    The Arena sucks. It made me hate the game. Why does my hunter attack off to 45 degree angles when I try to attack straight? Why are so many enemy attack moves impossible to dodge? Why is a midtier arena quest so much difficult than the Apex fights from the base game? Literally this **** monster is the real end boss and should go kill the elder dragons wtf. Why are fights so scripted? If IThe Arena sucks. It made me hate the game. Why does my hunter attack off to 45 degree angles when I try to attack straight?

    Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is the definitive experience in the franchise and packs dozens of hours of content into an all-new expansion. Powerful creatures, unique weapons, special abilities, and many interactions add up to a relatively accessible adventure, despite the insistence on a large amount of information.

    For new players, the more logical difficulty curve that Sunbreak presents, with a meaningful endgame challenge now correct and present, means there has never been a better time to jump into Monster Hunter Rise. Similarly, for lapsed players who were eventually put off by how trivial things had become, Sunbreak provides the perfect excuse to jump back in. Whatever angle you’re approaching Sunbreak from, sharpen those blades – you’re going to need them.

    If you don't like Monster Hunter this expansion will not change your mind. However, if you do then this expansion is a must-buy. New Monsters and maps are a given but the updates to the switch skills, the follower system and various tweaks really add to the whole experience. Plus, with all the updates released so far already available, there is a massive amount of content here with more to come. Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak may not be perfect but it skirts incredibly close to it.
