The Monster Hunter series is something that I’ve been hooked on since the days of Monster Hunter Freedom on the PSP. There’s something about forging giant weapons and trekking out to slay massive monsters that really works for me. The latest in the series; Monster Hunter Rise, is a Nintendo Switch exclusive and I think the first thing that really stood out is how good it looks and runs on this console.
One thing that concerned me coming into game was that it would be more or less the same experience as Monster Hunter World, which was only released a few years ago. But I think this is the greatest strength of Rise. It has loads of new additions to the gameplay that makes it both faster, and fresh, and this is exactly what I wanted.
