    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.

    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.

    Im not a critic, im not even an fluent english speaker but, i had to rate this game, it is awesome, im having a blast and i have yet to try the multiplayer.
    I played MHW until i got bored , and i can reslly say, even with the obvious graphical disadvantage, this game is freaking fun. Thats all i have to say, buy it, play it, love it!

    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.

    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.
    The wirebug feature is cool for the first couple hours but    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.

    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

    If you enjoyed Monster Hunter World, this game doubles down on its design philosophy and you'll probably love this game. It's a fast-paced romp. If you liked the older MH entries and hoped this would be a return to form, it isn't. It's not definitely not a bad game, but it's not what I was hoping for.

    É um jogo que mantém tudo de bom que a franquia vem mostrando em todos esses anos, mas também cumpre muito bem o objetivo da capcom, que foi popularizar a saga, já que, antes de Monster Hunter World, era muito nichada, para isso, o jogo precisou ser simplificado para se abrir a novos públicos, e isso não é ruim, é muito bom, na verdade. Nota 10 sem dúvidas.

    It's a great game for beginners too, if you're new to the series you'll find it to be much more intuitive and forgiving on you, unlike previous games (MHGenU I'm looking at you).

    Overall this game is absolutely fantastic, if you're thinking of buying it then take the jump, hell buy a switch to play it! I can promise you won't regret it. It's been out 5 days so far and I've already sunk about 70 hours into.

    To say this is the Nintendo Switch's best game is a huge statement. But Monster Hunter Rise goes toe to toe with some of the big titles, Breath Of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, Super Smash Bros and Animal Crossing and in some cases I believe it to actually be a superior game to those previously listed.

    Essentially, the quality of life and the new mechanics don't break the game. it is easier than previous titles, but only because your already a skilled hunter if returning to the series. I thought it was stupid easy until I seen family that have never touched the series before trying to get to grips with it all, then I realised that I do have over 5000 hours spent on the series since early 2000's.

    I do miss mechanics from world that I had got used to sure. For instance, I really miss the clutch claw, hanging off its face and punching it directly in the face to turn the hulking beast and smashing a monster into a wall from it is way more satisfying than silk bind control, dropping off a high level directly landing on and mounting the monster is immense fun and missing too. Another infuriating thing is when the creature is battered and needs to run away, you could zip onto it in world and keep it in the area, which now its going to get away even on the back of your trusty Palamute, BUT, that's why all this should not be a comparison to World, its not World. The mechanics feel more of a direct lineage upgrade from generations ultimate rather than from world. World is very western in its story and its characters, and overall look (designed to be so) . Rise goes out of its way to introduce Japanese culture. its built for the handheld market, and that has always been strongest in Japan and Asia.

    Any monster hunter worth his salt is going to own every console or Pc with a current monster hunter game. world will have a world 2 for pc and console, and rise is the start of Capcom's new handheld MH Branding. So get ready to own 2 consoles or Nintendo and a pc whilst MH Stories is Capcom's mobile phone branding. As a business structure its sound (own three games rather than 1) and this will pave the way for a very bright future for all of us hunters as all games are fully supported. The series is still in the 'growing the fan base and loyalty' stage of development due to the west being late to the MH party.

    As for possible lack of content, you only have to see how Capcom have handled this in the past with constant updates and new monsters/weapons/armour/areas. your game is going to stay relevant for a very long time.
    lets hope Capcom don't do an EA or Activision once they have the massive user base, because you can see how that went, all those micro transactions and ripping the customer until the product saturated the market and fell from grace because of greed is to blame for the vacuum of power in the gaming world, and Capcom and Square Enix were just waiting for that moment to launch Jap gaming back into the mainstream.

    MH Rise is worth every penny. Cannot wait for G rank in rise and world 2 on the next gen consoles!    … Expand

    Like cake... but with no icing.

    There's no denying cake is good regardless, but it's undeniable that cake with icing is better. I'm of course hinting at Monster Hunter World. Rise is a great addition to the franchise, but the more I play Rise, the more I feel like playing World... the different is significant. Most of Rise feels like a spin off of World. The graphics (of course),    Like cake... but with no icing.

    Most of Rise feels like a spin off of World. The graphics (of course), armours (not as detailed), weapon move nerfs, flat level designs, texture popping, etc. It's hard to really get past this at times and actually enjoy the game in my opinion.

    For clarity, When I say weapon nerfs, I'm referring to Longsword and Gunlance, as those are my main weapons. First: Longsword no longer has Helmsplitter, which made me pretty sad. Also, Gunlance no longer has ledge over head leap slam that was pretty good for spamming full blasts in rapid succession. Not gamebreaking, but just "why?" type of nerfs. Also Duel Blades you can no longer spam attack while holding back and forth for an infinite combo.

    I know my review isn't very positive, but hey I'm only 2 stars in so far. It's hard getting back into handheld as my last MH game was Tri on 3DS. Will update my score if things get better, I've yet to see new monsters, just been the same roster so far from World.

    All in all, this is a good filler Monster Hunter game to play while waiting the next console release. I'm playing through Rise solo to brush up until then personally.

    All previous games, I got everything collected. Perfected the game. But not for this one. This one is cheap to promoted the console, company's benefit and contract stuffs. Might just release a mobile version on next one.

    Same thing, if I have to go back to play ps1's mh game again i won't. I got used to the current day graphics and same with many other games.

    Dont get me wrong, not that I hated it. The game is not bad at all. But not that good. It's a shame that such console downgraded such a quality game in a long run franchise.

    When I see IGN gave 8/10. I am not surprise.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game developers did a great job optimizing the game for the platform it’s on the Nintendo switch. Monster hunter rise maintains a solid 30fps no matter the situation. Even in multiplayer the frame rate is stable 30fps. Also let’s just say that this game is one the best graphical games on switch with all its details like the Foliage and monster textures. The gameplay is significantly better with increased movement speed with the palmutes and wire bug. To me the only downside was the main story was only 15 hours but The developers already announced they’ll be adding more monsters in April several in fact. Also a later update with the ending of the story and even more monsters. So I have little concerned that we won’t have a conclusive story at the end of the game cycle I will be looking forward for those updates.In my conclusion if you’re looking for a game with Solid gameplay and good multiplayer lasts hours with friends monster hunter rise game for you and switch.… Expand

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

    Monster Hunter Rise brings massive quality of life improvements to a series long known for clunky controls and unfriendly mechanics, making it one of the easiest entries to get into. Its predecessor MH World introduced the series to a massive new audience with bringing it to not one but three platforms, a first for the series. This put a heavy weight on whatever game would follow to meetMonster Hunter Rise brings massive quality of life improvements to a series long known for clunky controls and unfriendly mechanics, making it one of the easiest entries to get into. Its predecessor MH World introduced the series to a massive new audience with bringing it to not one but three platforms, a first for the series. This put a heavy weight on whatever game would follow to meet the lofty bar set. Rise not only meets this bar but aims to surpass its predecessor down the road in terms of monsters and variety.

    One thing that a lot of veterans of the series can tell you was one of the most aggravating parts of Monster Hunter is getting from point A to point B. Map traversal is usually a difficult ordeal that was tempered in World:Iceborne with the mount system and fast travel system, though still with some rough edges. Rise improves upon both of these systems with the palamute buddy and a fast travel system that's faster to use and easier to understand respectively. Another less than fun portion of games in the series is the gathering quests and small monster hunts, where you're tasked to scrounge the map for gathering nodes and less impressive beasts. Rise answers these long standing low points with simply marking them on your map, leaving the task to simply traverse the zone. Less exciting sub quests are also often relegated to being optional requests that can be tackled during more exciting quests. For example, one request is to slay 8 Kestodon, a small and very easy to kill monster. You can queue a mission to take down a mark in the desert and any Kestodon you see on the way will count to the request. This is true for any of the requests, so feel free to line them up and take them all down while working on your key quests.

    Rise also stands as a technical feat for the Switch, making incredible use of the RE engine and bringing the power of the hardware to bare. With so much going on that the player can lose track of things, the game continues to run at stable frames and shows no drop in visual quality. Obviously compared to World it may not look as realistic or detailed, but these factors would only matter in movies, not in an action game. The art style lends itself to the traditional Monster Hunter mesh of old-styled architecture mixed with bizarre and sometimes impossible industry, this time drawing from traditional Japanese designs.

    Monster Hunter is also a series known for testing out new gimmicks now and again, from swimming to mounting and taking down monsters. Some have stuck around, some have been remixed, and some have fallen to the side. Gone is World's slinger and having to dig around for ammo, softening monster parts and shooting them into walls. In exchange, Rise brings the wirebug, a constantly recharging resource used for traversal and unique new moves for each weapon. You're able to climb nearly any surface you see, recover quickly from attacks and reach airborne nuisances with a quick press and aim. It can take a while to get used to and even longer to master, but when you find the groove you'll feel the incredible power it puts in the player's hand. The traversal benefits alone are a welcome addition, and being able to customize your move set is a welcome return that I personally hope stays for good this time.

    One thing Monster Hunter has never been known for is story. You've heard it quite a few times, you arrive in a village and stave off all manner of dangers until you fight the big final beast and are named the hero, with a few changes here and there. World went to the next level with a more cinematic, if slower and more of a slog, story that required you to be by yourself for the beginning of each quest, leaving a very co-op unfriendly experience for a multiplayer game. Rise does have a sparse handful of cutscenes, but this time allows a full party to start the quest instead of individually viewing the cutscene, leaving and rejoining together. But Rise also suffers from a blatantly unfinished story and while Capcom has stated the upcoming updates will close off the story, right now it leaves a very unsatisfying tale.

    Rise brings nothing but improvements across the board to the gameplay of the Monster Hunter series and a slew of much requested quality of life improvements. Whether the free updates with new monsters and quests will lead it to live up to its predecessors awaits to be seen, but what is there is a fantastic experience for new and old players and one of the best experiences on the Switch. It's lackluster story keeps it from a perfect score, but with so much of the game exceeding expectations, it remains a stellar vanilla entry in the Monster Hunter series.    … Expand

Gameplay is exhilarating - wirebug off the face of a canyon to bring your giant lightning arcing sword/axe combo crashing 50 feet down into the face of a monster in the Sandy Plains. Hop behind a Gatling turret in the trenches of what feels like the Monster Hunter equivalent of WW2 in the Rampages. It’s fast, fluid, chaotic and flashy - but with the same level of depth and strategic thought that has always made Monster Hunter shine.

    The QoL improvements are excellent. Be anywhere in the Hub at the click of a button. The design of the village makes it so that you can do everything you need and get back to hunting in moments. Making and connecting with friends is as easy as ever via the mutual like and Hunter Connect systems. Classic style lobbies AND World style signal flares via Join Requests? Awesome. The performance is flawless, even on a 4 person rampage with roughly 8 monsters on screen with explosions and machine gun fire in all directions. The visuals are incredible, the level design and Wirebug compliment each other so well that even just zipping around gathering materials becomes pure joy. The armor and weapon designs, the music, the atmosphere, how much care and detail went into every little aspect - this game just has so much soul. It is a masterpiece in every regard and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for Rose.    … Expand

Bei MHRISE war ich sehr gespannt, auf die vielen Neuerungen, wie das Reiten auf dem Palamute und die Seilkäfer, womit man neuerdings in ungeahnte Höhen kommt! Monster Hunter Rise hat für mich den besten HUB der Spielereihe, ein gutes online System (#Cutcene) und einfach ein wertiges Gefühl. Auf der Switch läuft es super, ein rundes Spielgefühl. Macht auf jeden Fall Bock. Loire. & Leveln!… Expand

    The best Monster Hunter I have ever played. Without a doubt it is the best Monster Hunter that has been created. You must buy if you have a Nintendo Switch. You will have hours and hours of fun guaranteed.

    How does this game even run on the switch?
    It performs flawlessly. Furthermore, it looks like we ALREADY have an update from Capcom with new monsters coming in April.
    Basically its simple... if you liked Monster Hunter World, and you own a Switch, this is your go to game.

    So much fun, Monster hunter never fails to deliver, if anything the only sin this games commit is being too short.

    Monster Hunter Rise brings a few new mechanics but doesn't really change what makes the series great. It is hard to rate any of the games less than 10. If you like the Monster Hunter formula you will likely enjoy this entry.

    Excelente juego, vale el precio , gráficos buenos , buena jugabilidad, excelentes monstruos , lo único malo es que si lo juegas en modo portátil, vas a tener que poner a cagar muchas veces la nintendo, ya que consume mucha batería. 9/10

    I am unsure why so many people are rating this game a 10. Let me preface with I have been playing Monster Hunter since PS2 (the original). I have sunk several hundred hours into every game, so I could just be a jaded veteran (it certainly feels that way).

Let me preface with I have been playing Monster Hunter since PS2 (the original). I have sunk several hundred hours into every game, so I could just be a jaded veteran (it certainly feels that way).

    Monster Hunter Rise is an okay Monster Hunter title. It is very short for a launch title and our group cleared every single piece of content in a little over a weekend of playing. This has never happened to us before in any Monster Hunter title.

    My biggest gripe is that they traded in the normal tactical essence of Monster Hunter for an action-combat buttonmashing festival. While I am sure many new players prefer this type of mindless combat over the older (albeit clunkier) style, it plays very unlike a Monster Hunter game.

    We went through every single Hub quest without ever needed to prep or practice a hunt. There were no butt-clinching moment of dodging right before fainting, or epic saves from team members. It was just go in, spam attack, wirebug away from big moves, wirebug back in, spam attack. It was a mindless experience.

    I know this is a Switch game, but MHGU had better textures and okay models. In MHR they went wiht amazing models and terrible textures. Many of the textures in the game are blurry, especially on NPC and PC models. I am still confused how MHGU had better antialiasing than MHR, which seems to have no antialiasing. Model lines are very jagged and hard.

    The sense of progression was muted since buttonmashing and wirebugs prevailed in every single fight. We didn't have a real sense of needing to upgrade armor/weapons. Near the middle of the Hub experience we ended up just making weapons more-so because they looked cool because it seemed irrelevant what our stats ended up being. No more prepping for elemental weakness or skills because it was absolutely not needed.

    They went insanely overboard with the Japanese theme. Way more thematic than previous games. If you're not a fan of Japanese culture/lore then it will get very annoying very fast since that's really all there is. It's not really a generic theme, it's more of an in-your-face Japan thing going on. For example, they renamed the Throwing Knife to Throwing Kunai. Not really a bad or good point, just thought I'd mention it.

    So far you might think I have nothing good to say about that game, but I did enjoy quite a few things.

    Palamutes are amazing, I really wish this was now retroactively in World and 4U/GU. Having double puppies is great. As a dog lover, it's amazing fighting besides these canines. The customization options are OUTSTANDING.

    The new monsters share the mechanics of old monsters, but a lot of them are interesting and fun to fight. I just wish they were actually a challenge. I really like this trend of visual differences, but keeping mechanics the same. It allows the devs to focus more time on creating a handful of truly unique monsters while retaining some nostalgia for older monsters while keeping them fresh at the same time.

    There's supposedly an update that is going to add the "harder" hunts later this month, so I might come back and update my review. If the game was harder and less reliant on cheesing everything with the wirebug I would have had a much better review of the game.

    tl;dr - This game should be called Monster Hunter Lite, it's very watered down and insanely easy. No point in prepping for hunts, or even upgrading equipment because every hunt is just a button-mashing fest where you jump in and out with the wirebug to dodge everything.    … Collapse

    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.
