the more i think about the story in the latter sections of the game, i feel like this game doesn’t quite deliver as well as it could. overall this is a pretty great spider-man story and an amazing video game,
but it very much could’ve used a little more time for some missing features and some more care for the conclusion

I really think Rise made me decide I wasn't going to talk or put my thoughts on any of these games online until they're fully 100% truly done with updates and while this still has a few more event quests to go that I will gladly get to as it stands this shit is done with Primeval Malzeno.

Sunbreak (from this point on occasionally referred to as Sunrise keep up) is without a shadow of a doubt probably the first one of these I've really been as addicted to as I was to 4U way back on the 3DS. While with Worldborne it eventually became a game of endless deco/KT/Safi farming Sunrise is a game that while as of this moment I have less time put into it than Worldborne unlike that game I can see myself definitely making another character to do an all new playthrough with a year or two from now.

The fantastic and frenetic combat of Rise is back in full swing and as with most G rank titles the monsters are faster and meaner than ever before, but Sunbreak goes even further implementing features and mechanics thought to have been lost with Frontier. Monsters like the Espinas duo and P Malzeno go absolutely berserk and it fucking rules. You can tell this time around the devs and especially the director who has been really open about about his love of Frontier really wanted to bring all that shit back and while I can't speak as someone who has played Frontier the consensus from those who have is enough to tell me they basically got it right. To combat this new ferocious beastiary we get the new scroll swap and switch skill mechanic and while I can definitely see the scrolls being a Sunrise exclusive gameplay element I hope to god switch skills return going forward. Being able to switch out your weapons moves for different ones is a million times more interesting to me as someone who cares more about game feel than the maps feeling alive and like a real ecosystem that Worldborne pushed.

This is also the first MH since 4U where while still having the same nonsense and simple "What could be causing this? Oh, it's monster! Actually it's this monster!" story MH always has it truly gets the feeling across of being on an adventure with a ragtag group to investigate and slay a dragon. It's funny too cause like Worldborne has a similar thing as always going on but it feels dumber in that game than here or 4U or even 3U? I don't know why, but it does. All this eventually culminating with the launch versions dragon satan finale and now the final update's P Malzeno leave me with a feeling of satisfaction that neither Xeno nor Shara really left me with despite the latter's genuinely great fight. Love the characters in this one too. I know it sounds silly considering most of them are just trope characters you see in lots of Japanese media, but Monster Hunter has always had a weird sort of like Jurassic Park 1 likeability to (most of) its characters that I can't help but enjoy interacting with them. Capcom knows this too cause the follower system (another thing kind of taken from Frontier) implemented in this game is really just a dating system lets be real and it better come back. Also if you look like Minayle hmu.

Yeah most of this review sounds like rambling, but I've got a year of shit to say and I've had plenty of time to reflect on and honestly I really really really like this game. It's a feeling like I've mentioned I haven't felt towards a Monster Hunter since 4U around 8 years ago (Jesus Christ kill me). Sure I can criticize how the roster isn't as big as GU's (stupid). Hell I could criticize the super slow grind of the Anomaly system, but I personally don't mind it. It's a much more passive grind that I could play at whatever pace I wanted and all the post launch monsters don't really require all the shit you get from it to fight them. Afflicted monsters being a genuinely fun challenge and the THE best version of endgame powered monsters (this is not arguable don't even bother) only helps. Loved the secondary combat mechanic of hitting the glowing bits like hyper monsters, but unlike them it actually feels like it does something. Love the knockdowns leading to tired state for easy hits after doing enough damage, but unlike 4U Apexes it's not annoying as fuck to get there without some shitty extra item. Love that they actually get cool slight distinct visuals aspects (Khezu full on looks like Red Khezu, Luna looks like a super Odo), as opposed to the boring violet metallic tint of World's tempered monsters. Yeah I'm shilling hard and I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, this game is better than Worldborne. What it lacks in fidelity (made up for by better art direction here anyways) it more than makes up for in being actually fun to play and having creative combat scenarios that could never be done in that game's slower pacing or shitty attempts at MMO raid type battle.

Oh my lord the music of this game too. I am very vocal in my dislike of some of World's tracks (Iceborne is definitely a bit better about this), but Sunbreak like Rise before it goes all in with some of the coolest original tracks in the series alongside remaking older ones in a much closer fashion to their originals while still adding in new touches to make them feel fresh. The end result is just chefs kiss baby. Peak MH OST.

Sunbreak may not be perfect and it kind of like Generations Ultimate is hampered by a good as fuck but also kind of weaker first half (Gen portion in GU Rise portion here), but by the time you're dug in like a tick in Sunbreak that shit won't matter when Fiorayne leaps through the sky and slamshitfucks Pacific Rim back into the Earth. Yeah, I'm thinking I'll be playing this still a fuckton while waiting for MH6 and years away from now too.

As a person who yoinked the username bombrushcyberfunk on instagram as soon it was revealed by that alone should tell you how much I was looking forward to this game, The jet set radio games have been apart of my life for a long time and their entire style and personality are huge to me and what I like.

Now, offrip BRCF fucking nails the entire artstyle, art, designs, and graffiti. It takes more of a jsr future look with the colors and environments with insane verticality, ramps, etc. The soundtrack as well while not as good as future imo it stands on it's own with unique sounds and it got me to play the entire game even after I finished it while only listening to its ost I personally think It's great. Personal standouts are Condensed Milk and Wanna kno (btw bringing 2mello on was a sick pick).

The gameplay is what I was most worried about for 3 years but honestly I think it's pretty damn good especially for a first foree, My biggest complaint is that for the normal moves its just press a button which I found lame compared to growing up with Tony Hawk games however I say this but I found it really engaging especially to play while in bed and I think its because the move set blends really well with the environments their crafted so well to work with each its so fun to make your way across the map in the sauciest way possible flipping in and out your traversal and doing boost tricks for that extra distance you need I think it's very well made but I definitely understand why people say it can be low energy or too simple cause of the gaps of sfx between and such. One BIG complaint to me though is that the graffiti stops you in your tracks but honestly when you memorize your favorite graffiti and can do them in a flash it's smoooooth and fun as heeelllll either way I'd like an option to choose one you can do quick after you beat the game instead of that but it didn't bog down the experience to me.

Story-wise honestly there's some batshit elements but it's a simplistic coming up story while fighting the police that reminds me of the jet set games wish it did more with some of the characters but there is some SHINY gold nuggets of lines written in there that really stuck with me along with some really entertaining humor.

The missions in this game while simple and reminiscent of those extreme sport games on ps2 I think they're done well and serve the story and all that good shit however I wish there was more variety across the areas but still really enjoyed what they did have.

and some smaller things with this game I don't want to gloss over, the controls feel great, I love the fact that you can switch between traversals however I wish each one had more than just different tricks and animations, the manual is so much better than the slide with the skates I chose skateboard every time. Also the areas are all pretty good with each one having a secret section and having a multitude of ways to try to get different scores and tackling them it ties into what I said with the gameplay but super well made Imo.

Overall I'm more than happy with this game I honestly think it surpasses the jsr duology in quite a few regards but there are some minor things I think hold it back and I would LOVE to see fixed or tackled in a sequel. Team Reptile u did good first time in a while my most anticipated game has lived up to what I wanted

Edit: I forgot the combat it kind of fucking sucks tbh BUT you can avoid it and it's more fun to bob and weave shit instead of fight

i was supposed to do my fucking homework and i played this entire game in one sitting and it fucking sucks i hate myself

This shit is a bad day cure right here. I replay this like every other month and never get tired of it.

I owe this game a lot of who I am and what I like currently and I still love the absolute shit out of this game.

Obviously it's not nearly this perfect game but I love this game even for it's weird ass decisions and all. Gimme more shitty gimmick levels i fucking love picking up girls in a planter truck and having to do 50k combo to get them to come to my party.

I just really love the personality of this game and personally I think it's the height of the series gameplay. This game also makes me appreciate absolute dickhead villains with no redemption and the satisfaction of shutting them up s/o Eric Sparrow.
