First forty-five minutes was pretty fun! Felt like more Boneworks, and I was here for it. I did notice that things were a bit more clunky, notably the gunplay. This is a shame, since I thought the Boneworks gunplay was good! The Zombie mode gave me hours of practice on quick reloading and John Wick double tapping. This game seems to have negated all of that, with my hands not fully pulling the slide back, things just not picking up when I ~know~ it should work. Those frantic moments of pressure-mounting reloads feel the fault of the game rather than my clumsy fingers and miscounting bullets. Its just a bunch of slight disconnects that slowly grated against the immersion. But I was forgiving and still had fun.

Then I got to the hub. I did 3 minigames -- which I think is all I need to do to continue, something I discerned after reading a guide. Never managed to continue though as it felt like a chore. Worse yet, the minigame I thought I would have the most fun with, the melee combat gladiatorial arena, taught me the melee combat is abysmal. Fret not, though! They let you bring a 1911 into the ring so you can awkwardly defend yourself with some modicum of grace.

Now. I know I am spoiled with over 100 hours in blade and sorcery, and Im not expecting that level of immersion when it comes to melee combat. This is not a melee combat focused game. Bonelab has many specialties. But man, melee is clunky and unfun to use (with exception of the dagger, sometimes).

Anyway, it just feels disappointing. The more I've sat on the experience I had playing it yesterday, the more I realize I don't want to open the game again. The gunplay would be fun if your own body didn't feel to get in the way.

Overall, I'd say skip it for now. Boneworks is better, I think. I followed its uncohesive story for the sake of playing with the fun physics stuff. While I dont think this story is better or worse by any means, I dont feel that same thrilling immersion of messing around with melee or gunplay.

If you want the best guns, go play Into The Radius until this gets better. If you want the best melee combat, go play Blade and Sorcery until this gets better.

EDIT: I forgot to mention the soundtrack. Most of it felt pretty good in the intro, much like the old game, giving off this Macroblank lofi-esque vibe. But man, if you hate when television shows add in music with lyrics because it takes you out of the moment, you will HATE the soundtrack in the Hub. It's a sort of spacious and mellow synth-y song with a girl doing her best Halsey impression. Completely took me out of the game. I disabled the music and forgot to reenable it afterward. I think it is worth mentioning as it is but another strange choice added into this very strange game.

Just play it! If you've played Stalker, you'll love it. It's very similar game expertly transported into VR. If not, a quick rundown: it's an contract-based exploration-driven shooter with horror and scavenging elements. The gun mechanics are fantastic! You're made to reload practically every bullet, making inventory management a necessity. You have to prepare for deep ventures into the Zone and make every bullet count.

Absolutely love it. Better yet, the game just keeps getting better with the consistent updates.

When I played a few months ago, it had a loose story that drove me forward through the game. It's no god-given narrative piece that makes you ponder your existence when you're awake in bed at night, but the ambiance and gameplay more than make up for it.

Seriously, just buy it. For 30 bucks, there are few fantastic deals in the VR market like this. Be warned, though! The mechanics of gun management in this game may ruin your experience with other VR shooters (I'm looking at you, Fallout 4 VR)

I can't believe I'm giving this game a no! I'll start with saying that I've played a handful of monster hunter games in the past, making it a staple of my childhood. I'll also say that the combat in this game is definitely the best and most engaging that combat has been in a monster hunter game. Fantastic work there.

We all mostly know what monster hunter is, at this point. It's a new label with new weapons and armor and a handful of new monsters, with a HUGE catalog of monster's we've seen in previous titles. Sometimes new features, if we're lucky. And yes -- this game refines combat to be much more fluid. And yes! It feels really good to play.

If you're going to thumbs down this review, now is the time to do it, because I have to be the guy that brings up World. World's environments were breathtaking. I have hundreds of hours in World, mostly because I would just stop and take in the scenery. The environments made me excited to get out there and have an anime battle with a big scary monster. Rise has none of that appeal, so I simply run right past the stark cliffs and sparse plant-life so I can kill a monster and move on to killing the next. There's no stopping to smell the roses, because the roses were removed so the game can run on a switch.

World was a monstrous leap forward in terms of graphical design. This game is a sad and equally sized leap backwards in that category. I understand low fidelity environments when you're making a game work for the switch. But nearly a year of PC port development and the best capcom can come up with is to slap on a 60fps sticker?
"But you played releases other than World, right?" I can hear you asking me. "Aren't you familiar with these low-res environments and sparse plant/animal life?" Of course! You'd be totally right, I've probably thousands of hours sunken into the 3ds titles, and they looked worse than this. But the aesthetics of World were so incredible that I've become too spoiled to expect nothing short of a masterpiece from these dev teams. The game was actually so beautiful that it made me shallow. And maybe it is too lofty a hope to wish for World-level world design, but this is the sole reason it gets a thumbs down -- each time I play rise, I can't help but feel an overwhelming desire to close it and boot up World instead.

After all, aside from a few design changes, maybe a few monsters or features, they're the same game at their core.

I guess that's why it's a no. If you've already played World, then this game is a yes. It's more monster hunter, and that's fantastic, but it's frankly quite ugly. If World remains unplayed in your own monster hunter experience, then get that and Iceborne instead. It will actually blow your mind in terms of aesthetic, and the combat is not far behind from this game in terms of fluidity.

Is it the game that sucks?

Or is it me?

I'd purchase this again for the usage I've gotten out of it so far. It completes any workstation and truly enhances your setup. Best of all, it's customizable to your liking.

I was too young to play this game at release, but I can vividly remember watching my brother play it on our Xbox 360 the night of its release. Thankfully, because of that copy my brother owned, I dumped probably thousands of hours into it in my youth. I haven't had a chance to revisit it for an extended stay just yet, but I can feel it coming in my bones. I have played it enough to know, however, that the game is undoubtedly worth playing if you're a fan of High Fantasy RPGs. I like this game more than Skyrim, and I think that Skyrim has gotten some unfair heat recently. I don't know why, I played a full playthrough last month and that game is terrific. That means that this game is better than terrific. And sure, it's showing its age. Then again, so is Morrowind, which most agree is even better than Oblivion. I feel the age just adds to its charm.

If nothing else, just pick it up when its on sale and forget about it until your internet goes out and you have nothing else to do but to sink your time into an expansive RPG. You won't regret it.

Runs wonderfully on my machine. If you enjoy monster hunter, it's probably the best in the series. It makes me not want to go back to previous installments. If you've never played one before, know that the game is a bit grindy (but that is the point). The objective is basically farm a monster for resources, make gear from those resources to fight better monsters. Your character's damage and skills are not determined by EXP but by the gear you wear, so it's all about gettin that grind on. If you're not a monster hunter fan to begin with, you'll be happy to know that the story is more intriguing than the others (as I've seen it so far) and that gear is not as resource demanding as it has been, lowering the grind requirements.
The multiplayer is leagues better than it could have ever been on any DS system and better than 3U on the Wii U. I run the game on medium (970, 16gb, i7 4790) at a constant 60fps and it looks terrific. I will update this review as I play more but man, as a previous monster hunter fan, I cannot recommend this game enough. It takes everything I loved and hated about the old games and improves upon them greatly.
