It's well into May now and I am finally starting my monthly lists. First off, starting with video games and I will change the format a bit this time. I will be listing overall video games instead of just those released on PC as I now have three platforms for gaming (PC, 3DS & PS4).

The game features cross-platform play between the PlayStation 4 and Windows versions.
Similar to the previous games in the Street Fighter series, Street Fighter V features a side-scrolling fighting gameplay system. The game also introduces the "V-Gauge", which builds as the player receives attacks and adds three new skills. The game features 16 characters at launch, with four of them being new to the series. A story mode and additional characters were added through updates and downloadable content.

In the game, the player takes the role of a Hunter, tasked to hunt down and either kill or trap monsters that roam in one of several environmental spaces. If successful, the player is rewarded through loot consisting of parts from the monster and other elements that are used to craft weapons and armor, amongst other equipment. The game's core loop has the player crafting appropriate gear to be able to hunt down more difficult monsters, which in turn provide parts that lead to more powerful gear. Players may hunt alone, or can hunt in cooperative groups of up to four players via the game's online services.
[ Wow, January was a huge month for fighting games, it seems. The much anticipated 'Arcade Edition' of Street Fighter V was released in January as well as 'Dragon Ball FighterZ', the fighting game for which the fans of 'Dragon Ball Franchise' have been waiting for a long time. It also features another big name in 'Monster Hunter: World' and also a few small scale yet quite enjoyable games too. ]
