    Not my favorite iteration of Monster Hunter but still pretty fun.
    Combat is mostly about using your wirebugs.
    Performance is okay.
    Overall a very solid game.

    I have been a huge Monster Hunter fan for about 8 years now and was expecting another experience like the previous game Monster Hunter World but was pleasantly surprised by far more than that. The game is far more fleshed out in terms of Gameplay, Replayability, and Mechanics than all of the MH games combined.

    Monster Hunter Rise

    Wow this game is so much fun I have around 100 hours on the game and I still can’t stop but there are some problems in the game Pros: -The music is next level -The gameplay and the movement is just addicting I cant stop using the wire bugs and riding the palamute -The map design is superb and the fact that everything around the map such as beetles and    Monster Hunter Rise

    Wow this game is so much fun I have around 100 hours on the game and I still can’t stop but there are some problems in the game

    Pros:

    -The music is next level

    -The gameplay and the movement is just addicting I cant stop using the wire bugs and riding the palamute

    -The map design is superb and the fact that everything around the map such as beetles and bugs are all so useful for your hunt just shows how far the team went in terms of making the player travel more around and looking everywhere to find all kinds of secrets and power ups

    -The weapons are similar to the way they were in world but so much better the devs just took the weapons and made them so much better plus you can change your skills and the wire bug skills are just wow

    -The new monsters are super cool I really liked the whole yokai design

    -The armors look fantastic and real as if they were really made by the monsters you hunt

    -The new rampage mode had me worried at first but I got hooked I found myself just doing the rampage missions non stop
    The new armor skills they added and the whole re work they did in comparison to world is just superb

    Cons:

    -Although good the gameplay is clunky at some moments

    -the game is beautiful but the switch is still a very weak console and I sometimes found myself in a cave or near a lot of monsters and the fps drops just made me want to turn the game off

    -the lack of end game because of the pandemic is just awful again I know that the team is not at fault here and they are releasing the missing content at the end of April but the game as Is right now is missing a lot of monsters and an ending to the hub story plus the village story just feels weak and short

    in conclusion the game although lacking at some areas is such a fun experience even after I finished my build and every mission in the game I still want to come back and play more so my final score to monster hunter rise is a 9 out of 10 I really recommend this game for veterans and new comers alike    … Expand

    Haven't tried other MH games but it is a really good game for the new hunters. Could be a bit more overewhelming with all the weapons at the first beginning, but super fun if you really pick one of your favourite and get into it. Well worthed the time and price!

    An excellent Switch-Game! Very good graphics and performance, much to do and a solid Multiplayer-Experience. Unfortunately too many Monsters from MHW included, feels therefore a lot like a Spin-Off, imo. However, for a Switch-Game it's still a 10

    Like it better than World and might be equal to MHGU for me.

    My first MH game is MHGU and that's where my love for this franchise exist and grow. Then, I enter MHW but somehow it feels like a complete different game. Spent 30ish hours and still cannot get the feel of Monster Hunter in MHW. Then, I decides to enter MHR right away and it just feels like home for me.

    Definitely they get back to the traditional formula but with QoL from World and it's just delicious. The combat especially is just wonderful, everything feels way faster and I love the adrenaline from the fast combat due to the addition of wire bugs (Insane!).

    The graphics is great to be honest remembering it being released for Switch and I never feel there's any important or significant compromises that can affect how you view the game. If you compare it to MHW, you are just nitpicking. Monster Hunter is always about gameplay, graphics is just a bonus for me.

    One thing that I just can't put this on top of GU is because the fact that you only have 1 village, Kamura. In GU you have 4 villages, well not big but it just feels nice as every village has a different theme and feel to it. On top of that, the amount of content in MHR probably only around 30-40% of MHGU. I spent around 70 hours in MHR and basically I finish all the missions (excluding Event, Rampage and Arena Quests). In GU, I've spent 135 hours and just barely play a little content of High Rank. Yes, I've just entered High Rank after 135 hours in the game.

    Last, one epic moment in Rise is when the OST of Proof of a Hero kicks in when fighting against Narwa and Ibushi make me feels invincible and aggressive all of sudden. Completely brilliant composer.

    Overall it's a great MH game and I prefer this one over MHW. Will definitely purchase Sunbreak when its on sale (too expensive on Switch).    … Expand

    Gli attacchi fil di seta funzionano bene nelle meccaniche di gioco.

    The game can be very daunting at first while trying to understand the multiple mechanics and weapons that are available from the start. However, after understanding the basics you can enjoy a well-crafted game.

    my first monster hunter game ever. Great series with solid gameplay design. No wonder why Capcom dominates action game genre for years. Storytelling are below average line though. Wish they could work more on that in future releases.

    For people who are with Monster Hunter seriws longer time it's common knowledge Capcom always releases each title in pretty much two waves.

Base game which focuses and experiments with various new features and mechanics followed by expansion (ultimate version) which builds on the base game eliminating major flaws while outlining the best aspects of the base game. Therefore, I'll judge it in this fashion as "just a base game". And oh boy. This game truly delivers one of the best base game experiences. I'd say only 4th generation (Monster Hunter 4 and Monster Hunter X/Generations) had more memorable base game experience imho. Truly great base to build upon and fully recommended to try out on Switch as one of the best games on the system.… Expand

    The most refined monster hunter experience. This game took everything that world did right and just made the combat more fast pace, the hunting quicker with the addition of mounts, and made it all available on the most portable console. This game is a must for switch owners and monster hunter fans. This is probably the best monster hunter experience outside of iceborne. Definitely recommend this.

    Rise takes the best aspects of its predecessors builds upon them in the best way possible. The fluidity of the wirebugs adds mobility while the same heft is still felt behind each weapon.

The rampage mode is a nice change of pace and the wyvern riding is a significant upgrade from the previous mounting feature. Also the dango cutscenes are cute as heck.

    Several hours in. Already with the price tag at 50% OFF

    + Fun fights
    + immersive world

    - fights feel a bit more boring than I remember it. Maybe difficulty and grandioseness of the game scales later -/+ more mechanics than I’m using now which is fine because it allows for both hardcore and beginner players to hop on. I just can’t help but feel there’s better ways to do what I do.

    My absolute favorite game series and another banger added to the list of fantastic monster hunter titles. If you're a fan of action games and want a game to play with friends(or meet new ones) look no further as MONSTER HUNTER allows you to shred massive creatures to pieces and carve their @$$ up to make a fresh new coat and bigger stick to smack with.

    Monster Hunter Rise is absolutely phenomenal. It will be a worthy contender for GOTY but could easily be discussed as Game of the System. [Issue #4, p. 49]

    I’m impressed by how well the developers thought this game through. Rise simultaneously improves the formula used in World and makes Monster Hunter more friendly towards newcomers. It makes great use of Switch’s nature and by clearly separating the multiplayer from the single-player campaign, it ensures you’re going to have fun regardless of the circumstances. Apart from one subpar mode (which imitates a tower defense), it’s an amazing game. [06/2021, p.42]

    Rise has taken note of the franchise’s most successful elements, and refined them into the best Monster Hunter yet. By continuing the streamlining that Generations and World started, Rise has focused on making the actual hunting the most engaging it has ever been.
