Reviews from

in the past


Adequate but it did not grab me. Village life and exploration is okay but was just not motivated to finish this, no matter how short it is. Maybe I’ll give it a proper go another time.

my first monster hunter game,i liked it

not used to the series but damn i wish my monster killing wasn't always interrupted by all this other stuff i dont care about

Like I get that its a switch game but this game is so boring

great gameplay better than world but there was barely a story


My first monhun, charge blade its crazy fun

I wish fighting the monsters in this game didn't feel like fighting a baby with a large weapon. Player strength way strong for the nerfed monsters and rampages SUCK.

I've never played a Monster Hunter game before this one (besides like five minutes of 4 Ultimate, which I now own so I'll play it before 3DS servers shut down) so for an introduction to the series, it definitely triumphs in that regard. If you've never played a Monster Hunter game before, probably start here.

After dropping 50 hours (and a good chunk of my winter break) into this game, I can definitely say I'm a fan, but wish it had a little more to it. Areas in the game feel a bit empty, Monster AI is pretty rough, and without Sunbreak it does feel a little short (the village section), but I do love playing online and the combat system.

I had my dad walk in one evening and say the graphics were "pretty impressive" and I responded "yeah, for a Switch game" but it's no hyper-realistic game or anything. If you like collectathon style games, this might be up your alley. Give it a shot (or Worlds if you're on PC because that's the better option.)

Really good monster hunter game. The graphics are a bit off-putting but it makes sense because its a switch title. The wirebugs are a great mechanic. Really cool monster designs

No es mi tipo de juego, pero se nota que los monstruitos están bastante bien pensados y por lo que tengo entendido cuando termina el juego empieza todo el contenido de verdad jeje pero no llegué a jugarlo.

Ok, vim me retratar da minha review, o jogo é realmente muito bom e uma continuação de alto nível para MHW, parece ser muito mais difícil, mas rapidamente tu pega a manha e vira um jogaço, um 8,5 facilmente

i dont like you and you are STILL a 4.5/10

hooolllyyy shit i can hunt monsters

May update: I finished all the online stuff for basegame. Ending was kind of out of nowhere, but the boss battles were fun.

A very nice modernisation of Monster Hunter mecanics

Simply fun, I find it much more fun and engaging. A lot less downtime than I felt with MH world

At first, I was disappointed by MH Rise. It lacked the detailed ecosystems, lush graphics, and (so I thought) polish of World. This was never, however, intended to be World 2, and shouldn't be judged as such. Originally exclusive to the Swtich, Rise is far closer to a mix of the modernized QoL improvements of World and much of what made the countless handheld entries of the past so unique, themselves.

When I realized that the new monsters were based on Yokai and each had their own black and white samurai/horror film introduction (complete with film grain) I began to fall under its charms. The singing waifu in a kimono on the title screen made me initially wonder why the series was going in such a generic, more overtly Japanese direction, style-wise, as opposed to the cavepunk trappings World. I soon realized that it was a match made in heaven (and I believe not a first for the series, technically). Rise in my opinon, has the most character of all the Monster Hunters I've played. There is so much charm and love in every corner of this game.

Purists who love the games represented in MH Generations: Ultimate might balk at aspects of this entry, as will lovers of World (like I initially did). I ask, however, "Why not find reasons to love them all?"

I know I do.

Although I enjoyed the game, I have to say that it really doesn't stack up to World, aside from some QOL features that I really hope stay in the franchise moving forward.

Lack of content on release was egregious, even for a high rank game.

Extremely enjoyable game w friends.
Need to beat Sunbreak one day

It took about 70 hours to beat the base game with pretty much all the quests finished. I love how fast the movement is in this. It feels so much better to play than World

"Bunny Dangos are taste of heaven!"

I loved the musics of this game more than game itself. Monster Hunter gibberish language should be legit one!

Bicho grande. Espada más grande. Matar bicho. Vestir bicho. Hacer espada con bicho. Repetir con nuevo bicho.


Pre-Sunbreak, I thought this game was a nightmare. With Sunbreak I'd give it a 4 star.

Nunca tinha jogado nenhum monster hunter e achei legal. As missoes sao meio grindy demais pra eu ter vontade de terminar o jogo, mas oq experimentei no quesito combate e etc me satisfez bastante.

im taking half a star off cuz world is much better quality wise, but this is a GREAT introduction to the series for sure!!! so play it!
