I see the blurriness in Monster Hunter Rise constantly on my PC, inherent to an art style originally designed for Switch. But it’s much easier to see those imperfections on more impressive hardware. It was only easy to notice the game’s faults or lack of detail in a screenshot, or when I was idling in town. It was extremely impressive on Nintendo’s less powerful hardware, implementing the wide open maps of Monster Hunter World rather than the segmented ones from the previous handheld titles.
Monster Hunter Rise looks great on the Switch, especially in handheld mode. Players spend dozens of hours hunting beasts in an attempt to unravel the mystery of why monsters are going into a rage and attacking their hometown - something the creatures haven’t done since the elders of the village were young. Where World was a sprawling adventure on a new continent, Rise offers a more compact game, taking place in a Japanese-inspired village called Kamura.
#QUEST HUNTER SWITCH REVIEW UPGRADE#
For Rise specifically, this Switch exclusivity window gave Capcom time to add in the game’s ending - which was unfinished at launch - and a handful of fan-favorite beasts.īut with Monster Hunter Rise getting a barely noticeable visual upgrade on PC, I found myself disappointed by what this re-release could’ve been: a more impressive version of an already excellent game. Like Monster Hunter World before it, Monster Hunter Rise had about 10 months of console exclusivity, a time when players like me could intimately get to know its systems, maps, and monsters. Monster Hunter Rise is one of the best games on Nintendo Switch, but it doesn’t command the same respect on PC.
