    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.

    Es un juego arcade de matar monstruos con bastante contenido, si buscas una experencia monster hunter o iniciarte en la saga, es la peor opción entre todas, pues es de lejos la más alejada al espiritu de la saga. Me explicaria mejor, pero esta web no me deja (403:Forbidden)

    I really enjoyed the new game mechanics and I hope to see similar elements in the next generation. However, the game can be a bit repetitive at times. I believe it's definitely worth playing for fans of the series and newcomers alike.

    It's a fresh monster hunter with new mechanics that make it faster phased and exciting, but it also makes the game easier.

    Added siege mode is also not as exciting as you think, it loses the feel of how strong each monster suppose to be.

    All in all, it's a very good and polished game.

    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

    Monster Hunter Rise is a perfectly serviceable entry in a franchise that I have found so frustratingly and obstinately resistant to change.

    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!

    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.

    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

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

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.

    I wanted to like this game. On paper this would seem to be what I want. Action RPG where you go fight monsters and gear up to go on the next hunting expedition. Lot's of systems to dig into and work on. Instead what I found was an action game with some on the most cumbersome controls I've ever experienced, with barely any explanation of how to use the weapon appropriately.

    Every system    I wanted to like this game. On paper this would seem to be what I want. Action RPG where you go fight monsters and gear up to go on the next hunting expedition. Lot's of systems to dig into and work on. Instead what I found was an action game with some on the most cumbersome controls I've ever experienced, with barely any explanation of how to use the weapon appropriately.

    Every system in the game, from crafting and upgrading weapons, to training up your Palicoes and Palamutes, to just connecting with players for a hunt, is all just needlessly complicated. I went and watched hours of Youtube videos to try and parse all of this, finding out that there are tons of weapon moves that are never explained in the game, different scores on your Palicoes that you want to aim for, and levels of minutiae that would only be appealing to an accountant. Even the fastest weapon in the game feels unbelievably slow and clunky to play. Trying to chain combos to do anything just has such weird timing that you feel like you get trapped in an animation loop. Then you're just dodging around the monster waiting for it to reach the point in its cycle where you can actually do something. Everything about the game just feels like it's from an older era of games that I'm happy to leave behind.

    I understand people love these games, and had I experienced them back in the day maybe I'd feel similarly, but the sheer amount of effort necessary to get to passable with this just feels off. Overcoming the monster should feel like a triumph, but instead I just feel like I've finished some kind of obnoxious homework assignment. I don't hate the game, but it is not something I'm going to spend any more time on, especially with so many other great games available at the moment.

    For anyone thinking of picking this up I would highly suggest checking out some of the videos or the demo before buying, as the reviews don't really dig into the mountain you're trying to climb with this.    … Expand

    I don't understand why this game has so many positive reviews. I am not a huge monster hunter fan, but I played the PSP games and MH World and Rise feels like a significant step back in every category. After playing for almost 20 hours, I have not finished the village quests and honestly, I don't want to, now let me tell you why:

    Firstly, the music. Sweet mother of god please I am    I don't understand why this game has so many positive reviews. I am not a huge monster hunter fan, but I played the PSP games and MH World and Rise feels like a significant step back in every category. After playing for almost 20 hours, I have not finished the village quests and honestly, I don't want to, now let me tell you why:

    Firstly, the music. Sweet mother of god please I am begging you to include a soundtrack comprised of more than 30-second sound bytes that repeat endlessly for hours. The first thing I did, before even going on a hunt, was turn the music off completely. +1 for it being an option to turn that crap off, still not enough to make you a good game

    Secondly, the story. It May as well not be there, but no surprise there, it's monster hunter after all.

    Thirdly, the gameplay. Sucks genitals. Who in their right mind at Capcom thought it was a good idea to put out an action game like this WITHOUT A LOCK ON MECHANIC?! Its gotta be one of the most frustrating things in the world when you combine it with the fact that the hitboxes are inconsistent, clunky, and frankly make no sense. Critical hits seem to be random, sometimes they hit for 10 damage, sometimes 3, sometimes 1, sometimes it's like I hit a f'ing wall and am also a long-term alcoholic because I stumble for far too long before recovering. Additionally, the button delay. Screw you, you're not FromSoftware, you will not be able to make that fun in your game so please stop. The new mechanics the game advertises as a selling point are neat, but feel like something that would have been cool five years ago. Now that I think about it, thats a really good way to describe this game: "Would have been cool five years ago". What's that Capcom? I can essentially double jump and wall run? No way! It's like my balls dropped all over again! Whats that another time? I can ride a mount? Like a horse? Oh, not a horse? A mini horse? like a pony? Oh, you call it a palamute, totally a new mechanic. Perhaps I'm being a little too hard on the palamute, but then I remember he doesn't f'ing show up 90% of the time you hold down the button that's supposed to summon him. Again, I've been summoning mounts in games for over a decade, WTF?

    Lastly is just a general question: "why the hell do I care?". This game has no purpose. None at all. You drop into an, admittedly, very pretty hub, get some barebones information that doesn't make enough sense for it to be worth hearing, and then you proceed to do the same handful of tasks until you can't take it anymore and move on to a real game. Not to mention every design choice in this game is focused on frustrating the ever-living crap out of you and slowing you down. There's another review out there where someone mentions that "it's not harder, just more annoying", and man is that true. The game is painfully easy, and at the same time painfully frustrating. Everything mentioned before combined with the fact that it's the same stuff you're doing over and over again just makes the experience painfully frustrating. Like I said, im almost 20 hours in and I just feel like giving up after HR4 because whats the point? The starter armor they gave me is far better than anything I can craft (not to mention, if I wanted to craft it I would have to grind slaying the same monster I already killed endlessly), so the whole point of the game (crafting cool armor sets) seems superfluous.

    Thank god I bought this used, I am truly sorry for anybody who paid full price for what could ultimately be a mobile port of a once-great franchise. Play MH World, leave this on the shelf, it's not worth it.    … Expand

    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.

    One point off for stupid AI design of small monsters. One point off for treating weapons with shields so unfairly (not including sword & shield). One point off for dividing the original game into three parts and advertising two of them as “free updates”. Taking 3 points off a 12/10 game, I give this game a 9 out of 10.

    Got 400 hours in this game, abd with the upcoming G-Rank expantion that number will go up to AT LEAST 1000! I honestly think rise is the most FUN game of the series, not the best one or the most challenging, just fun. Flying around with the wirebugs is such a nice change of pace and the best single gimmick of any MH game IMO.

    the endgame is lacking, but i would be lying if i said that world's was any better, and at least it isnt al tedious and just straight up boring tempered monsters. The story is not very good, but no MH game has a good story since it is not the focus in the slightest. One of the best things about your MH is his goofyness and i was very sad to see it almost completely removed from the previous game in the series.
    The roaster is EXCELLENT, a lot of monster types and some of the best creature designs ever seen in the franchise makes any hunt different from the other! You will fight bird wyverns, elder dragons, flying wyverns, leviathans, fanged wyverns, fanged beasts, temnocerans and many more.
    Overall i have a few gripes with the game, like the complete failure that are solo rampages, and the lack of a good endgame, but would not vote it any lower nor any higher than this. 9/10 would hunt again    … Expand

    I've put 165 hours into this game and I can definitivley say it is best Switch multiplayer game. While I am a little biased because of my love for boss fights from any video game, this was my introduction into the franchise, which in turn has made me play the previous games in the series.

While I am a little biased because of my love for boss fights from any video game, this was my introduction into the franchise, which in turn has made me play the previous games in the series. What makes Rise stand out among it's predecessors, mainly 4 Ultimate and World, is it's wirebug system. No longer are you an immobile piece of brocolli with the insane manuevurability of the wirebug. It acts as an enhanced combo tool allowing special moves for each of the 14 wildly different weapons, while serving as a extremley fun grappling hook like device for you to swing around from wall to wall. My biggest gripes with the previous games in the franchise is the movement. The key to make a fun 3-D game is movement, with the massive verticality the various stages provide for the player mixing tremendously well with the enhanced movement options, even further emphasized with the edition of a Palamute, an adorable ridable dog (who is endlessly customizable) to assist you on hunts much like the Palico, but with an emphasis on speed. Throughout gameplay I was frequently switching between the 2 depending on the hunt and weapon. Gameplay is where any series shines the most and monster hunter has perfected since 4U. The 14 weapons each play so different from each other it's staggering how they snappy, tight, and powerful each one feels. Hunter customization is the bulk of what's going to keep you going to fight new monsters, enhancing your armor and skills to max out your arsenal using the monster's parts you receive from carving it against more monsters. I never found it boring going back with friends to slay a monster for one specific part because each of these barborous beasts fight so differently with such creative movesets, and jaw-dropping designs. The flagship Magnamalo is my particular favorite from this game's amazing rouge's gallery, with Narwa following closely, a much better line-up than World's cast that left so much more variety to be desired. Must-play for the Switch, has a perfect difficulty curve but if you're not feeling it I promise it's because you're not playing the right weapon.… Expand

    After the huge success of the previous entry in the series (MHW), Rise was set up to be the best game the series has seen with a massive speed boost and streamlining of the features that drew players to World.

Despite this, I'll admit I was kinda disappointed and overall it isn't something I'll consider playing again in a while- I'll split the review into separate parts to understand.

    Presentation- When I first saw the textures on the environments I was overall sceptical due to the very apparent downgrade to the graphics and while I can accept the theory that this is due to 'hardware limitations', I simply cannot agree due to the games put out with much higher image quality before Rise was even announced. On the positive spectrum, however, it is appreciable that the Monsters still look as scary as always.

    Difficulty- many players were preaching about the inherent ease of the entry but I decided to ignore it and come to my own conclusion. So is it easy? Yes, and it's not for the better. Why are these giant creatures so ridiculously pathetic in the face of literally any weapon? I confronted this game solo and most beasts just provided 20-minute speed bumps that would just make me feel kind of bored. I think I only really had minor issues with were Teostra and Chameleos (end game challenges if you're wondering). The weapon you choose will really change your outlook on the game, I ran Charge Blade and was swiftly able to master the inputs to create stronger attacks and that was considered the most confusing weapon? Eh?

    Sound design- as someone who doesn't listen to videogame music; it was alright but it could've been better. (Also just something I thought was funny was the fact that you can set the town's theme to one of a monster's occasionally surprising people when they enter your lobby). My main gripe here is that I wish you could choose to toggle warnings of attacks, it just becomes annoying rather than helpful but when I used it, it felt like cheating in an already simple game so I ended up just playing with the sound of and then having my laptop play the theme to me in the background.

    Enjoyability- while in some points it created tedium, the ease allowed for a fun social activity which I would play on subsequent run-throughs of bosses and learning combos with the Charge Blade was always entertaining as I jumped into the air and ended up becoming more of a personal experience with the game as something you had in the background which from previous entries is something Monster Hunter looked like it would never become.

    Verdict- high 5-low 6/10    … Expand

    Its MHWorld with lower difficulty, a few added features, a few removed features, and too stretched out maps. Its a chore to go from A to B even with the mount/dog. Forest level is reused / recycled too often. At least its a decent portable MHWorld. I dont like the change to use a Japanese setting, I more liked the more generic/pirate setting in MHW.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'd give this game 9/10, it's an amazing game that provides the right amount of challenge for newcomers. The fights are more fast-paced compared to older titles and the monster attacks provide enough challenge to avoid without it being too hard or too easy, which is perfect for the player who is new to Action RPG or Monster Hunter series. However, the fight tends to be too easy for players who played older Monster Hunter titles but the fight is still fun and entertaining. The endgame monsters is quite a challenge for average players however, they deal a hefty amount of damage and have more complicated attacks. The reason why I decided to give it a 9/10 instead of 10/10 is the endgame in general.

    The endgame is quite repetitive for those who want to have the best of best gear loadout/build. You fight the same monster over and over again to get a "Talisman" you want which can be time-consuming depending on the skill you want for the loadout, The "Apex" variant of monster provides little to no purpose due to them not having unique gears which is quite a bummer. There aren't many monsters to hunt compared to older titles like Monster Hunter World: Iceborne or Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate but that I won't mind due to it still being a base game. The hunts after you hit endgame feel quite stale, you'll be fighting a monster in the same locale instead of fighting in a variety of locales that the monster can be in. Due to lack of difficulty as I wrote earlier, the hunts will lose their sharpness as they will become too easy for you after you play the game for a decent amount of time. It's a great game overall, the endgame bit too stale though.    … Expand

You have been promoted to the rank of a “Hunter” by the Guild who oversees the protection of the village in which you live. The monsters around the area have been acting strangely and attacking the village; a Rampage. You have to take up your plethora of weapon choices and quell the rampages to protect your village.
    To the vast majority, they will hate my thoughts and opinion on this game. I seem to find myself in the small percentage of people who just don’t find enough in the game to keep playing. Why? Monster Hunter Rise is a perfectly cooked, juicy chicken breast...that has no seasoning.

    In most aspects of the Monster Hunter series they solely focus on the game play mechanics and design. They excel in these areas with no hesitation. Monsters are creative and range from fire breathing kung fu kicking peacocks to giant thunder serpents. The monsters will have different status effects you need to learn and adapt too. Hunting them will reward you with parts of them to go back and craft new weapons or armor. All with unique effects and appearances related to the monster in which it came from.
    The different maps to explore are beautiful. There are so many weapon types to learn, you can spend just the first few hours trying to figure out which one you want to master. So where does this game fall?

    Story. For me personally that is one of the biggest gripes about this game. I am driven by a good story in a game. I will continue to play through a game even if the story is poor, just to see it finished. There is very little in Rise and what was established is exactly what I put first in this review. Constant missions consisting of “Go Hunt X Monster”. You head out into a map that never changes, everything organic to the map stays in the same place. The only thing that moves are the actual monsters. You slay the monster and return for your reward. To turn right back around and keep repeating the process.
    The only thing that breaks up the hunting is your inner village hub where you can gather a quest, eat food to buff you for your adventure, buy items, and send out cat mercenaries to gather supplies.
    The other downside is the insane amount of information that is thrown at you at the start of the game. Easily thirty to forty minutes of death by text boxes explaining the different mechanics introduced into the game. But the irritating thing is, they won't explain all the mechanics. I was recommended by other players to look up a wiki on the game to learn more information on how to do things.

    Monster Hunter is a game that has its following. The people who enjoy its game design and the developed game play absolutely love this series. I had fun when I spent a couple hours playing with friends. Seeing the new armor sets and wanting to make my hunter look awesome. But the fun quickly faded when playing alone. It turned to asking myself “Why am I playing this” and just turning off the console.    … Expand

    Is the perfect Monster Hunter, keeps what world made right to help people with its quality of life integrations, and brings some of the level style of old monhuns an integrate them perfectly. Besides, the wirebug creates a new dimension both for mobility and diversification of each weapon gameplay, creating different approach for each weapon in a more natural way that what they tried to do with styles previously. And Palamutes join the fray to make the travel a lot smoother.

    The maps are enormous, smartly designed and full of places to explore, the new monsters are incredibly original and even the older ones have adjusted movesets that fit them perfectly in the speed pacing of the combats.

    I belive it can get a little easy for most veterans, but they havent even removed the HR limiter yet, so there is room for dificulty development, and beyond that, the game still is super fun to play and has a lot of things to do.

    Hope this game become the new standard for following monster hunters of how the gameplay and design choices must be. Amazing game, and a perfect Monster Hunter.    … Expand

    Monster hunter rise is an improvement over World. The wirebug mechanic and wyvern riding are welcome additions to make the game more interesting and unique and I believe they should stay. The roster of monsters is more diversify than World and each monsters feels different.

    1 - The content is still being built up at this point. We all want to see our favorite monsters and additional areas brought in and that's going to take some time. I am sure this will no longer be a problem with a few updates.
    2 - The hunting is kind of not there any more. You don't have to hunt them down as much as you can just go to the icon on your map thanks to the cohoot. It is nice to know where they are, but these environments aren't huge so finding them isn't ever an issue.

    Good game, real combat feeling, I like the new combat system very much, but compared to MHW, there are many missing elements, and subsequent updates are also slightly insufficient

    It is a very streamlined Monster Hunter game. They removed a lot of "obstacles" (i.e. smaller map size, no tracking) to get players into the core of the gameplay as soon as possible , but while doing so they seem to forgot to put enough late game contents to justify the streamlining. Standalone apex monster hunts feel worthless since they do not have unique armors set or weapons for you toIt is a very streamlined Monster Hunter game.

Standalone apex monster hunts feel worthless since they do not have unique armors set or weapons for you to craft, unlike MHXX. Once you craft all the Rampage weapons you need, the Rampage game mode will not provide any purpose to you. Worst of all is the charm, for some reason, they decided charms can only be obtained via Alchemy instead of quest reward. All in all, I think they made a lot of head scratching decisions when developing this game. I hope they will amend the issues in later patch and DLC.… Expand

    I love it. They removed boring things from previous mh games such as whetstones, paintballs, pickaxes and etc, implemented wirebugs which i love and maintained the scaling for hub quests (it was soo bad when you had to do such long hunts to kill monsters because they were meant for a full party) and also i love the new monsters designs, specially because they are based on japanese mythsI love it.

Unlike a lot of people, i was not disappointed with the 3.0 update and don't think the game lacks content, specially considering there will be something like an iceborne expansion in the future with everything people think is missing. Imo rise is great for a base game, it delivers more than 200 hours of good content and tbh i have yet to feel bored playing. I think the only problems are the lack of unique apex equipment and i think they should've developed more the characters storywise… Expand

    Amazing gameplay. The monsters are well designed, the weapons feel satisfying to wield, and the pacing is excellent, even when grinding for materials. There's a steady, underlying sense of progression that permeates the entire experience, whether it be improving one's gear or improving one's gameplay, which made the game feel fulfilling throughout.

There's a steady, underlying sense of progression that permeates the entire experience, whether it be improving one's gear or improving one's gameplay, which made the game feel fulfilling throughout. Although the story and characters were a little barebones and cliche, the strength of the core gameplay loops kept me thoroughly hooked all the way to the credits, and an extra 120+ hours beyond that. The music is fantastic, especially some of the monster-specific themes, and the UI is incredibly intuitive to navigate. Monster Hunter Rise is quite a complex game, and although the in-game tutorials were well-spread out and quite informative, there is still quite a bit of onus on the individual to go the extra mile and do some out-of-game study in order to explore the full extent of the game's systems and weapon mechanics. I wholeheartedly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys mechanically deep, action RPGs.… Expand

    Way to easy , too much Focus on Action ,no Endgame , too much Effects (and yet no epilepsy warning),Unbalanced weapons ( slicing ammo & Bow ) and the list goes on.
    The only Positive aspects of MH Rise : fast loading times and the training area ,other than that its just a huge disappointment.
    Kamura and the NPCs sucks btw

    I was doubting about buying this game for the Switch because I thought the graphics would be terrible but is maybe one of the bests Switch Games on Graphics and Fluidity of the controls, I consider it as a must to buy for this season on Nintendo Switch.

    Excelente juego! Mi primer Monster hunter y este juego me ha hecho querer jugar otros juegos como Dark Souls o God Eater. Hasta pienso comprar MH Generations Ultimate.

    Superb Game running suprisingly good on the Switch. The use of the capabiities of the RE Engine on a Switch is genius!

    Gameplay is expected Monster Hunter-Goodness. Wirebugs are a little gimmicky but it really adds to just more gameplay. Which i like.

    Terrible Game i played it for like 100 Hours beat the 3.0 Final Boss which was a Chore no Story just Random Monster fighting. Monster Hunter World was a better Game in every Way.

    Version 3 released and Really disappointing.
    Version 3.0 is what MHR should contain at the beginning. How can capcom call that updating? If capcom dare release a game without complete content, players also have the right not to pay the total price.

    But comparing those designs of different weapons, there is a problem with their attitude. Like long swords have a set of new actions to equip quick sheath and two deriving with invincibility. Charge blades can't accelerate the switch after super element discharge.    … Expand

    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.
