It's hard to think of Pokemon in the style of Breath of the Wild in practicality. Sure, Wud Wud Treasure anyone can edit a screenshot to have Gyarados in a BOTW lake or Rapidash racing across the field, but isn't that just what the Wild Area is? The illusion of an open world, the type that would look good in screenshots, but without meaning or purpose. Without any heart or direction, BOTW would not be the same game. It gives you freedom to go wherever you want, but it also provides contours across the map to steer you towards towns, it makes sure each location is thematically linked, and you often need to hit multiple landmarks to secure the tools and ingredients to reach the next one. Even though I'm not the biggest fan of it, I have to admire the level of design on show here. It's not a level I think Pokemon can match, and that's before you introduce the much more complicated issue of where you put the Pokemon and how you offer freedom while ensuring players don't meet their doom at the feathers of an overpowered Hawlucha 40 minutes into the g
Wild Hearts comes as the latest game to join EA's line-up of “EA Originals,” a publishing initiative between EA and other development studios. EA has already seen massive success with several games published through the EA Originals program including 2021 Game of the Year It Takes Two and Coldwood Interactive's Unravel . The unique mix of giant monsters and technology will look to set Wild Hearts apart from its inspiration when it launches early next y

Doug Cockle is even back to voice the famous grumpy dad from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (as well as the other games and source material book seri
And just like all crafting systems in the game, the one for cooking is complex and difficult, needing to balance progress towards completing the food with the durability and quality of the ingredients and the final product. If the player is willing to put in the work, crafting high-end raid food and selling it can be quite a profitable endea
Maybe one day we'll get a full open-world Pokemon game, and maybe it'll be great. For now though, a Monster Hunter structure seems like the best balance, and means Pokemon Legends: Arceus can be Pokemon's next great leap without falling over its own feet Kleavor still looks bad tho
I’m not a huge fan of Breath of the Wild as a game . I am, however, a humongous fan of Breath of the Wild as a world that exists on the Nintendo Switch and could be filled with Pokemon. Pokemon Legends: Arceus was supposed to be the delivery of ‘Pokemon but Breath of the Wild’, but it now seems to be more like ‘Pokemon but Monster Hunter: Rise’. That’s disappointing - Breath of the Wild is much closer to my hypothetical perfect Pokemon game than Monster Hunter - but it might just be for the b
One of the most lauded party games in recent memory, Overcooked brings all the stress and hecticness of a real kitchen environment directly into the player's living room . Players must work together to prepare meals for their guests, dealing with shifting environments and many, many ingredie
The Witcher series has become one of the biggest fantasy franchises around thanks to the success of CD Projekt Red's The Witcher 3 and Neflix's The Witcher series. One of the many reasons for the series' success is its iconic protagonist, Geralt of Rivia. Geralt's dry wit, hard exterior, and stable of interesting relationship dynamics have helped him find a place in the hearts of The Witcher 's many f
The reveal trailer for Wild Hearts shows off a breathtaking world steeped in Japanese architecture and mythology. The game's first video introduces players to the world of Azuma, a lush landscape filled with a variety of unusual creatures. Wild Hearts looks to follow in a similar hunting gameplay style to Monster Hunter , showing off some of the massive beasts players will fight throughout their adventure. Some highlights of the initially revealed “Kemono” include a colossal boar covered in moss and algae, a giant squirrel that causes trees to grow, and a wolf in a frozen tun
Another place that Geralt would feel right at home in is the Nioh series. The Nioh games see players fighting through hordes of spirits in Souls-like combat through a variety of dodges and weapons. Geralt would be a great addition to Nioh as his nimble fighting style would mix well with the series' heavy emphasis on dodging and parrying enemy attacks. Geralt would also fit right into the game's dark universe while also bringing some levity through his dry commentary on the strange world. Geralt likely wouldn't fit into Nioh 's historic setting, but with how impressively successful Nioh 2 was , a crossover could be in the cards for Nioh and The Witcher series' futu
A major focus of Wild Hearts ' reveal trailer that looks to set the game apart from Monster Hunter comes with the emphasis on technology. Players will be able to use a variety of technology and buildable items to aid them in battles with monsters, including building blocks to help players gain altitude. Some other inventions the players can use to aid them in battle include a helicopter-like propeller to hover over larger enemies and a hammer catapult. The trailer also teases the ability to upgrade players' weapons with a variety of effe
