If you wind up enjoying Rise, you should definitely check out Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, which is essentially the greatest hits of the series' pre-Monster Hunter World installments. Rise supports online and local multiplayer, but each player needs their own console. Monster Hunter Rise is absolutely loaded with story and endgame content, and hunts are even more satisfying when playing alongside three friends. That said, it's well worth the learning curve. When you combine that structure with the intricate combat and item systems, you have yourself an in-depth action-RPG that takes some getting used to. Most quests revolve around hunting and killing/capturing a large monster-each of which has dynamic movesets and a ton of health, which often makes hunts a pretty lengthy endeavor. If you've never played a Monster Hunter game before, you should know that the series is somewhat unique. A brand-new entry in the series, Monster Hunter Rise includes new maps and monsters as well as a bunch of old favorites. Monster Hunter Rise is one of the best Switch games to release this year, and it also happens to be one of the greatest action-RPGs to play with friends on the hybrid console.
