    When I wrote a review for this game on Switch, I said the only thing keeping it from being a 10 was the low framerate. Well, the PC version doesn't have the low framerate problem so here we are!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Нус, поиграл я в ваш райс после ворлда(+айсборн). И знаете что? Мне понравился райс. Серьезно попробуйте и поиграйте, да управление неудобное с прутожуками, но чинится лишь переназначением на другую клавишу. Не понимаю людей которые ноют за графон, вот реально что вы ожидали от порта со свича? Уровня графона ворлда когда он и так делался под пк? Тем более капком и так уже пообещали выпустить потом пак 4к текстур. Да и неужели вам удобно играть в ворлд с его поломанным коопом? Когда приходилось сначала идти по одному и смотреть сранные катсцены? Я не думаю что да, а если и да то вы мазохист, в райсе же это наконец исправили. А как же еще починенные ветки прокачки и крафта оружия? Когда в ворлде ты сначала должен в отдельном карл меню! Скрафтить предмет, а только потом и только потом иди улучшать его в другом.
    В общем в итоге я советую игру, да у нее есть минусы, по типу того же графона, но серьезно если сравнить ворлд на старте, то райс все же получше будет.    … Expand

    i have to compensate here, because there are still too many negative reviews standing that are made because of a technical issue and not reviewing the game itself, while now in july 2022 those issues are solved so its not fair the game gets a lower rating anymore because of that. i came to tell you dont listen to those, because people are butthurt they give the game a zero, which makes noi have to compensate here, because there are still too many negative reviews standing that are made because of a technical issue and not reviewing the game itself, while now in july 2022 those issues are solved so its not fair the game gets a lower rating anymore because of that. i came to tell you dont listen to those, because people are butthurt they give the game a zero, which makes no sense, at least give it a 5 if you dont like it. ive checked out the negative reviews, and people are even rating the gameplay because its "clunky" and "you cant even walk and shoot at the same time"..... while this is actually because your build sucks and you use a weapon that lacks the ability/skills to be more mobile (google; evade extender and recoil for bowguns, it depends on the weapon AND EVEN AMMO TYPE if you can walk and shoot or not) so they are actually giving false information also!! they dont even know how to play the game but their review counts on the metacritic score!!!?? . besides that i had the game since release on pc, played it on my old coming from 2009 pc and on my new 2021 system, and i never had technical issues at all.
    my real rating, compared to a lot of other famous games with high scores, would be a 9/10. for example i have 40 hours in God of War and im done with that game, while i have 200+ with MH Rise and im still playing it. i think at a lot of points this MH game is better than world, i have a lot more fun especially in online multiplayer with MH Rise than with MH World, and since june the expansion Sunbreak has been released, Rise has gotten even better, like twice as big content wise. its a must play game, even if youre not a Monster Hunter fan, this game definitly deserves a place among the best games ever made. Even while the graphics on pc may not be top notch, it still looks amazing because of great design. This game is making me get a lot of new steam friends which no other game on steam does. And that alone is already just great, says a lot about how much fun people can have playing this.    … Expand

    I love this game. Why? Simply because after i had over 500 hours in MHW, i got bored and thought, hey imma just buy the new title. And its so good because the game isnt really focused on the story as much as MHW, wich i like. There are so many new monster. Worth Buying!

    Go and watch a youtube video about the game and draw your own conclusions, because honestly I haven't seen so much hate towards a game with solid mechanics for a long time. Don't expect an objective critique from the haters.

    For my part I can say that this release of rise is spectacular in every aspect, but if this is your first game and you don't click with it, unfortunately the franchise is not for you. But please, just because I hate a game or don't like it doesn't mean it's bad. I give zelda a 10, but I don't like the game! so I don't know why leave a negative comment on a game that is good but you just don't like it or won't even play it.

    A really solid port of a fun game. Just got to HR3 last night, I'm excited to grind out gear and play with friends on PC while we wait for the new expansion to come out. Only reason I didn't give a 10/10 is for the $170 of microtransactions at launch.

    A really good point to get into the series.
    Unlike World, it's not bogged down by too many tutorials, a crowded hub and slow resource gathering.
    The mount and wire bugs add a lot to the traversal and exploration feels better than ever.
    It looks horrible, though.

    This game has so much content, lots of amazing monsters to hunt, great and lots of places, tons of cool gear and the combat is faster and more convenient than in World, is not MHW 2 but stands on its own as an amazing game with lots of quality of life improvements + faster combat, a must buy indeed.

    Good PC version for a really good MH game.

    Ever since Capcom started using the new modern RE Engine, with RE VII, we knew it was a very versatile engine with lots of potential and scalability, and the games that came after quite proved that point, on all systems. The Nintendo Switch needed a good, new Monster Hunter game, and MH World wasn’t going happen over there because, frankly,    Good PC version for a really good MH game.

    Ever since Capcom started using the new modern RE Engine, with RE VII, we knew it was a very versatile engine with lots of potential and scalability, and the games that came after quite proved that point, on all systems.

    The Nintendo Switch needed a good, new Monster Hunter game, and MH World wasn’t going happen over there because, frankly, World still looks amazing today, especially at max settings and high resolutions, on PC, and it’s quite demanding too.

    With MH Rise, that’s what Capcom did, a bespoke Nintendo Switch game, that plays very well, but looks substantially lower quality compared to World, yet plays amazingly well, the animations are quite good and monsters look greater than ever, especially in the way they move and animate.

    On PC, MH Rise gets some visual upgrades in the form of better quality textures, mainly, but overall the geometrical quality of most assets remains quite similar to the Switch version, but being able to increase the resolution and frame-rates is a big bonus too.

    On the Performance side of things, the game is quite easier on the hardware compared to MH World, and it is able to run at stable 60 FPS, 4K resolution, on my Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 3060 Ti, and pretty close to 120 FPS at 1620p DLDSR, everything maxed of course.
    Being a port from a Switch game, another advantage is that the game is able to perform quite well on 4 core CPUs, like my secondary system which has an i5 4690K and a GTX 1070, and on this PC the game is able to run at 60 FPS and more even at 1440p, so I believe a lot of players will be able to enjoy good and smooth performance in this game.

    One bug/issue in this game, still not fixed as of the posting of this review, is the Resolution Scale (known as Image Quality in the options): 100% Scale is actually doing 75% internal resolution, which I confirmed by manually counting the pixels on screen with basic geometry / math; and then 150% Scale is actually 112.5% over native resolution, so there’s no easy way to do native resolution, but I reckon for now that the closest way is just setting the scale to 150%, and the game will be slightly downsampled.

    Controls and Keybinds are excellent on Keyboard and Mouse, for the most part, I believe the mouse still has this really, really tiny deadzone, but it feels better than in the Demo, for sure, so I have no major issues with it.
    There’s one single key I’ve found I cannot map, which is ALT, but it’s no big deal for me, I have plenty more keys to map, and a simple macro or remap via software can fix that issue, too.
    I am also a left handed player, and I can map the whole right side of the keyboard with no issues, arrow keys included, which is excellent.

    Now that I have spent more than 70 hours on Rise, I can say I enjoy its more fast paced combat, movement mechanics and overall feel, compared to World; the latter is still an excellent game, with lots of content, but Rise feels so good with the new improvements to movement and fluid animations, and high frame-rates, that it’s truly a joy to play on PC.

    I have high hopes for the next big entry in the franchise, if they use the best parts of Rise, RE Engine, better movement mechanics, a bit more fast paced than World, but with the amazing graphics of World, only even better, can’t wait for what comes next, and for the Sunbreak expansion this summer, for sure.

    I am not a veteran on the series at all, but I feel that with both World and Rise on PC, we have a good base to please most types of MH fans, and a lot to expect for future titles and content, which is great.

    Monster Hunter Rise is a very enjoyable and fun game, one that proves you don’t need the absolute best Graphics in the industry to have a solid experience; the game is just really well done, and getting into a hunt is so straightforward and fast here on PC that it’s just a fantastic experience, as it should be.    … Expand

    what to say about this game, I started it undervaluing it because of the issue of how the monsters are assembled now and I didn't even buy it on its switch output (I've played mh, mhfu, mhf2, mh3u, mh4u, mhgxx, mhw) but at Seeing that it came out on PC, I decided to buy it on sale and really my few expectations changed radically.

It has a gameplay like no other and it's obvious since each mh game has something different, then its detail in the fights, the graphic optimization, it's too good, the multiplayer felt fresher and faster, the design of the new monsters passed from not liking to being fascinated as soon as I fight against them, and that style of mh3rd but more and more involved in the oriental style is incredible, in short, a monster hunter worthy of playing and that in my opinion is on par with the mhw, that if, comparing it with the mhw without dlc, since the rise lacks a bit for its dlc that you will see but in general a very good experience.… Expand

    Amazing gameplay, the weapons themselves are equal or better than worlds thanks to the new moves and updates. Though I do miss the sliding and wall running attacks in world. I prefer Worlds monsters slightly but Rise's are great as well, a lot of the new ones especially are very interesting. However the rest of the game pales in comparison to World. The story is much less compelling. IAmazing gameplay, the weapons themselves are equal or better than worlds thanks to the new moves and updates.

I like the design of the characters but there isn't much character development or attachment like there is in world. Not that there's much there either but at least there's some. The designs of the maps in Rise are much worse, but having the dogs and the wirebugs makes traversing them a lot cooler. Not only faster but just being able to go anywhere on the map is awesome. Rampage mode is meh, village is way too easy. Hub is easier than world as well but a bit better. However none of these things are a big deal, because the gameplay is so great I'd say it's only slightly below world as the gameplays the main draw in Monster Hunter for me.… Expand

    Played every MH title since MHFU. Rise is a little simplified, even after World, but as a fan of the series, I enjoyed it.
    Negative: I miss the times when it was you vs. the monster, sometimes a Palico showed up. Now it feels like too many things are happening at once, especially a 4-person MP. We have: 4 players, 4 palicoes, 4 mounts, and the screen becomes an unrecognizable mess.    Played every MH title since MHFU.

    Wirebug and Palamute makes MHR fast and fun. Rampage is boring.
    Great soundtracks, great improvement on crafting (less material needed), mining (only 1 hit needed).
    Please add cross-play and cross-save to your next title.
    Played 400+ hours on switch, this port on Steam Deck gets steady 60 FPS. I enjoy it a lot.

    A decent follow-up to Monster Hunter World. It has a cool ninja theme with new movement and new moves for all the weapons. Story is unimportant and the new/old monsters are still great and the reason i keep coming back. But it lacks in overall endgame giving me less reason to keep playing. I recommend this game.

    Monster Hunter Rise is a brilliant addition to the Monster Hunter lineup. It delivers incredible combat with newly added monsters and highly-desired mobility. However, it does suffer from messy systems, a mediocre story and can become quite grindy. Despite these flaws though, I have had countless hours of fun and will continue to do so. The co-op aspect just adds even more enjoyment to an already enjoyable game. I just wish the system UI had been redone for PC.
