Currently I have spent around 600+ hours in MHR. I think it's time to write a review. Monster Hunter Rise is a very debatable game. Monster Hunter World being my previously played Monster Hunter franchise, there will be some comparisons. I still love Monster Hunter, and it will be recommended but I have many disappointments regardless. Sunbreak is a pretty good DLC and I personally did not run into any save issues. However, majority of the people seemed to have run into major issues with their save files. MHW and MHR, graphical wise gets compared a lot. I think people should know that MHW is made for console players and MHR is made for portable players. The graphics could have been improved but I don't think there are any issues with graphics. As great as this game is, it's very flawed and disappointing. Let's go to pros and cons. Pros : - Amazing scenery - Monster design and the amount of monsters to engage. - No pay to win. Always one of the best reasons. - Mods, mods, and mods. Get creative! - New user friendly, likable tutorials. - Events keep it coming. Never ending with those cosmetics! - Palamutes, Cohoot, Palicoes. These FELYNE friends are our best friends. - Turf wars, it's amazing. Get ready to grab your popcorn lads. - Multiplayer - The soundtrack is probably one of my favourites. Never disappoints me. - Skippable cutscenes - Good servers - Buddy A.I. has been improved - Story and the characters. I love them so much! #Fiorayne - Weapons and wirebugs. The new movesets compared to Iceborne is flawless. Cons : - Hitboxes are downgrading each franchise. - Bad optimisation. - Monster A.I. is very flawed. The tracking is so accurate and most of the monsters are spamming the same attacks. I think this is currently my biggest issue and disappointment about the game. - Punishment. Once you get hit, it's very difficult to get back in the track. I understand some players want a challenge but I would like the challenge to be a challenge, not a moment to die without being able to recover. - Evading is not very optimal anymore. Most attacks are meant to be countered and evading is almost non-viable now. How many times will a player counter rather than evade? - Weapon counter activation. Somehow this is a bug happening since the release of "FREE TITLE 4" for Sunbreak? - Input issues. One of the most flawed input problems I have seen in a monster hunter franchise. Seriously, how can you mess it up this bad? - 30 fps cutscenes. I don't even know why this is a thing. - Unnecessary amount of RNG. - Each update causes more bugs. - Spiribirds are probably one of the worst system added to a monster hunter franchise. I miss the old health system. Conclusion, game is fun but it has so many issues. I still recommend you the game no matter what. Although, I am just hoping the Monster Hunter Portable Team would maybe, just maybe decide to fix the major issues with the A.I, input, and the bugs with weapon counters. I would play MHR but I honestly would not stay for it longer than MHW. Honestly, I would rather go back to MHW than MHR in the future. Overall, still a good game. P.S. Try to get Sunbreak. Without the DLC, the game lacks a major amount of content.

The monsters unfortunately are not very inspired, some make a good impact at the beginning but after you face them twice they already become boring, some have more than one similar attack between them and while you fight them they often tend to interpenetrate, they make you fight monsters huge in places that are not suitable for them in terms of size and therefore most of the time you end up penetrating inside the monster without understanding what is happening around you and then being hit by attacks that will surely take you because as mentioned before you do not see, last thing about the monsters, you don't have a huge variety. The weapons are interesting but very cumbersome on certain aspects, they are unsatisfactory on impact with the monster, some weapons are nothing more than copy paste of some already present in mh and with an attempt to change something of the moveset (such as the bow or the cannon), the graphic style is very generic and it doesn't really seem to be in the nextgen since this game is, technically it is unwatchable on PC because on certain occasions the framerate remains ok in other cases, especially in the middle of the hunt and this what is quite annoying for the experience that the game wants to give, an interesting thing is the karakuri or the constructions that if you are creative you could create some fun fighting style. In conclusion it is a game that I advise you to buy discounted if you feel like it because the modest sum of 80 euros is a big no especially for the quality of the product which is neither top nor bad but mediocre, my advice do it and give it a try

the weapons are fun to use, the monsters are funny to fight, the 2 new maps are splendid, there is a lasting endgame, it is optimized well on pc it is fun with friends, what more could you want?
