Ca fait TRES mal de passer de World (le seul mh que j'ai fait) à Rise. En presque tous les points,
Que ce soit techniquement, avec des graphismes douteux, ou même juste dans l'environnement/immersion, avec des zones pas travaillées (et moches), sans saveur, qui sont entourées de paysages tout aussi moches. Appart ça, je trouve ça aussi dommage de devoir choisir dès le début une classe pour son chat ce qui (j'ai l'impression en tout cas) n'est pas changeable. J'aime cependant bien les modifications de certains des gameplays que j'ai essayés avec le genre de grappin avec l'insecte là, et le peu de boss que j'ai fait étaient plutôt cool. J'en suis qu'au début du jeu mais pour l'instant ça ne m'a pas tellement conquis, donc je pense pas relancer de si tôt.

Uhh, so I already hit one credit scene after completing a 6* quest to kill Magnamalo in single-player...and apparently, there are multiple credit scenes, so I'll use these opportunities to journal my thoughts on the game so far.

As someone who did not like MH4U, something about Rise just clicked with me. Was it the beautiful landscapes and charming characters? Was it the ease of learning and gaining power with whatever weapon you wanted? Was it the thrill of the hunt and learning a monster's attack pattern? Or was it D, all of the above? Honestly, I feel you can REALLY enjoy a Monster Hunter game once you have a dedicated buddy to hunt with you, although that is generally true for all online RPGs. Still though, if you commit to the grind of the multiplayer missions, you will easily gain strength. It also helps to find what weapon you want to main, although you can easily switch to any weapon you want in and out of missions. So yeah, definitely get this game to play with friends, but you should probably 1) wait for a discount and b) find some friends to play online or locally (preferably the latter)

MH Rise is the odd crackhead cousin of the Monster hunter family tree: while the other titles are more methodical, slower and more focused on the environmental settings they are building on, Monster Hunter Rise is more about "YO LESGO SPIDERMAN AROUND TO KICK THIS BIRD AND THE USE THE BIRD TO KILL THAT ANIME TIGER BEFORE THE RAMPAGE OR BEARS ARRIVES"

Comparing other MH games to Rise is like comparing the real historical depiction of a ninja with the "Naruto anime ninja" ... which is kinda funny considering the inspirations behind RIse's settings.

Compared to older titles, your movements is fast, energetic, almost limitless... it's soo good that even the monsters struggle to keep up with you (something that luckily the Sunbreak extention fixes heavily). This creates an experience so different compared to the rest of the franchise that is no surprise that it received mixed feelings from the fanbase.

But at the end... you still have a lot of fun with the quirky crackhead cousin: the gameplay is fun and addictive, the design of the monsters is impeccable and full of care as ever, the environments are corgeous (especially considerin Risa was originally a Switch exclusive), and even the story, one of the least interesting parts of a MH game, is able to make to have some slightly touching moments.

One it's own, Monster Hunter Rise works a lot... but if I can suggest something, the extensition Sunbreak fixes a lot of issues of the vanilla game, so I suggest to include that one if you plan to try it.

Monster Hunter Rise feels like the core ideas and mechanics of the game are there and great but get held back massively by being a port of a switch game. Throughout this review I will be comparing to MHW quite a bit as that was the last MH game I played and is apart of the same gen.

Firstly the story of this game was incredibly bare bones. The flagship monster for this game appears for one cutscene and proceeds to die in roughly 15 minutes in a quest not too long after. Magnamalo as a monster is cool and I enjoyed his fight but the build up is non existent and ends way too soon. In comparison to a monster like Nergigante who you repel twice and has enough build up to make him feel like a threat, Magnamalo falls flat hard and it’s a real shame considering how good of a design he has.

Rest of the story follows a pretty similar problem. The rampage never really felt developed on and the appearance and problems Ibushi causes is glossed over and done with very quickly. Narwas even worse for it as you don’t even get to see the resonance as it happens off screen. It all just feels very empty and not enough moment to moment story sections to make me care for the main threats of the game. Once again however design wise the serpents are stunning and their fights are alright but that’s all they’ve got going.

Due to the story being lacklustre the characters suffer also. Despite them being named this time around they don’t get the time to do much or have anything going for them. Even though I thought the characters in world were just okay, they still had the opportunity to interact more because of how the story is structured. Rise doesn’t really give the characters or monsters this chance making the game boil down to just doing hunts with no real link between them excluding the urgent quests. Even then those urgent quests feel quite disconnected and are just like normal hunts.

Like with MHW however, the story for these games is not the primary reason I play these games. I love the lore of the monsters and the world that the games take place in but the actual story I’m fine with being just okay like MHWs. Typically I do like having some kind of strong structure or continuity connecting the quests like MHW but where this game shines the most is in its gameplay.

Rise’s gameplay is incredibly fun. I think the switch skills and move set swapping system was such a good addition to the game and allows for attuning your weapon to whatever you prefer or need. All of these skills don’t get outclassed by their counterpart as each have a specific use that can only be accomplished by using these skills. The Palamutes (mounts) are amazing additions and I’m glad they are going to add something similar to Wilds. Having a mount you can use to freely and quickly traverse the map is great and was needed a lot in MHW.

However this game feels a lot less weighty and impactful with its gameplay as the sound effects and visual effects like screen shake and hit stop aren’t as heavy makes it feel like I’m hitting the monster with a twig at times. The impact is still there for stuff like the hammer and greatsword but unlike MHW where every action felt like there was huge weight behind it, Rise sacrifices that for speedier gameplay which some might prefer.

Visuals are never something I complain about especially since the switch has limited capability but they are obviously lower detail. For the most part this lower detail didn’t bother me as its art style was still incredibly strong and some of the new monsters looked fantastic.

The area design is what I really think this game gets set back by from it being a switch game. Once again in comparison to MHW, there is severely less interaction with the monsters, you and the environment. The areas feel a lot more basic and don’t have these small things that can make hunts unique just off the environment alone. The best example I have is Diablos in MHW and Rise. In MHW I was in the middle of fighting two other monster above this section of desert that solely exists for Diablos to emerge from and engulf the other monsters into it whereas in Rise Diabolos is just another monster in the desert and the environment has nothing unique to interact with.

This was such a huge thing for me in MHW as it was everywhere: the flood taking Rathalos down a cliff, Boulders that can be dropped on monsters, the volcanic eruptions in Elders Recess, The ice crags falling and limiting movement, tons of more examples that made the hunts unpredictable at times and this doesn’t even include certain monsters who will purposely intervene in your fight. None of this was present in Rise and it was a massive shame.

Music as always is brilliant and I really don’t need to comment much on it since this review is long enough. Fits the style of the game and sounds fantastic.

Overall the game is great to put on and get a few hunts in. With small maps and much more favourable options for the hunter it’s easy to hunt a few things and be done within the hour, something that was probably intentional with it being a switch game. MHR doesn’t come without its limitations but I’m still interested to see what Sunbreak has as these games love to save their best for the DLC.

7/10
