eating meals, upgrading your weapons and armor, and just running around waiting for your friends to accept your quests.
One of the best things about Astera is that it’s very lively. There are lots of NPCs that look like they’re trying to get somewhere and do something. You feel like you’re a part of a colony that just landed in a new continent.
There is always lots to see and do like planting herbs, buying equipment from the various vendors or even chilling out in your room (that you can slightly customize).
The armory is always forging something new, the cooks making something delicious-looking, and the handler is always… doing nothing… as usual. The world feels very alive, besides the handler, she is useless.
You can also visit the Gathering Hub to hang out with other players or even your party members while you accept quests or do certain events. And hey, if you get bored, there is even an arm wrestling mini-game you can play.
