DISCLAIMER: I hated World and I’m pretty sure my disdain for it and the fact it made me lose all interest in the series for a few years made me really biased towards Rise. I used to go hard with this series and I think I’m definitely more of a casual player now, but Monster Hunter has definitely taken back its place as my favourite multiplayer game. I’m so thankful for Rise. The series feels fun again and I love the minor QOL changes they continued from World while still keeping the ‘classic’ Monster Hunter feel. I hope they continue adding more new monsters in updates when Sunbreak releases, because I’ve honestly hunted everything a few times at this point. (Written in 2021)
