2. Monster Hunter: World – Average Metacritic Score: 91
Having sold five million copies in its first week, Monster Hunter: World has been a commercial hit as well as a critical one. As is the premise in the other games in the series, you take on the role of a hunter who travels to a new continent to hunt and slay monsters to upgrade your armor and gear. Each monster has a unique look and way of moving, and you must take them out with your variety of weapons.
With the story, gameplay, and tutorials improving dramatically over previous entries, Monster Hunter: World is the perfect place for series newcomers to jump in. Of course, the deep upgrade and gear systems may confuse at times, but the world in Capcom’s game is enticing enough that you strive to understand everything that is in front of you. You get a real sense of achievement from taking down the tougher monsters, and the upgrade system is rewarding.
