A really good monster hunter game to introduce new players to the series and a breath of fresh air for returning players. Rise might have simplified some of it's systems but like previous games, it rewards players who take the time to learn it's intricacies and explore the game.

What I like about Rise:
Wirebugs have a learning curve but are satisfying to use and increases your overall mobility, making fights alot more engaging and fast paced.
Palimute mounting shortens the downtown at the start and inbetween fights during a hunt while Palicos have classes that bring a lot to the table in terms of healing, damage, gathering or utility.
Switch skills for all weapons that either add new moves or add twist to their existing moveset to a new play style.
Simplified armour system, what armour piece you wear heavily decides on your armour skills instead of the decoration system in World.

What I dislike about Rise:
Multiplayer hunts can be a visual mess; 4 hunters and 4 palico/mutes attacking a single monster at a time can be really hard to decipher what's going on.
