Dauntless player attacking Behemoth.

Dauntless was built from the ground up to challenge the Monster Hunter franchise, and it succeeded in doing so. If features massive weapons, even bigger bosses, and the addictive loop of preparing for a long hunt and engaging in a tough, drawn-out fight with an intimidating monster. One of the big draws was that it is completely free, like Rocket League and Genshin Impact, but those are also so popular because they're cross-platform games. There's nothing quite as thrilling as gathering up a group of hunters to take down a giant beast, but if you can't due to playing on different platforms, it will quickly take the wind out of your sails.

Dauntless also includes cross-progression using the in-game account to transfer your progress to any platform. If you ever feel like picking the game up on another console or PC, there's nothing stopping you from continuing the hunt right where you left off.
