great follow-up to World

combat mechanics and movement are better than ever thanks to the Wirebugs and weapon changes, hunts are more faster and continues to feature exciting battles. Monster variety is better than World when it was first released in 2018 with lots of different Monsters to fight through instead of Wyverns on every corner in that game.

the Hub area is better designed with the ability to teleport straight onto NPCs and locations, the presentation although notably featuring less graphical quality than World still manages to deliver good visuals and animations across the board and the PC port is well done too.

the end-game might be the worst offender on Rise, featuring less missions to take on and the forced and repetitive Rampage Mode taking the highlight here if you want better gear or just level-up faster, the Apex Monsters are the biggest dissapointment regarding the end-game since they don't offer nothing new apart from some challenging monster fights.
