The game runs perfectly fine on ps5... On average 30+ frames higher than the switch counterpart. The game was designed basically by the portable monster hunter team (The one's that worked on the psp titles) it was made to be played with portable gaming in mind, people who played world will find it's a less cinimatic game with more emphasis on combat. The combat also is faster and more mobile than world, but the actually quests themselves are not as difficult. I would say this is the best starting part to get into the series but Monster Hunter is not for everyone, it's a game that rewards you for learning the mechanics and not forgiving you if you don't. If you're a fan of online (can also be played offline) action rpgs with loot mechanics you can't do any better than Monster Hunter but not everyone will have the patience to master the mechanics.… Expand

    This game is tight. Despite being a remastered switch game, it looks absolutely gorgeous on Ps5 in 4k, smooth framerate, up to 120fps, various performance options. It's not as detailed as World/Iceborne but it's just as fun to play, with a ton of monsters to hunt. The new wirebugs feature and doggy pet makes your hunter move around like never before. Recommended to any true monster hunter fan.

    Thoughts-
    Monster Hunter has been on a great run, and it’s great to have another entry in the books that knows well why it works and emphasizes that as much as possible. Rise is as accessible and enjoyable as World, if not as content-rich, but it takes what made the formula work and continues pushing it forward. Not everything works perfectly, but for a game that has so firmly created a unique identity, Monster Hunter Rise provides some of the most rewarding, fun core gameplay the genre has offered to date.    … Expand

    Finally, out of the performance hell that is the switch, this game actually looks good now. PC gamers enjoyed this earlier but now more people can, the game is great now that sunbreak is out, like every MH it does take patience to get over the tutorial system but once you are in, you are hooked good.

    I have been a fan of the Monster Hunter series since 3DS. I loved MH World, but this one even though with worse textures because it is a port from Switch, It made some changes that make gameplay a lot better like the Wirebugs and the Palamutes. I'm really loving it and recommend it if you are a fan of this type of games.

    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.    … Expand

    Game is fantastic for monster hunter lover. Looks like a downgrade(graphic and some mechanics duo to port) but in general is more of everything what you need. I spent a lot of hours on MHW and I will repeat on this one aswell.

    I have more than 100hours in MHworld. I didnot expect MHR to be better. Was afraid it was like MHW with lower graphics. But it is not. It is a better game overall. Even if maps are less good-looking compared to MHW, this is absolutely not the case of monsters, They are even better overall imo. Everything runs smooth at 60fps. And there are great additions to core gameplay. I recommend

    Minhas primeiras impressões - Monster Hunter Rise Next-Gen.

    ✅INTRODUÇÃO Monster Hunter Rise foi lançado em março de 2021 para Nintendo Switch e em janeiro de 2022 para PC e foi lançado no dia 20/01/2023 para consoles PlayStation e Xbox em 4K/60 FPS na atual geração e até mesmo nos consoles mais fortes da geração passada, PlayStation 4 Pro e Xbox One X. Já o PlayStation 4 e Xbox One    Minhas primeiras impressões - Monster Hunter Rise Next-Gen.

    ✅INTRODUÇÃO

    Monster Hunter Rise foi lançado em março de 2021 para Nintendo Switch e em janeiro de 2022 para PC e foi lançado no dia 20/01/2023 para consoles PlayStation e Xbox em 4K/60 FPS na atual geração e até mesmo nos consoles mais fortes da geração passada, PlayStation 4 Pro e Xbox One X. Já o PlayStation 4 e Xbox One rodam o game em 1080p. O PS5 e Xbox Series conseguem rodar em 120 FPS com uma TV com suporte a essa taxa de atualização de imagem.

    ☝️Obs Por enquanto, somente o jogo base estará disponível, já que a expansão *“Sunbreak” chegará depois em uma data ainda a ser confirmada, possivelmente deve chegar em junho ou julho 2023.

    ✅IMPRESSÕES
    Joguei por duas horas e foi uma experiência bem positiva. Curtir muito os gráficos e o desempenho da gameplay. Outro ponto bem interessante é o modo cooperativo online.
    O sistema de "matchmaking" está funcionando perfeitamente. Consegui jogar 6 partidas quase na sequência e não tive nenhum tipo de problema, como queda ou algo do gênero. Também é possível encontrar vários jogadores sem muita dificuldade.
    Agora um ponto negativo é que o game não traz o suporte para Cross play.
    Os jogadores poderão jogar coop apenas entre as próprias plataformas (exemplo: PS4 e PS5). No máximo, quem estiver jogando pela Microsoft Store ou Game Pass no PC, poderão jogar com jogadores de Xbox (One e Series). Nintendo Switch permanece sozinho.

    ---PONTOS POSITIVOS---

    ✅ GRÁFICO / DESEMPENHO – ((SATISFATÓRIO E EXCELENTE))
    Gráfico está satisfatório, melhorou bastante a textura e o carregamento. Tanto que melhorou bastante ambiente e está bem mais bonito. Complementado mais ainda, desempenho está excelente.

    ✅ MODO COMPERATIVO E ONLINE – ((EXCELENTE))

    A Capcom, como sempre, dedicou 100% dos seus servidores. A busca por jogadores está muito mais rápida e encontrar partidas está muito mais fácil. Se preferir, também pode jogar sozinho no modo online.

    ✅ PREÇO ACESSIVEL / GAME PASS – ((SATISFATÓRIO E EXCELENTE))

    A precificação está bem acessível. O jogo está custando em média de R$ 184,90. Acredito que o preço está bem justo. Os fãs de "Monster Hunter Rise" que jogam no Xbox podem desfrutar do jogo através do gamepass, sem custo nenhum.

    ✅ VALE A PENA COMPRAR?

    Para ser sincero, para quem jogou a franquia "Monster Hunter Rise", recomendo muito este game porque, ele entrega uma experiência fantástica e uma jogabilidade renovada da saga Monster Hunter. Temos um novo sistema de combate ((Barra de Cabinseto)) que você pode integrar suas armas e isso ajuda e muito na hora da luta. Também temos ((Amicão)), achei genial introduzir isso no game. Podemos nos locomover bem mais rápido com o "Amicão".    … Expand

Some thing are way worst than Monster Hunter Icebourne, and to that I'm referring to the armors and layered armors, that in World monsters had two set variations and in Rise they only have one and some new monsters, like the Apex, has zero. But the multiplayer part of the game got way better with the Gathering Hub being accessible from the beginning and being able to join a multiplayer quest before start(in World you would have to go to a quest, see the monster cut scene, quit the quest and then you could join other people in quest of that monster or after the cut scene people could join yours but all that was a pain in the ass). The first hour of the game it's really annoying with all that text tutorial, but I didn't mind at all.… Expand

    Suppose you were very patient and hoped that Monster Hunter Rise would come out on PS5. Guess what, congratulations. In that case, you will have a very worthy version of an entertaining video game that, until now, could only be enjoyed on two different power platforms. The battles against the enormous monsters, the duels to defend your village, and even the music make the gaming experience worthwhile.

    While there’s been no content added to either the PlayStation or Xbox versions, you’ll still have plenty to do here. There’s the main questline to engage with that’ll take you through multiple monster quest tiers, which is somewhat short compared to other Monster Hunter titles. But the online hub quests expand that out even further, offering up more story content that goes beyond the end credits of the game, and has a number of challenging fights for experienced hunters. There’s also a whole host of free downloadable quests to engage with, encompassing the free DLC that’s come out on prior versions of the game. All in all, you’ll be able to spend a lot of time exploring and hunting down giant monsters, which is pretty much what you want out of a new Monster Hunter game.
