20 games, the closest and most played first.
What to consider
Summarized by AIMonster Hunter Wilds fans like tracking something huge, then turning its parts into better gear, ideally with friends. These picks share that loop: Monster Hunter Rise is the closest relative, WILD HEARTS offers a fresh hunting twist, theHunter goes realistic, and Saints Row and Sea of Thieves bring open-world co-op play.
1. MONSTER HUNTER RISE
Best for fans who want more of the same hunting with a different map set.
182 votes
Same series, so the hunt feels familiar. You become a hunter, explore brand new maps and use a variety of weapons against fearsome monsters, following a new storyline with online co-op. The PC release adds visual and performance optimizations.
Standout features
- Range of hunting weapons
- New maps
- Online co-op hunting
Hunting giant beasts is still the point, but the tools differ. Technology gives you a fighting chance against the Kemono, creatures charged with the power of nature, and you take them on alone or with friends in seamless co-op. The setting is Azuma, where nobody remembers why the creatures began their rampage, so the hunt carries a mystery.
Standout features
- Tech-assisted hunting
- Seamless co-op
- Nature-infused Kemono
3. Saints Row: The Third
Best for friends who want an over-the-top open world with character customization.
69 votes
Gone is the monster hunt, and what stays is open-world co-op and a character you shape. The Saints have gone from street gang to household brand name, and the Syndicate, a criminal fraternity, takes notice. It plays for comedy as a third-person shooter.
Standout features
- Open-world Stilwater
- Comedy tone
- Character customization
4. theHunter: Call of the Wild™
Best for players who want a quiet, patient hunt in believable wilderness.
111 votes
Hunting turns calm and realistic. You roam an open world of regions and biomes, either alone through the campaign or with friends, and the game is updated regularly in collaboration with the community. Nature, stealth and a relaxing pace make it a calmer pick between bigger monster hunts.
Standout features
- Diverse regions and biomes
- Single-player campaign
- Community-driven updates
5. Sea of Thieves: 2026 Edition
Best for groups who want freedom to decide their own goals together.
181 votes
Not a hunt, but a shared open world with no set roles. You can voyage as a group or sail solo, exploring, fighting and looting as pirates, and you may meet other crews along the way. If your hunting group wants a break from fights, this gives them a world to wander and plunder at their own pace.
Standout features
- No set roles
- Sailing and looting
- Meet other crews
