MONSTER HUNTER RISE

hw

Nice game, the fights are more fluent than in older games, and riding monsters is fun too. I enjoyed playing it, but there are some things to consider: Small amount of monsters. There are new monsters in Sunbreak, but I feel like there are too many old monsters with new modifications compared to the amount of completely new monsters. First you meet monster A in Low Rank, then monster A in High Rank, and finally in the expansion you meet monster A again in Master Rank with some new modifications. I would rather see more completely new monsters instead of so many modified versions of old ones. Small amount of maps compared to older games. The maps themselves are really well designed, beautiful, and their complexity feels well balanced. Knowing the map allows you to find shorter ways to your destination, which gives a nice feeling of learning and getting to know the world. So while there aren't many maps, I really like their design and how they reward you for learning them. Armor skills are much easier to activate compared to old games, but because of this and decorations, armors have lost their identity. You can build pretty much anything and it's almost always viable to play. This also takes away some of the motivation to farm armor sets. Overall, if you like the older games, you may like it more than MH: World because getting into the actual gameplay is much faster! You pick a quest and you're ready to go, just like in the old times :D
