Our top pick of the week starting May 20?
Dauntless
21/05/2019
Monster Hunter World certainly took the world by storm but it still had one or two limitations due to it still being a Monster Hunter title. That’s where Dauntless comes in.
After a pretty successful Kickstarter this multiplayer open world monster hunting RPG looks like it will be heaps of fun and plenty of character in it’s art design.
