“I love this game, but unfortunately, the hair options in character customization are fewer than in the previous game (Monster Hunter World). I just want my character to look as beautiful as she did in MH World, hehe.…”
“It’s really fun to play—full of monsters and interesting biomes. The attack feels a bit weird at the beginning, but once you get used to it, it doesn’t feel that way anymore. When I first started playing (because my…”
“It's a fun game, but simply not as good as World or Wilds, but through no fault of its own. The mechanics are fun, the Canyne partner/mount is great, and there's a fantastic amount of content with many locales and…”

“Another enjoyable game, and (in my opinion) better than MH: World. This game inherited the stupidities of the Monster Hunter series, but I won't write about them here because I play those games DESPITE the fact that…”

“Rise is mediocre. Sunbreak is peak. This review is a combination of Rise and its DLC, Sunbreak. Rise suffered during its development period. Even with the patches that added stuff, it still feels unfinished. Sunbreak…”
“116 hrs in, Long Sword only—and I still can’t consistently hit my counters 😂 Super fun game though. Feels amazing when combos land, but I’ve got a lot to learn. Worth it. Also picked up Sunbreak. Definitely worth it if…”

“I genuinely, love Monster Hunter lore and monster since Monster Hunter World (did not played the olders). So I really enjoy playing this one too. I like seing monsters I saw in World's, it just brings back memories! The…”
“Base game is great, when you get into sunbreak you get bombarded by lazy designs, horrible hitboxes, and thoughts of killing someone. If you want this game don't get sunbreak, everyone who worked on sunbreak should be…”
“I love the roster, but otherwise I can't stand how arcade-y this entry is. Not a bad game, but it's just not my favorite game in the franchise.”

“Much better improvement than the original game. You now have transportation so grinding in this game is a much more pleasant experience. The maps are also layed out much easier to follow to find your prey and finish it…”
“It's the best Monster Hunter game and a top game overall even when compared to other genres. The music is incredible, especially "Sanctuary Abandoned by the Gods" and "Cold Blues and Flaming Reds", but there's something…”

“A very fun game with stable 60FPS performance in highest settings. Learning curves and grinding are a bit rough but once you get a hold of them, you may find this game is a very good starting point to the Monster Hunter…”
“Le good! Sunbreak makes it so much better. Sadly the game is extremely easy for the most part, but this could be said about all the new gen MH games.”
“The opening hours are a bit rough, with overwhelming tutorials and too many weapons to try at once. However, once you find your groove, the game really clicks.”

— a player, Steam review · 129 hrs played“- The beauty of the MMO world This game is truly a masterpiece with no downsides. If you want to try an open-world game, give this one a go. It's truly fantastic, with a variety of weapons and many characters. - The best thing about it is character building.”
— a player, Steam review · 18 hrs played“Capcom needs to be called out for adding shady DRM to games we already own years after their Denuvo expires. Why do you do this Capcom? You only hurt paying customers and consumers with practices like this. This game had almost no performance issues until Enigma was added. Stop…”
