I played the game on my ginormous 82-inch TV, which is usually great at magnifying visual flaws, and the PS5 version of Monster Hunter Rise looks like a champ.

The good news is that Monster Hunter Rise on the PS5 looks great and also plays great to boot. The more you know, as they say… So how does Monster Hunter Rise look on the PS5? Heck, go ahead and check out my Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak review if you haven’t already. For folks who want to see or hear detailed comparisons between different versions like the PS5, Switch and PC, I’m actually not allowed to do so prior to release so that will have to wait for now.Īlso, my thoughts about the base Rise game itself are still pretty much the same as when I reviewed the original version in 2021 so feel free to check my Monster Hunter Rise Switch review for a more thorough take on things like mechanics, monsters and other features.

In my case, I was provided a review copy for Playstation consoles and opted to download the PS5 version so that’s what this article will be focusing on.

The series, after all, debuted on the PlayStation 2 way back in 2004 and while I enjoyed all its forays on the various Nintendo systems, there’s something about playing Monster Hunter on a Playstation console that just feels right.īy the way, Monster Hunter Rise will also be launching at the same time on PS4 as well as Xbox One and Series S and Series X. So come January 20, “you get Monster Hunter Rise, and you get Monster Hunter Rise, and you get Monster Hunter Rise - everybody gets Monster Hunter Rise!”

Solo it would be very annoying.Monster Hunter Rise on the Playstation 5 is finally upon us after its initial stint on the Switch and PC and that’s a good thing.

Some of these defense missions are mandatory to increase your Hunter Rank, so you may need to buy PlayStation Plus to play with other people online for this. The Hub missions are geared towards co-op gameplay so it shouldn’t be a surprise but if you are a mostly-solo player like me keep this in mind. I liked the idea of this new mission type, but the High-Rank village defenses were the only time it felt imbalanced for solo players. You have to stop the monsters from breaking through the main gate of the village. These are things like placing bombs on the paths of monsters and building ballistae to shoot monsters with. In this mode you must fight waves of monsters by building defenses. There is one new mission type that stands out: Village Defense. Now it feels like a real Monster Hunter experience. In Hub Quests the monsters have comparable health to Monster Hunter World. They are meant for 4 players but are also feasible solo – your 2 AI helpers, the “Palico” and “Palamute” will help you out. That’s where the Hub Quests come into play. I was surprised when the credits started rolling already after a few hours of gameplay.Īs any Monster Hunter player will know, the real game starts when you hit High-Rank. Just as an MH: World Veteran you will find it a bit too easy.

For a portable game this “fast and easy” approach is fair. In a way, it makes sense that the story quests are so easy and short, thus Switch-players on the go can do a quest during a quick break instead of pumping 25-40 minutes into a single hunt. It required far less equipment optimization than World. I wanted to see how far I can get without farming anything and got through it fine with the Basic Hammer and crafting new Armor when it became available. Granted, if you haven’t played Monster Hunter before there will be a bigger learning curve and it will take longer. The monsters have very little health, most story hunts took me only 5-8 minutes. There are two types of quests “Village” and “Hub”. All these mechanics make the game easier than World.īesides this, the main story quests are also noticeably easier than World. This makes for some interesting matchups. Then you can usually ride one and use it to attack the other monster. Riding hostile monsters is also possible and triggers when two monsters clash together. You can also use it to ride away from fights quickly if you are close to death. The Palamute is a game-changer as it lets you ride around the map at high speed to hunt down monsters quickly. The main gameplay-affecting additions are The Palamute, which is a dog-like mount you can ride on, and the Wiredash ability that allows you to jump in the air from anywhere by pressing L2+R2, then you can follow up with powerful midair attacks.
