Monster Hunter Rise free and plentiful post game support has made it one of the series most complete packages
Top Critic
Monster Hunter Rise mixes classic Monster Hunter ideas with some of World's best improvements and a whole bunch of clever new mechanics of its own.
Top Critic
With smart additions that move the series forward, this is the most accessible, deepest and simply very best Monster Hunter to date.
Top Critic
A fantastic tour de force for the Switch and arguably the best Monster Hunter game ever, with a huge range of features and monsters, both new and old, and great co-op gameplay.
Top Critic
Monster Hunter Rise is a great adventure, providing fascinating new tools like the Wirebug and walking a fine line between arcade and fast-paced HD gameplay. The Rampages are a neat new addition when used sparingly, but a reliance on online hunts to finish Rise's story is a puzzling step.

Fighting different beasts is always a blast. However, the time you spend outside of combat pales in comparison to your epic encounters
Top Critic
Monster Hunter Rise's renewed focus on fully-fledged action represents the series at the peak of its powers.
Top Critic
Rise’s gameplay variety and mobility — all fueled by that little Wirebug — make it a must-try game for Monster Hunter skeptics and hardcore fans alike.
Top Critic
Fans who love Monster Hunter exclusively for the hunts will likely welcome the raised emphasis on taking on major monsters as quickly as possible. However, Rise is missing some of the worldbuilding of Monster Hunter: World, which will make it feel a bit emptier for players who prefer to stop and smell the roses.
