Summary

After a few hours with the PC version, Daniel condemns its dated graphics, flat lighting, bulky armor, and cluttered, colorful interface. He finds combat clunky and unresponsive: oversized monsters disrupt the camera, knockdowns recur, targets flee repeatedly, and enemy health is unclear. He scores it 1.8/10, calling £50–£60 Monster Hunter Rise inferior to £35 New World despite appealing monsters, music, world, and Japanese theme.

Insight

He evaluates Monster Hunter primarily through New World, making price and presentation decisive despite acknowledging its Japanese appeal.
