Far from scaling down, Monster Hunter Rise builds on the accessible streamlining from Monster Hunter World for a wilder action-packed hunting fest with even cooler abilities, inspired new features and modes, all while boasting one of the best looking games on Switch that makes the hardware truly sing. Newcomers will feel at ease, while veterans will find plenty of ways to experiment with the new mechanics and tackle its toughest monsters (with more to come in post-launch updates), with the two ideally coming together to help one another in local or online multiplayer. Whichever you might be, sharpen your weapon of choice, as you won’t want to miss out on one of the best games of 2021.
