If you've yearned to explore a rugged wilderness and battle beasts many times your size with a ridiculously big sword, the Monster Hunter series was pretty much the only game in town. Rivals have struggled to put their own spin on the genre's bombastic combat and obsessively-customizable gear. This year, Koei Tecmo and Electronic Arts teamed up to try to take down Capcom's juggernaut franchise. Their new game, Wild Hearts, succeeds with a leaner formula ripe for newcomers that's almost — but not quite — as satisfying for veteran hunters.

..."Build karakuri
Wild Hearts distinguishes itself with magical karakuri, six simple wooden contraptions that range from crates to torches to springs. Like in Fortnite, crafting them is nearly instantaneous and soon becomes second-nature. You can also combine basic karakuri to make larger structures like bulwarks and traps. You'll learn these recipes spontaneously in battle when the game decides the situation calls for them, demonstrating the power of a well-timed build. At times, I felt like I was playing Killer Instinct as a I desperately rushed a karakuri combo to throw a barricade up between me and a charging monstrosity."...
