It hasn’t been too way back when Monster Hunter Rise lastly landed on the consoles and now we’ve got Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak enlargement. And to not anybody’s shock, it was an enormous hit particularly to these itching for the subsequent Monster Hunter recreation within the sequence after console homeowners felt ignored when it initially solely got here out on the Nintendo Change that adopted a PC launch final yr. With that mentioned, the much-awaited enlargement “Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak” is lastly right here and with it, comes a slew of recent content material and future help that may observe within the coming months.
Whereas it nonetheless pains me to see that I’ll in all probability have to attend a bit longer for the subsequent recreation so as to add what Monster Hunter World got here up with in its 16 participant lobbies, Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak brings lots to the desk that may hold me entertained till then.
The Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak enlargement begins proper after ending the primary recreation’s core marketing campaign. Right here, you’ll be greeted by a brand new character proper on the bridge main as much as the village of Kamura. As soon as all of the pleasantries are over, you’ll be tasked to hunt what’s arguably the one time you’ll ever really feel highly effective together with your present end-game gear. Your goal, the Daimyo Hermitaur is your welcoming committee to the world of Grasp Rank with new areas to discover, monsters to hunt and a brand new hub to do all of your prep for the subsequent 1000’s of hours of searching and exploration.
A model new world… and a brand-new hub
The problem of monsters ramps up significantly right here so greatest be ready to get some recent new gear prepared if you end up struggling to maintain up. Just like how the Iceborne enlargement to Monster Hunter World introduced a recent change to the sequence with its clutch claw mechanic, Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak isn’t any completely different and also you’ll discover early on that you’ll get entry to the most important recreation changer to the way you play the sport.
The Change Ability Swap which is principally a secondary loadout of your Change Abilities that drastically adjustments the move of the sport. In contrast to the clutch claw from Iceborne, it doesn’t simply add a brand new function to your searching rotation however it principally provides you entry to a secondary playstyle inside a flick of a button. The primary few occasions I bought entry to it and regardless of having 3000 hours spent on MHW enjoying each weapon sort and an additional 300 hours on the Nintendo Change model of Rise, it actually made me overlook learn how to play the sport or learn how to use the mechanic effectively.
However when you get a great grasp on how one can put it to use, the sport turns into that a lot smoother in its execution particularly when sure actions are simpler than others in opposition to sure varieties of monsters. So with the ability to change what your inputs do on the fly, does wonders in offering simply that.
New silkbind assaults has additionally been added which additional emphasizes the necessity for a Change Ability Swap function ought to you’ll want to use these in favor of others however actually, the one factor that made me bounce for pleasure right here is the addition of NPC companions known as followers if you’re enjoying alone.
Whereas searching with my palico and palamute is sweet, with the ability to simply have human-like companions round that often drops some tiny banters right here and there simply completes it for me. It additionally simply provides a degree of element figuring out you’ll be able to deepen your bond with characters within the recreation as you do their follower quests and convey them alongside by yourself hunts later.
It’s additionally fairly good to see the change in themes from the bottom recreation’s Japanese-inspired theme to the extra gallant knights and medieval theme its going for with the primary characters within the recreation’s enlargement. In the meantime the sport’s new hub space brings in a extra compact and easy-to-access structure in comparison with the bottom recreation’s Kamura Village the place all the pieces takes some time to get to and the extra open space of the outpost is certainly lots livelier whereas additionally offering higher methods to lounge round with associates with out being cramped within the roofs of Kamura’s personal hub.
What’s a bit disappointing although is its lack of extra areas to discover. The 2 added areas, the Jungle and Citadel, itself supplies massive areas to hunt and discover and actually matches the invoice for the theme they’re going for however having a 3rd one might’ve undoubtedly sealed the deal for me right here particularly since one among two areas is only a returning space from the franchise than a totally new one which has but to be seen elsewhere.
And as a Monster Hunter recreation, the primary beef of the title is all about searching monsters however sadly, it solely brings a handful of recent monsters to the carving desk. Though, variants of beforehand hunted monsters are a loads. From the Blood Orange Bishaten you’ll face attain to Grasp Rank 2 to the wretched Almudron that’s now harnessing the facility of magma. It’s price noting that whereas it doesn’t have lots proper now, every title replace brings in additional potential monsters and variants that we’ll have the ability to hunt or get carted on later.
Fortunately, hunters around the globe that owns the Ps or Xbox model wouldn’t have to start out from base Sunbreak as the sport launches with as much as Title Replace 3 proper from the get go whereas different updates will come at a later date.

One other factor price noting right here is that when you’ve really completed the enlargement’s marketing campaign, you’ll get entry to the brand new end-game exercise generally known as anomaly investigations. That is the place monsters can get progressively stronger as your investigation degree rises. Right here, you’ll combat stricken monsters in a endless battle for survival and glossy loots the place you’ll have the ability to craft end-game gear and weapons as you kill each single one among them or not less than, die making an attempt.
I’m in all probability the worst particular person to inform you this as a Monster Hunter fanatic and an enormous fan of the style however should you’re an enormous fan as I’m, I’m not even positive why you’re right here, simply purchase it. In case you’re somebody nonetheless making an attempt to justify the worth tag after making an attempt out Monster Hunter Rise and loved it, then purchase it. In case you haven’t purchased Rise and needed to get into the style, I wouldn’t should spell it out to you however purchase it. The franchise has by no means been this enjoyable and simply accessible.
That is actually one of many higher if not the most effective the style has to supply and whereas it nonetheless has a little bit of a studying curve in comparison with different online game genres, Monster Hunter Rise and even Monster Hunter World supplies such an enormous scope of weapon sorts to be taught. From the flexibility of bow weapons and their ammo sorts to the satisfying feeling of getting your combo completely and studying your enemy’s assaults like a ebook with a protracted sword.
Conclusion
The Sunbreak enlargement for Monster Hunter Rise is one which brings the most effective of what the bottom recreation has to supply. I can’t say I’m an enormous fan of how they normally painting their story however when a theme works, it matches like a glove and Sunbreak achieves simply that. The interplay of the Japanese and Western themes supplies a pleasant distinction that it simply seems like a breath of recent air very like how Monster Hunter World diverts to the snowy mountains of Seliana in its personal enlargement.
However actually, the brand new options and added monsters are actually the celebs of the present and that is the place the enlargement actually shines to justify its price ticket. You’re getting new monsters, new variants, future updates so as to add extra of it and even up to date monsters with new assault patterns to essentially boost the expertise. There are tons of hours to be spent right here and one thing you’ll finally come again to each now and again.
