Sunbreak is a fantastic expansion on Rise, and brought almost everything the game needed. The new monsters are amazing, with maybe one of the best designed flagships to date. Mechanically, it develops pretty well on Rise's combat, only adding on more to it without being too complicated. It also brings a lot of replability, which base Rise struggled a lot with. Overall, great expansion onto Rise, definitely recommend this if you're have any interest in Rise of Monster Hunter.

A more gameplay-focused and experimental entry into the monster hunter "new world" series, for better and for worse.

I just wasted $60 dollars on this game. It is too complicated to be fun, and the monster fighting is disappointing from how it looked in the trailer and in videos. Getting to the actual hard and fun stuff of the game takes forever, and makes this game not worth buying.

O jogo é sensacional foram 900 horas de muita emoção e aventuras, só não levou 10 porque saiu em plataformas restritas.

Monster Hunter games are my weakness and after putting in 800 hours into this game I can tell you it’s amazing and the wire bug feels great to use. I’m an LBG main and they did right by me on this

While the overall structure is similar to the base game, the story adjustments and optimizations in Sunbreak bring back some of the charm reminiscent of World.

I'm going to prefice this by saying that I've not played a Monster Hunter game before and that this was my first (and also last) experience with the series. I have heard a lot about the series and how amazing it is so I decided to check out this latest installment of it and see it for myself. Unfortunately I came out of the experience utterly dissapointed. To start off, the tutorial takes the approach of explaining everything to you with walls of text instead of being intuitive and showing you what to do during gameplay. This results in a piss poor tutorial experience where it essentially doesn't teach you almost anything substantial and the player doesn't retain almost any of the information. I do not know whether the tutorial mentioned it, but I do not remember it even including information on how to lock on to monsters, which I had to look up on google to figure out how it works. The other tutorials are even less clear and again use the wall of text method, so I almost fell asleep during the very start, which is already a bad sign. When I got my first quest I had no idea what I was doing, the tutorial did not even explain healing though I was able to figure that out on my own. I had no idea, however of any of the gameplay mechanics. I kept dying over and over again, and had no idea which buttons do what outside of heavy and light attacks. I knew there were some kinds of skills but had no idea how they really worked and was mostly using them blindly. The most jarring part of the game are the controls, they are extremely clunky. I do not understand whose idea it was to put the attack buttons as Y And B instead of X and Y. I'm sure there is a way to change this in the settings, however the fact that this is the default setting is just ridiculous. This resulted in me constantly seathing my weapon as I'm used to pressing X to attack. The other issue is locking. This has to be the most counter intuitive target lock I've ever seen. You use L1 to lock onto the target. However this doesn't actually lock on, it only points your camera at the target at that time. You have to keep pressing it in order to keep looking at and attacking the target. What's worse is that if you hold down that button instead of pressing it, it opens up this radial menu, which is extremely annoying and another stupid design choice. The mechanic of the Monster running away from you halfway accross the map is just extremely annoying and completely kills the pacing of the combat. Esspecially when your mount just decides to **** off somewhere to neverland to fight some random monster you're not even focusing on or fighting. The only positive thing I can say is that the game works and that it runs well, which unfortunately in today's day and age is something to be praised. However that doesn't really matter as much unless you want to go through the painful expeirence of this game. Overall my first experience with this game and series has been overwhelmingly negative, and I think that whoever designed this game needs to seriously reconsider their ideas of how game should be designed. I really cannot recommend anyone to play this, as it is just a frustrating and unintuitive experience.

I'm not sure how much content the DLC has compared to the base game, I bought them both together. But every Monster Hunter DLC has a high price than they should have. With a discount, I think it's a good idea to buy the DLC and keep playing this great game.

Monster Hunter Rise is a fantastic entry in the series, offering a perfect blend of classic Monster Hunter gameplay with exciting new features.

Ore di gioco: 1400+ Come ben sapete, Monster Hunter è una saga atipica, un gioco attualmente unico nel suo genere che riesce a mischiare perfettamente le componenti action, GDR ed MMO. Non a caso è uno dei rari giochi di questo genere che consente di generare un quantitativo di ore elevatissime. Graficamente SB è una perla nel parco giochi Nintendo, probabilmente uno dei pochi che riesce a dare dignità ad una console antica sotto tutti i punti di vista. Inoltre in un periodo in cui i porting sono fatti di merda anche con giochi qualitativamente di bassa fascia, hanno fatto un ottimo lavoro. Ovviamente storia inesistente come tutti gli MH e un gameplay molto veloce e dinamico, un'evoluzione 1:1 di GU. Se non si entra nel Deep del gioco e non si fanno paragoni con il predecessore, SB si può annoverare nei migliori giochi dell'ultimo decennio. I problemi subentrano nel momento in cui si approfondiscono le dinamiche, il che rende inevitabile i confronti con il più vicino parente: Iceborne. La maggior parte dei mostri sono caotici e il sistema di combattimento, incentrato sui counter, non tiene il passo. Il che rende frustrante anche il multiplayer (soprattutto per chi è più navigato nella saga). Inoltre la componente GDR viene totalmente uccisa dall'eccessiva quantità di RNG inserita nel titolo, forse un tentativo da parte degli sviluppatori di render meno monotona la caccia (?), probabile, ma purtroppo hanno fallito .In sostanza voto 7, dal punto di vista oggettivo. Voto 5, come voto soggettivo

Ana oyundan iyi ama yine Iceborne'un yanına bile yaklaşamaz, canavarların çoğu reskin ve hiçbiri bir Shara Ishvalda, Fatalis ya da Safi'Jiva değil. Son canavar diye koydukları Amatsu tam bir hayal kırıklığı, Monster Hunter Rise'ın ana oyunundaki Magnamolo bile daha eğlenceli cidden.

Had it not relied too much on randomness, Sunbreak would have been one of the best expansions in recent years.

I liked the base Rise on PC, but it felt too short and lacked any kind of end-game content. Sunbreak added a lot of stuff that you can put dozens of more hours into, including an investigation system, follower quests where you team up with NPCs, and a brand-new gear augmentation system that requires farming. There's also new monsters, and an all new rank - and the difficulty gets pretty close to perfect! Altogether, super enjoyable! If I game basic Rise a 7/10, then Sunbreak elevated it to a 9/10 just for coop fun! Story line, characters and such, i won't even include in the rating because I do not care.

Visual: 9/10 Its monster hunter, but back to its roots and bright and colorful. Audio: 9/10 monsters sound great, hits sound satisfying Gameplay:9/10 This may be divisive but I don't really care. Wirebug is an great, takes the place of hunter arts from MHGU but adds very fun mobility. Recommend?: Yes, if you are a fan of the series you are bound to like this entry. The game feels a bit on the easier side due to the ample amount of I-frames on wirebug arts, but the new monsters have excellent movesets and are engaging to fight.

My only critique is the pacing. I wish the new content was spread out more, but that's a nitpick really. Great stuff besides that. I've heard some people have save file bugs on PC buy I never got that and it runs great on my end (1440p 90fps). Rise was my least favorite Monster Hunter and Sunbreak addressed a lot of the issues I had with it. Rampages are gone now. There's a good endgame loop (if you like RNG, which I do). The story is better! The combat provides more of a challenge. You are able to experiment with more of your moveset due to switch skill swapping. The movesets got more varied with various new moves, which also buffed and debuffed weapons that needed it.

I've played 150hrs for G rank and I love every single part of it except frequent force quit on PC, this is the best action game. Old hunters always complain older titles are better, it's like a ritual for monster hunter community which is pretty sad. Hope Capcom will make next title more beautiful and action-packed!

The story is much more interesting when compared to the rise base game. The NPCs are actually helpful this time as compared to the Iceborne which is literally just forcing and watching you kill monsters. New skills are interesting and allows players to hv more options and playstyle.

Insanely disappointing there’s no cross-progression/cross-save with MHR on Switch. Such a huge missed opportunity

Good- New monsters and subspecies along with foes from previous entries are challenging and fun to fight. Existing monsters get new moves that keep encounters fresh. Switch Skill Swap and new Skills are fun to use. Follower Quests make for a fun side-activity while Anomaly Quests finally provide a decent endgame. Quality of life changes and new features like Hopping Skewers and Buddy Recon are excellent additions to the current formula. Bad- Pacing is a bit slow at the beginning and it takes time for the new monsters to appear. New environments are pretty but don't mix up the gameplay loop or add anything game changing. No new rampage content or any integration of existing content into the current game. Endgame is still lackluster compared to Iceborne. Thoughts- If I had to sum up my 30 plus hours or so with Sunbreak, it’s that this is more Monster Hunter Rise content for those who like Monster Hunter Rise. If you’re a big fan of World who couldn’t get into Rise and wonder if Sunbreak will help, then it may not necessarily be for you. However, if you enjoyed Rise, grinding out everything from the Rampage to Crimson Glow Valstrax, then, well, you already own Sunbreak and everything is pretty much moot. It doesn’t go out of its way to reinvent the wheel and takes some time to truly open up. Nevertheless, the new skills and gear, tons of new quests, challenging endgame and new monsters are more than enough to keep you engaged for a good long while.

Not sure where the troll reviews are coming from but its not MH fans. The additions they made to an already fun game are just awesome! They really listened to the community and learned a lot from older additions they tried to make in the past that didn't quite pan out (like clutch claw from world/born). The new endemic life,hunting helpers, monsters, FRONTIER monster, maps,melding,MR armor and weapons, Palico & Palamute abilities, followers, and hub are all great additions. If you are into a monster hunter game where you are kind of a super human then this game is for you. I am so pleased with the devs for listening to feedback, giving us monsters we really wanted, and making a good effort to offer different varieties of difficulty. I LOVE Sunbreak even as a 2nd fleeter.

Not sure why some people are being sassy divas about this dlc. It’s amazing. Also, for those who are more casual players, it’s a fantastic way to get higher level gear quickly so you can take out some of the late game elder dragons. Adds a lot and plans to add more along the way. Great addition to an already great entry to the series. Well worth the asking price imo

The Citadel theme is a certified banger. Unbelievably epic, what a game. A joy from start to finish.

I don't give out 10s often but Sunbreak definitely deserves it. They have taken the base game and made it bigger and better in every way, whilst also adding a ton of much welcome QoL tweaks. A big complaint in base Rise was the lack of end-game but that has been remedied with hard, rewarding hunts post credits. They have also upped their game in the fashion department with some truly incredible sets to unlock for you and your buddies. My only gripe is you still can't layer/transmog your non Rampage weapons, so I hope this is added at some point. Simply put, if you enjoyed Rise you will love Sunbreak, it's better in every way you can imagine, and then some.

PC版要比NS版的效果更优秀,当然BUG也更多,不赘述了。整体上讲本来这作就没有达到预期,所以真的不想做过多的评论了。本体我只打了300多小时,历代怪猎最低时长;DLC甚至已经凑不齐四人小队了,或许这就是新时代的怪猎吧。反正我是搞不懂现在这游戏的魅力,是可以show off还是能怎么滴了?花里胡哨的玩鬼泣不好吗?卡普空的新思路我反正是跟不上,也搞不懂。年轻人喜欢玩什么我也是不了解。我只知道下一作怪猎不会预购了。作为玩家这就是我自己对卡普空这作怪猎的态度。快餐游戏什么的,这个时代已经足够多了。 另外,我本体斗技场甚至全武器S了,居然游戏才打了300多小时。 你猜我DLC还会不会去打斗技场全武器S?我只想退款好吗

Horrible G-Rank release. Somebody in production thought Monster Hunter was a story-centric game when NO ONE plays it for the story. Do not buy, its not worth even 10 bucks. Its not worth your time. 4 colored variants that feel the exact same as their original ones. No new weak points to change up the players strategies. The main base feels like it was supposed to have lot of other areas in it that are now just 'roped off' (literally roped off). The new monsters look like they belong in a knock-off MH clone. This is easily the WORST MH release to date. Every other G-Rank release had content in it. They just said have the same monsters do more damage and have more HP in the same maps, rehash the armor models from 'World', slap in 3 new monsters, and release the game. So if you want to play the same game as Rise all over again with nothing new, by all means go spend another 40 bucks.

Perfectly worthy MH. It is complement to the MHR, and the degree of difficulty is suitable.
