Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak

Our analysis

Sunbreak makes Monster Hunter combat more enjoyable with expanded switch skills, memorable monsters, and welcome quality of life improvements. Its more engaging story adds to an expansion the reviewer calls the best the series has felt to play.

Our analysis

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak adds enjoyable master rank hunts, new monsters, gear and locations while refining the familiar combat. It is worth it for fans, though the early difficulty disappoints and the reviewer would prefer a lower price.

Our analysis

Sunbreak delivers outstanding monster battles and enriches Rise's core mechanics, making buffs and skill experimentation more rewarding. Repeated monsters slow progression, and the first Anomaly Quest feels tedious, but the expansion remains excellent.
