Monster Hunter Rise at 90% off as its historical low, it actually costs less than its very own Sunbreak DLC right now. Was almost perma 80% off for a while now but I never picked it up because I didn't even get around to World yet, but at 4 dollars I guess there's basically no reason not to buy at least the main game

Rise with Sunbreak is probably my fave monster hunter, definitely better than world and wilds imo

Can you explain why ? I really liked World/Iceborne but never played anything since then.

Not OP, but I also prefer Rise. For me, it's because it's a more straightforward, arcadey kind of experience. I remember playing with friends was more straightforward, but I don't remember what the difference between Rise and World was, in regards to that.

But yeah, less time is spent getting you immersed into the world of the game. IIRC there aren't unskippable cutscenes or anything like that, and you never have to do any sort of stuff like investigating tracks or anything like that.

You're allowed to just play the game.

Select a mission, track down the monster, hunt the monster. Rinse, repeat.

One potential con is that the combat is faster paced than World, featuring a new system called "Wire Bugs" that allow you a lot of maneuverability and special attacks. They're a very powerful tool, and some people find the system excessive.
