    Amazing game, I thought the magic died after 150hrs of world but this game surely brought it back. Have been playing nonstop doing even the fetch quest and I'm loving the music, Gameplay, everything! Kudos to Capcom let's hope they bring good dlc along the way.

    It's pretty good, probably one of the best in the series, I could even say the best in the series!

    It was quite touching when you have a look at the desert map and forest map in comparison with the original ones. All new all different all improved yet all inherited.

    El mejor MH que he jugado, es único y se nota el cariño que le han puesto. Gráficos, música, jugabilidad cómoda y satisfactoria, y DLCs gratis por venir. No creo que MH pueda darte algo mejor en una consola.

    Long time fan of the franchise, but this iteration feels really over simplified. Combat is clunky compared to the older titles, many of the weapons are worthless now. The graphics are awesome, looks spectacular. The loading screen times are a huge improvement. For me the rest of the game is a letdown, cribbing too much from MH World, arguably the worst MH game.

    Me encanta, cada vez esta saga de Capcom va superando la anterior. Tiene un apartado gráfico espectacular la cual saca el mayor rendimiento de la Nintendo Switch, siempre estable, casi ninguna caída de FPS, ambientación hermosa, banda sonora brutal, jugabilidad compleja pero muy buena. NPC carismáticos. Una obra maestra de Capcom hacia nintendo. No olvidemos que los DLC serán gratuitos.Me encanta, cada vez esta saga de Capcom va superando la anterior.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Monster Hunter Rise is the perfect balance between the QoL that made World the sales powerhouse that it was, mixed with the bright, over the top colors and weapons that GU was known for. While hunting styles are no more, switch skills and silkbind attacks have taken their place and even brought back some familiar moves that veteran hunters might remember.

    The setting is beautiful, map traversal is now more fun than ever with the additions of palamutes, gathering is a cinch, and there are plenty of secrets hidden around for those adept with the new wirebug mechanic added in this game.

    My biggest gripe with the game, however, is that upon finishing the high rank hub quests, the game ends rather abruptly; as though it was unfinished, and rushed to meet the March 26th release date. The weapon trees still have massive question marks at their end, talismans are a pain to farm for, and money seems to be the largest issue overall.

    I absolutely adore Monster Hunter Rise, but I feel as though it needed a bit more time in the oven.    … Expand

    Posiblemente el mejor MH. Tiene todas las mejoras que se incluyeron en el World para hacer el juego más “ágil” en general, pero con un estilo mucho más directo, perfecto para una portátil. El único punto negativo es la dificultad del modo historia, que es bastante baja, pero como metan contenido que suponga un reto, sobre todo para los veteranos de la saga, acabará siendo un MH de 10.

    I’m already one hour in and I swear I’ve had to close out of 50 tutorial windows. My god this is incredibly irritating. I’ve never played a game that’s so complex that it required an asinine amount of tutorials. I might give it another chance later but for now I’ve had enough.

    Honest review after getting to HR7, ful HR Mag Armor and about 13 sns's max ranked now.
    There's nothing left. Literally nothing. It's pretty disappointing. There's not much filler in the game other than just grinding the ol' monster's. But this time around, they pretty much give you everything on a silver pixelated platter.

    There's nothing left. Literally nothing. It's pretty disappointing. There's not much filler in the game other than just grinding the ol' monster's. But this time around, they pretty much give you everything on a silver pixelated platter.

    The wirebug feature is cool for the first couple hours but then becomes a real chore. Hunting wise it provides a couple extra dodges (which aren't needed really if you get hit) or a powerful attack that equals out anyway if you just attacked. I imagine someone on youtube might make a nice montage of wirebug stuff, but thats about it. Exploration wise. Fun for little while but just a chore later on. Already collected or seen X, Y, and Z. Everything else is me. The dog and the Wirebug is Meh at best.

    I get that they wanted you to focus on hunts and not worry about all the extra grindy stuff like mining or herbs or whatever. But it's a grindy game to begin with. They give you tools for exploration but then make the rest simplistic. It's dumb and counter-intuitive.

    Monsters are the absolute easiest I've played in the 17 years I've been with the franchise. Worst part is, there really isn't much variety. I swear they must have taken away movesets from franchise favorites and the new monsters introduced are just punching bags. And wirebug dodging makes them easier. The end boss leaves you wondering about the rest of the game.

    Talismans have you praying to RNG gods and are probably the most grindy of the features without actually grinding whatsoever.

    The game pretty much throws you everything. I'm a fan of QoL features but this game went overboard. I remember how people were in massive complaint over how easy World was and how it took away so much "from monster hunter" But this game pretty much took even more out of it, on top of that it's even easier.

    Honestly... I'm just disappointed that it could have been more... Ya know, without having to wait a month or whatever until their patch or promise they'll be adding more content. Because there is nothing left. I can't believe this is actually a finished product to be honest.    … 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.

    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.
