    There are a lot of neat little touches here and there that make Sunbreak a fun all-around experience, even without the game-changer that was the Clutch Claw back in Iceborne. For Monster Hunter Rise fans still looking to grind out some armor for dozens of more hours, Sunbreak will definitely deliver on that front. But for the die-hard Monster Hunter fans out there that are looking for something a little different than the base game, there's not much new stuff to partake in this time around. Sunbreak feels like DLC for Monster Hunter Rise's Endgame rather than being a proper full-blown expansion.

    As the first expansion for the still relatively new Monster Hunter Rise, Sunbreak doesn't really bring much new beyond a new zone, story and monsters with the expected discarding of things that didn't work in the original game and slight refinement of those that did - without some bolder changes.

    This is an expansion that offers a number of small but noticeable adjustments that make life as a hunter, if not easier to survive, then at least easier to deal with. We get new monsters, new areas, and a lot of new equipment to play with. A solid expansion with new content.

    Like Rise , it could have been a great game, but way too easier, way too short too, only 17 new mobs and variants compared to iceborne 27Like Rise , it could have been a great game, but way too easier, way too short too, only 17 new mobs and variants compared to iceborne 27 added ones... a good expansion overall but the players have a massive advantage over the monsters like in Rise in terms of movement ... i did all solo cos with a group it's ay too easy , and that's my main reason i'm a bit sad about Rise and Sunbreak. but for newcomers it will be loved for sure.… Full Review »

De ser un juego hardcore en el que tenias que aprenderte las mecánicas de cada monstruo, farmear y llevar ítems y administrarlos bien, saber que un error te costaba morir y perder media barra de vida a tener todas las facilidades para poder convertir a los pobres monstruos en unos sacos de ostias. Ya sucedió en Word, en este se ve acentuado. Y tiene pinta de que va a ser la tónica de aquí en adelante. Otra saga de juegos que el mainstream me ha quitado.… Full Review »

Die Rüstungen sehen zwar schön aus, jedoch sind ihre Effekte absoluter Rotz. Ich würde niemanden empfehlen, die Erweiterung zu kaufen, da es sich einfach nicht lohnt.. 20€ ja, 40€ nein!… Full Review »
