    Such a huge disappointment after coming from 4u:
    Only 2 new areas,
    Under 20 new monsters, No Apex at all, which is harder than the new implementation, Overall not as challenging as older titles, No endgame to speak of anywhere, especially after coming from 4us creative endgame approach I figured they could really do something special here, but nothing, Got rid of Rampages so the    Such a huge disappointment after coming from 4u:

    Got rid of Rampages so the weapons u spent time crafting in Rise are now worthless,
    No cross save between PC and Switch,
    With how it currently is at the end of the game, it's completely unfinished,
    Several iconic G Rank monsters are nowhere to be found,
    I honestly expected much more, but at the end of the day like I said this expansion is completely unfinished    … Expand

    La debacle en cuanto a dificultad de la saga Monster Hunter toca techo en esta expansión. 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.… Expand

    Ich habe mittlerweile MR67 erreicht und bin sehr von dem Inhalt der 40€ teuren Erweiterung enttäuscht.. Lediglich eine handvoll von neuen Monstern ist drin. 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!

    There is just much to talk about this expansion.

    The base game had issues but now I am only here to talk about the issues of the expansion.
    Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak introduced about 17 new monsters from about 6 of them are just variants. 7 of them are returning monsters and the 4 are new. It is about 10 monsters less than what was in Iceborne. Two new locales from which only one is in some way good and the other one is just very lacking.
    One thing I did not really like about Rise or it's expansions in the very beginning was the way how urgent quests are introduced to you. In MH4U, you will be given one quest which introduces a new monster to fight. This way you won't have to complete these key quests in order to unlock an urgent quest and repeat defeating the same monsters over and over. This is really present in the expansion, where the new content is unlocked only at the very latest parts of the expansion.
    It was really dull to repeat such things, especially when the game had removed all the additional things that could have made the thing more difficult. No more did you even have to find the monster, the monster is already found for you or no longer you had to prepare for going into the cold with hot drinks. It is just the thing that you go there, defeat the monster and then it's done.
    Anyway the game was fun despite many issues, until the biggest issue was introduced. The biggest issue in my opinion is the fact of how the game is being updated. The game is unfinished and the content that was supposed to be there is missing at launch. They add features that were supposed to be there at launch. Though it is not as bad as what it was with the base game, where they added the final boss and ending later. It is still the reason why I stopped playing the game. The content that is missing is just variant monsters. The first update was just the worst. They keep recycling content from the previous game and no one really cares except I. I will not see a long run for the title if they won't be adding anything that is really new. They are using the fact that some players were not able to own MHW and experience it's content as an excuse for recycling same assets over and over. The game feels hollow because of this and if it goes on like this the game's roster of monsters will just be the strangest. Most of the monsters from the game will just be variants. It just feel weird and not fun at all. It is so lazy. This game had the potential to introduce more Frontier monsters or something big but instead we just get recycled content from a technologically more advanced title.    … Expand

    All in all, Sunbreak's endgame has more depth, and obviously there's more challenge here too. It brings about creative new creatures to fight and creative new characters to fight alongside. You just may have a hard time convincing your friends to clear their cobwebs to return and fight alongside you too! [Issue #62 – November/December 2022, p. 25]

    If you’ve finished Rise through and through, this expansion is something you will deeply cherish. A continuation of the adventure, filled with new challenges and content. Even old material is not simply recycled but given a new life. If only it was a bit cheaper…

    Monster Hunter Rise was a fast, frenetic entry into the long-standing series, and Sunbreak improved even further on it. This title update is the first of many, according to Capcom. If you want to enjoy Monster Hunter at its flashiest, speediest, and by far its most crazy, Rise and its update Sunbreak are more than perfect for you.
