I've never refunded a game on steam, and I've never cared enough one way or another to write a review on pretty much any game I've ever played. But when I took a week off of work to play MHR on PC, I didn't know I would just be wasting my PTO. Completely unplayable as the game can't create a save file and just loops indefinitely without ever being able to get to the main menu. Uninstall & Reinstall, verify integrity of game cache, delete old save file folders, turning steam cloud off/on, all had absolutely no effect on this issue. I spent $63 on a frustrating menu simulator. I didn't get a single second of play time in the 2 hours I spent troubleshooting this issue last night, and with no update in sight, this game looks like a lost cause for now. Do not buy this game if you intend to play it within the next few weeks until they update it. I would give a 1/10, but I never got to experience a single second of the game. I put hundreds of hours into MHW, and when I saw a new release, I took time off to be able to enjoy it on release day. Don't make the same mistake as me. Requested refund on steam, and it will be a few days/weeks before I even get to spend that on a game that actually works. 0/10.… Expand

    It's Monster Hunter, what do you expect? Gameplay boils down to a boss rush game where you rush bosses, kill them, loot them, and do it all over until you craft gear you want, all while progressing. 4-player co-op works great. Fun in groups. Can be grindy and repetitive. Not as visually stunning as Monster Hunter: World, but that's to be expected for a Switch port to PC.

If you played that, the levels feel in and around the same size, and unlike portable games prior to this one, the levels aren't divided up into loading zones. Not bad, not amazing, but still fun.

    A decent follow-up to Monster Hunter World. It has a cool ninja theme with new movement and new moves for all the weapons. Story is unimportant and the new/old monsters are still great and the reason i keep coming back. But it lacks in overall endgame giving me less reason to keep playing. I recommend this game.

    Denuvo sucks, cant play it offline or if my internet provider fails.
    MHWorld was so better than is game, it would be better making the games to PC and downgrading them to Switch instead

It’s a pretty good game but I wouldn’t say it crosses into being a great game. The first several hours feel like a chore loaded with long winded tutorials, but once it opens then there is more to enjoy. The combat feels like a strange middle ground between really sloppy and slippery yet pretty tight and responsive. It’s hard to explain but I ended up enjoying the combat despite it feeling a bit goofy. The graphics are pretty nice and the soundtrack is excellent but highly repetitive. While I understand the game needs context, I felt like the story and dialogue was awful. Surely they could have come up with something slightly better than this.

    All in all I had fun with the game, especially when playing with friends. It wasn’t fun enough for me to see it to the end but I got a satisfying 13 hours out of it and feel like I’ve enjoyed it enough.    … Expand

    I really enjoyed monster Hunter rise but.... only for 2 weekends. Then it became very repetitive and I only got half way or so. I think maybe if you have friends you could play it with this would make it last longer, and if you are a big fan of the series or really like to grind then that too.

It feels like the game doesn't want you to play it, it just keeps throwing dialogues and stupid tutorial windows at you several times! Go there and talk to somebody then come back and talk to this other annoying character. Finally, a quest! But only following a character that (of course) talks a lot. The UI/UX is terrible!!! Which turns the options menu into a nightmare! Changing the key bindings is almost impossible due to the high number of incompatibilities. I'm sort of tired of this game design, it's so counter intuitive, so outdated. I was so excited to play it, but it just turned into a bad dream due to all these flaws and really bad choices from the developers.… Expand

    It has been a week since I've had the "save file bug". The worst thing is Capcom doesn't really say much about the issue. Sure they acknowledged that it exist, but after that nothing. The only thing we got today was a message that roughly says, "We're working on it, thanks for being patient."...that's all? After one week, that's all we're going to get?

    This entire series is literal trash. Repetitive uninteresting mindless hack-n-slash. Battles take EONS, STARTING at 10 minutes and sometimes lasting 30. Yes, my equipment is upgraded.

There's this entire set of moves for the 10+ weapons which sound great but nothing they do matters, just run in, attack once,This entire series is literal trash. Repetitive uninteresting mindless hack-n-slash. Battles take EONS, STARTING at 10 minutes and sometimes lasting 30. Yes, my equipment is upgraded. Monsters all act the same. Just run in, attack them, dodge out of there. There's this entire set of moves for the 10+ weapons which sound great but nothing they do matters, just run in, attack once, dodge out of there. Slow weapons are worse because they take 6 seconds to attack so most of the time you miss. The moves you learn look cool but they do nothing versus just using the normal attack each weapon has. Wow you did a super mega attack for 5 more damage! Okay, I'll just use the normal attack forever now... no penalty?

    You are sent to a battlefield to hunt which is just a waste of time, nothing stands between you and the monster on your mini-map. You just hold forward for 5 minutes. This does nothing except pad out the game. Monsters run away when they're weak and go and heal. This does nothing except pad out the game. There is NO STORY AT ALL, which I wasn't expecting a good one but there is nothing to really make you want to go hunt monsters. No voice acting, just a bunch of text in the menus. They try to distract you with poems and haikus, and silly useless over the top distractions like characters jumping when they make you food. The only point is to just go in a circle of grinding to get better equipment to kill boring monsters faster. You don't have to upgrade but if you don't then go ahead and take the 30 minute figure per monster and triple it. The upgrade tree is really interesting but... there's just no point to bother because all of the monsters are the same process.

    The game doesn't make you think or plan ahead. When hunts start they just dump potions on you. The whole eating system is just an excuse to have something to forget to do. You have to eat before missions or else you don't do nearly as well, ie there are bonuses you miss out on. There is no reminder saying you forgot to eat so you just waste time if you forget and start over.

    I didn't experience any saving issues, and one redeeming thing about the game is the graphics are excellent. The monster designs are unique and everything is animated exceptionally well, the characters are designed well etc. That doesn't matter because it's just window dressing on a completely pointless mindless hack-n-slash. They also have some interesting side modes like tower defense that requires at least a sliver of thinking and strategy, but of course they are optional.

    I do not understand people's obsession with this utterly trash series. My friend tried to get me into it and I wasted $40. This game is not worth $40 or $20, I wouldn't pay more than $5 for it. I kept thinking it would get better, perhaps the first part of the game is just repetitive because it is a tutorial? etc, so I put 10 hours into it and now I'm well beyond the refund time on Steam. I asked around and watched videos and the rest of the series is like this, or arguably even "worse" because they had less quality of life features. NO, you do not do ANYTHING except mindlessly hunt monsters which means, jump in, attack, dodge out.

    If you think you want this game, go watch someone playing it on youtube for 5 minutes and pretend to be mashing keys on your keyboard. There you go, I just saved you time and money. See them attacking a monster once and dodging? Now imagine doing that for 100 hours. That's all you do. I'm not kidding.    … Expand

Серьезно попробуйте и поиграйте, да управление неудобное с прутожуками, но чинится лишь переназначением на другую клавишу. Не понимаю людей которые ноют за графон, вот реально что вы ожидали от порта со свича? Уровня графона ворлда когда он и так делался под пк? Тем более капком и так уже пообещали выпустить потом пак 4к текстур. Да и неужели вам удобно играть в ворлд с его поломанным коопом? Когда приходилось сначала идти по одному и смотреть сранные катсцены? Я не думаю что да, а если и да то вы мазохист, в райсе же это наконец исправили. А как же еще починенные ветки прокачки и крафта оружия? Когда в ворлде ты сначала должен в отдельном карл меню! Скрафтить предмет, а только потом и только потом иди улучшать его в другом.
    В общем в итоге я советую игру, да у нее есть минусы, по типу того же графона, но серьезно если сравнить ворлд на старте, то райс все же получше будет.    … Expand

    A really good point to get into the series.
    Unlike World, it's not bogged down by too many tutorials, a crowded hub and slow resource gathering.
    The mount and wire bugs add a lot to the traversal and exploration feels better than ever.
    It looks horrible, though.

    Good PC version for a really good MH game.

    Ever since Capcom started using the new modern RE Engine, with RE VII, we knew it was a very versatile engine with lots of potential and scalability, and the games that came after quite proved that point, on all systems. The Nintendo Switch needed a good, new Monster Hunter game, and MH World wasn’t going happen over there because, frankly,    Good PC version for a really good MH game.

    Ever since Capcom started using the new modern RE Engine, with RE VII, we knew it was a very versatile engine with lots of potential and scalability, and the games that came after quite proved that point, on all systems.

    The Nintendo Switch needed a good, new Monster Hunter game, and MH World wasn’t going happen over there because, frankly, World still looks amazing today, especially at max settings and high resolutions, on PC, and it’s quite demanding too.

    With MH Rise, that’s what Capcom did, a bespoke Nintendo Switch game, that plays very well, but looks substantially lower quality compared to World, yet plays amazingly well, the animations are quite good and monsters look greater than ever, especially in the way they move and animate.

    On PC, MH Rise gets some visual upgrades in the form of better quality textures, mainly, but overall the geometrical quality of most assets remains quite similar to the Switch version, but being able to increase the resolution and frame-rates is a big bonus too.

    On the Performance side of things, the game is quite easier on the hardware compared to MH World, and it is able to run at stable 60 FPS, 4K resolution, on my Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 3060 Ti, and pretty close to 120 FPS at 1620p DLDSR, everything maxed of course.
    Being a port from a Switch game, another advantage is that the game is able to perform quite well on 4 core CPUs, like my secondary system which has an i5 4690K and a GTX 1070, and on this PC the game is able to run at 60 FPS and more even at 1440p, so I believe a lot of players will be able to enjoy good and smooth performance in this game.

    One bug/issue in this game, still not fixed as of the posting of this review, is the Resolution Scale (known as Image Quality in the options): 100% Scale is actually doing 75% internal resolution, which I confirmed by manually counting the pixels on screen with basic geometry / math; and then 150% Scale is actually 112.5% over native resolution, so there’s no easy way to do native resolution, but I reckon for now that the closest way is just setting the scale to 150%, and the game will be slightly downsampled.

    Controls and Keybinds are excellent on Keyboard and Mouse, for the most part, I believe the mouse still has this really, really tiny deadzone, but it feels better than in the Demo, for sure, so I have no major issues with it.
    There’s one single key I’ve found I cannot map, which is ALT, but it’s no big deal for me, I have plenty more keys to map, and a simple macro or remap via software can fix that issue, too.
    I am also a left handed player, and I can map the whole right side of the keyboard with no issues, arrow keys included, which is excellent.

    Now that I have spent more than 70 hours on Rise, I can say I enjoy its more fast paced combat, movement mechanics and overall feel, compared to World; the latter is still an excellent game, with lots of content, but Rise feels so good with the new improvements to movement and fluid animations, and high frame-rates, that it’s truly a joy to play on PC.

    I have high hopes for the next big entry in the franchise, if they use the best parts of Rise, RE Engine, better movement mechanics, a bit more fast paced than World, but with the amazing graphics of World, only even better, can’t wait for what comes next, and for the Sunbreak expansion this summer, for sure.

    I am not a veteran on the series at all, but I feel that with both World and Rise on PC, we have a good base to please most types of MH fans, and a lot to expect for future titles and content, which is great.

    Monster Hunter Rise is a very enjoyable and fun game, one that proves you don’t need the absolute best Graphics in the industry to have a solid experience; the game is just really well done, and getting into a hunt is so straightforward and fast here on PC that it’s just a fantastic experience, as it should be.    … Expand

    i have to compensate here, because there are still too many negative reviews standing that are made because of a technical issue and not reviewing the game itself, while now in july 2022 those issues are solved so its not fair the game gets a lower rating anymore because of that. i came to tell you dont listen to those, because people are butthurt they give the game a zero, which makes noi have to compensate here, because there are still too many negative reviews standing that are made because of a technical issue and not reviewing the game itself, while now in july 2022 those issues are solved so its not fair the game gets a lower rating anymore because of that. i came to tell you dont listen to those, because people are butthurt they give the game a zero, which makes no sense, at least give it a 5 if you dont like it. ive checked out the negative reviews, and people are even rating the gameplay because its "clunky" and "you cant even walk and shoot at the same time"..... while this is actually because your build sucks and you use a weapon that lacks the ability/skills to be more mobile (google; evade extender and recoil for bowguns, it depends on the weapon AND EVEN AMMO TYPE if you can walk and shoot or not) so they are actually giving false information also!! they dont even know how to play the game but their review counts on the metacritic score!!!?? . besides that i had the game since release on pc, played it on my old coming from 2009 pc and on my new 2021 system, and i never had technical issues at all.
    my real rating, compared to a lot of other famous games with high scores, would be a 9/10. for example i have 40 hours in God of War and im done with that game, while i have 200+ with MH Rise and im still playing it. i think at a lot of points this MH game is better than world, i have a lot more fun especially in online multiplayer with MH Rise than with MH World, and since june the expansion Sunbreak has been released, Rise has gotten even better, like twice as big content wise. its a must play game, even if youre not a Monster Hunter fan, this game definitly deserves a place among the best games ever made. Even while the graphics on pc may not be top notch, it still looks amazing because of great design. This game is making me get a lot of new steam friends which no other game on steam does. And that alone is already just great, says a lot about how much fun people can have playing this.    … Expand

    Amazing gameplay, the weapons themselves are equal or better than worlds thanks to the new moves and updates. Though I do miss the sliding and wall running attacks in world. I prefer Worlds monsters slightly but Rise's are great as well, a lot of the new ones especially are very interesting. However the rest of the game pales in comparison to World. The story is much less compelling. IAmazing gameplay, the weapons themselves are equal or better than worlds thanks to the new moves and updates.

I like the design of the characters but there isn't much character development or attachment like there is in world. Not that there's much there either but at least there's some. The designs of the maps in Rise are much worse, but having the dogs and the wirebugs makes traversing them a lot cooler. Not only faster but just being able to go anywhere on the map is awesome. Rampage mode is meh, village is way too easy. Hub is easier than world as well but a bit better. However none of these things are a big deal, because the gameplay is so great I'd say it's only slightly below world as the gameplays the main draw in Monster Hunter for me.… Expand

    Played every MH title since MHFU. Rise is a little simplified, even after World, but as a fan of the series, I enjoyed it.
    Negative: I miss the times when it was you vs. the monster, sometimes a Palico showed up. Now it feels like too many things are happening at once, especially a 4-person MP. We have: 4 players, 4 palicoes, 4 mounts, and the screen becomes an unrecognizable mess.    Played every MH title since MHFU.

    what to say about this game, I started it undervaluing it because of the issue of how the monsters are assembled now and I didn't even buy it on its switch output (I've played mh, mhfu, mhf2, mh3u, mh4u, mhgxx, mhw) but at Seeing that it came out on PC, I decided to buy it on sale and really my few expectations changed radically.

It has a gameplay like no other and it's obvious since each mh game has something different, then its detail in the fights, the graphic optimization, it's too good, the multiplayer felt fresher and faster, the design of the new monsters passed from not liking to being fascinated as soon as I fight against them, and that style of mh3rd but more and more involved in the oriental style is incredible, in short, a monster hunter worthy of playing and that in my opinion is on par with the mhw, that if, comparing it with the mhw without dlc, since the rise lacks a bit for its dlc that you will see but in general a very good experience.… Expand

    I love this game. Why? Simply because after i had over 500 hours in MHW, i got bored and thought, hey imma just buy the new title. And its so good because the game isnt really focused on the story as much as MHW, wich i like. There are so many new monster. Worth Buying!

    Wirebug and Palamute makes MHR fast and fun. Rampage is boring.
    Great soundtracks, great improvement on crafting (less material needed), mining (only 1 hit needed).
    Please add cross-play and cross-save to your next title.
    Played 400+ hours on switch, this port on Steam Deck gets steady 60 FPS. I enjoy it a lot.

    Another case of a possible great game ruined by horrible, sluggish controls. Every button press feels like the player character is underwater; mostly attributed to the large number of unnecessary animations attached to player movement.

Can't just unsheathe the weapon, the character needs to spin the weapon and pose first. Can't just put the weapon away, the player has to pose and spin the weapon first. Can't just drink a healing potion, The character has to pull out the bottle, look at it, pop the cork and spend 10 seconds drinking it slowly. NONE of these animations can be cancelled and lead to you constantly being killed or damaged by the monster. The "dodge" ability (which has no i-frames because this game was made by imbeciles) is almost useless since it doesn't move any faster than the painfully slow footed, character's "run". Melee is a complete joke with overly long attack animations that do not auto track and CAN NOT be directed mid animation; this wouldn't be such an issue if the game had a proper lock-on feature, but it doesn't. I can't forget to mention that many of the enemies move extremely fast and have very aggressive, sweeping or lunging type attacks. Normally, these enemies would be an absolute blast to fight, but not with these controls.

    These issues are the dictionary definition of "artificial difficulty". The devs decided to go with slow witted control as the primary element of game difficulty to cover their inability to be more creative with how to defeat the monsters. This seems to be a theme with talentless game devs nowadays. Make a game, cripple the player's controls and crow about how "challenging" the game is. "Journalists" can be paid to ignore this laziness but, judging by the game's User Score (the score that actually matters), the players can not be fooled. Put this franchise into the hands of a group of competent developers. Monster Hunter, FREAKING MONSTER HUNTER, DESERVES better than the buffoons who set this trash fire.    … Expand

The acting/writing is mediocre, so all of this backstory the game throws at you falls flat on its face, making the intro even more of a slog. I finally got to my first enemy encounter, and BOOM MORE TUTORIALS!! The game takes a break every 10 seconds to hold your hand, I'm talking basic stuff like "*pause* press the left analog stick forward to move your character forward. *unpause* *pause* press the left analog stick left to move left" *unpause* *pasue* press the left analog stick right to move right* unpause *pause* press a to jump *unpause* *pause* hold a to jump higher* unpase" and if you wanted to skip through my anecdote just now, you got a free glimpse of the opening 3 hours of this game (if, unlike me, you actually took the time to listen to all the dialogue, watch all the cutscenes, and read all the tutorial pop ups). I honestly didn't make it any further, I hit my second enemy encounter, the game threw up another tutorial to read about how there are ranged AND melee enemies, and I uninstalled it right then and there. If I had to read through one more submenu I was gonna smash my head through my screen, and the game relies HEAVILY on these menus for every almost every action imaginable.… Expand

    Monster Hunter Rise is a brilliant addition to the Monster Hunter lineup. It delivers incredible combat with newly added monsters and highly-desired mobility. However, it does suffer from messy systems, a mediocre story and can become quite grindy. Despite these flaws though, I have had countless hours of fun and will continue to do so. The co-op aspect just adds even more enjoyment to an already enjoyable game. I just wish the system UI had been redone for PC.
