    What a great episode this Monster Hunter Rise is! Capcom has taken the formula of the massive Monster Hunter World from a few years ago and sprinkled it with improvements to make it even more dynamic. By reducing the number of ingredients needed for crafting and adding various improvements such as the Wirebug, switch skills or even more verticality in the environments, the Japanese developer has certainly refined the already canonical recipe of the previous opus. The cherished universe, the number of new monsters and the ever-present challenge wrap up the list of essential ingredients which, in our opinion, make this Monster Hunter Rise a savoury recipe to success. We are convinced that a sequel could benefit from a few improvements, especially concerning the tracking, which is almost invisible here. Maybe for a Monster Hunter World 2?

    The production values are off the charts, and I appreciate that. However, that doesn't make up for the game's incredibly tedious presentation.The production values are off the charts, and I appreciate that.

    This is a pretty great game, but the first hours are terrible. A bunch of text thrown at you and you end up not knowing how to do anything.This is a pretty great game, but the first hours are terrible. A bunch of text thrown at you and you end up not knowing how to do anything. It's only after a couple hours this game becomes very good. Currently 30hrs in and im addicted.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Something’s off. This game world feels desolate and dull. The range of monsters is fantastic, but the quests and adventures aren’t worth the effort. I had high expectations for this game, and I'm beyond disappointed.… Full Review »
