With all of these new tools to utilise, exploring areas to farm crafting materials is less of a chore and since exploration can now be performed quicker, you can spend more time focusing on the really fun parts of Monster Hunter – the actual hunts. It also makes climbing up cliffs and reaching higher areas quicker and easier. This is essentially a grappling hook, so you can zip up into the air, or side to side to reposition yourself, dodge attacks or get above a large monster to deal more damage. They aren’t going to make major monsters much easier though, you will still want a proper squad of hunts through online multiplayer to take on the more challenging hunts.Īside from being able to traverse maps quicker by riding your Palamute, you also get a new tool – the Wirebug. Combat, utilizing items, tracking monsters etc is all immediately familiar to previous games like Monster Hunter World, but this time around, you have a new companion coming with you, a Palamute, which you can ride to traverse areas faster and your Palamute, alongside your Palico, will help you in combat, making group fights against packs of smaller monsters a little easier to handle. If you have played Monster Hunter before, then getting to grips with the game is easy enough.

The Monster Hunter Rise PC demo is the same demo that launched for the Nintendo Switch version of the game, including some tutorial quests to get you up to speed with the controls, and three main hunts – Great Izuchi for beginners, Mizutsune for intermediate players and the Magnamalo for advanced players.

After spending some time with the newly released Monster Hunter Rise PC demo, I have come away impressed. The game was originally built to run on very low-power hardware compared to Monster Hunter World and I had my doubts as to how well the game would scale for higher-end PC hardware. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a little bit concerned about Monster Hunter Rise coming to PC after initially launching on Switch.
