Monster Hunter Rise is along with the Sunbreak expansion the pinnacle of a Monster Hunter experience. There is an awful lot of gameplay in this game and the expansion, which will keep you playing for an incredibly long time. If you do that in co-op, you will have even more fun. That the performance occasionally slows down should be taken for granted, because the rest of this game is truly phenomenal. The music, gameplay, the experience ... you will enjoy it to the fullest.
