    Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak was already beyond amazing when it debuted last year, and the PlayStation and Xbox versions arrive with three title updates included making it even better. While it is unfortunate that Capcom couldn't launch them with all title updates included, Sunbreak is an essential, and I can now recommend Rise without caveats on PS5.

    A huge DLC that significantly improves the main game in several ways. Monster hunters don't have much to wish for here - a few online friends are still highly recommended.

    Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is a great expansion that makes the game bigger than it already is. It adds more hours of gameplay, plus new content in the form of two new regions, moves, monsters, and equipment. It is a title accessible to all players, although focused on fans of the franchise.

    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.

    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.

    The Sunbreak expansion only serves to elevate the already excellent experience that Monster Hunter Rise features, with a slew of new monsters, locales, armor, weapons, mechanics, and quality of life updates. It builds on nearly every aspect of the base game, without compromising anything in between. Just know that there is a high barrier to entry, especially for non-hardcore fans, in terms of price, difficulty, and grind.

    Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak extends the monster-hunting adventure while lacking any significant innovation of the base game’s foundation.

    If you like non-stop hunting action with nigh-limitless skill ceiling or just a really fun multi-player experience then this is the game forIf you like non-stop hunting action with nigh-limitless skill ceiling or just a really fun multi-player experience then this is the game for you, all 14 weapons have been fine-tuned to the max with many new additions to master to make you feel like the ultimate badass hunter, & the cast of monsters is probably some of the best in the series, sure a lot of them are older ones but they've been given new tricks & a fresh HD look, everyone being picked from all sorts of different MH games to give this game a unprecedented variety & it's also really nice that they've paid attention even to the single-player side of things & with the free updates there's a lot of new content to tackle.
    The story for Sunbreak is some of the best in the series, sure it doesn't break any real conventions but the characters in this game is a new highlight for the series, overall this game is probably a 9 out of 10 but due to all this review bombing I'm giving it a 10    … Expand

My only issue is that it would be awesome if we didn't get just 3 TU. At least it seems that we'll get the rest as a batch at once which would be great. The rest is just outstanding, the roster is perfect and the endgame while being grindy it is very well designed.… Expand

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 I played this crap before World I would never have played another Monster Hunter.… Expand
