I'm convinced that 'Monster Hunter Rise' is the best 'Monster Hunter' game. And with 'Sunbreak,' the 'Rise' experience feels complete. The old joke goes that the entire 'Monster Hunter' story campaign (through Low and High Ranks) is the tutorial and G Rank (now Master Rank) is the actual game. 'Sunbreak' expects that you've mastered the base game and makes bigger demands on your hunting efforts. Even still, progress is swift. The return of classic monsters and the new additions here in 'Sunbreak' are all a joy to hunt. I'll admit that the new Follower Collab Quests didn't do much for me, but 'Sunbreak' otherwise reaffirms 'Rise' as the best 'Monster Hunter' and 'Monster Hunter' as the best(ish) video game series.
