    One of the best Monster Hunter games released, such an improvement over Monster Hunter World. The armor and weapon designs are mostly like the older games with unique and impressive designs. Gameplay is smooth and satisfying, can’t recommend enough, i hope this sells better than world.

    This game is exactly what I needed for this time of my life. Monster Hunter Rise starts of with a great introduction to the world where the characters shine like never before in any other Monster Hunter game.

The graphics have to be one of the best looking games on the Nintendo Switch even on handheld mode. Even at the start of the game it's promising all the way through it's finale. In the gameplay aspect in the past entries of Monster Hunter the game felt harder to grasp and each entry was a different challenge. In this entry of the series the weapons have never felt smoother and therefore faster. The animations are clean and spot on to what command you execute to be more effective on hunts. The story is simple and each character has it's own charm to add flavor to the story. The game has it's own Japanese- like culture that was the direct influence and it just adds to the charming aspect of the village. The palicos are as cute as ever , now even adding dog companions in to the mix to even further implement different play styles. There are so many different ways to approach each hunt to the point no hunt feels exactly the same which is extremely refreshing. If you are considering playing this game just for fun or because you are a fan you might love it as much as the hundreds of players currently hunting together.… Expand

    Best Monster Hunter game so far. Takes all that’s good from the previous games, enhances them, introduces significant new stuff (wirebug, climbing, riding,...) and makes it all fast and fun to play solo or online on the TV or handheld.

The song played at steelworks is a joy to hear everytime. Phenomenal game all around. If you own a Switch this is a no-brainer, must buy game.. even if you are a newcomer. Also, this game is great to play solo or co-op. Please give it a shot. If you aren't vibing.. change your weapon before you put it down. 14 weapons that all feel super unique and change the playstyle considerably.… Expand

    Lo mejor que tiene Nintendo Switch, es espectacular que pueda correr esta obra de arte, y no soy ningún fan de Monster hunter, me gustan y ya, pero en este caso hay que aplaudir a CAPCOM por su increíble trabajo. Y a parte de lo gráfico, jugablemente 10/10, y ambientación, todo, me tiene enganchado.

It's all about how detailed are the monster and how good the gameplay is. And the gameplay of the Rise is extremely well done. In previous games what people would do is just poke a monster here and there until the big damage moves comes out and with the iteration of Wirebugs and how versatile they are and how much do they offer to every class the gameplay has changed a bit. You have multiple approaches before your high damage combos to the monster and multiple techniques to weaken the monster down instead of just poking. Slow weapon users can now jump out of the huge attack before the need of sheathing due to Wirebugs and the Palamute works great too and allows melee weapon users to sharpen their weapons on the chase of the monster. The gathering has been improved and doesn't take forever anymore. And the game looks very good considering it's on a weaker system. Really well done.… Expand

    El combate es muy rapido y gratificante, muchas de las mecanicas de grindeo desagradables se han eliminado y el nuevo sistema de cuerdas es simplemente genial, se siente como jugar spiderman.

    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.
