Monster Hunter Rise brings the series back to a more traditional setting while bringing along with it more quality of life changes than World/Iceborne did. This is the best starting place for new hunters and also a great game to return to for players that may have been burnt from World's awful endgame. While it may not have as much content as other base games in the series the style and art direction carry this game and make you fall in love with Kamura village and its colorful cast of characters.

So far I have over 57 hours on my save and have completed every Monster hunt available while still being addicted to grinding out materials to make weapons and sets for the rest of the weapons I use.
