    This game feels like a big money-grab from Capcom. MHR for the ps5 should have been released with the sunbreak expansion. Without the DLC there is no real endgame. The majority of updates dont apply tho the base game, so you kinda finished after 15 hours playtime.

    Yes. It is a switch port. So graphics are just ok and expected.

    But the game feels slow and unresponsive. And the UI is HUGE! It takes way too much of the screen and needs a scaling features so that you can see the UI but not be dominated by it. The endless chat boxes are annoying. The chat boxes and UI kill it for me.

    Should be called Menu Hunter. I spent the first hour and a half of this game skipping through tutorials and dialogue; its a neverending infodump, little of which I actually cared about.

I spent the first hour and a half of this game skipping through tutorials and dialogue; its a neverending infodump, little of which I actually cared about. Every system is overly complicated and convoluted, you will spend more time looking through menu screens than you will hunting monsters. The acting 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. 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.… Expand

    Graphics aren't great. Gameplay is meh. Not as good as the last one. This one doesn't pass for me.

    O jogo é ridículo! Isso não é monster hunter! Uma vergonha um jogo como esse ser chamado de monster hunter. Mil vezes o MH iceborne do que essa patifaria aí.

    Enemies are just too hard.
    The action is too slow and unexhilarating.
    Weapon sharpness gauges are a hindrance. Collecting materials is work.

    You have to like jRPGs to enjoy this game and it is not for everybody. I got bored after 30 min reading boxes of text explaining things that should be designed as an action tutorial and not text. This game feels like it was designed in 90s and I have no idea how it gets 87 Metascore and Witcher 3 "only" 93. These two games could not be more far apart in quality of game physics and generalYou have to like jRPGs to enjoy this game and it is not for everybody.

    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.

    Rise evolves World’s approachable template into an even more fun and faster-paced entry with brilliant new mechanics and the series’ most inspired designs. [Issue#24, p.70]

    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.
