I literally only just got Rise because it was super cheap, not knowing that Wilds was releasing like a day later. I even looked up "what is the newest MH" before I paid for Rise because I wanted to know where in the series it was lol

I haven't played a MH since PS2 so I don't exactly mind missing out on the actual newest title to play the previous title. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Dude Rise fucking rocks! You’ll get people who don’t like it but it’s the game in the series that finally clicked for me. You have a bunch of cool movement options, it introduced a mount companion, and all the weapons got quality of life upgrades that to me just made it so damn fun.

Even if it is the “old” one now I’d totally recommend it!!

Oh yeah. The first thing I noticed was the QOL stuff. Last one I played, you actually had to hunt down the big monsters and while fun the first time through a map, it was kinda tedious when you're just trying to farm mats and literally already know where it's gonna be, but still have to go through the motions to trigger an actual fight. Being able to just see them on the map and go straight to them is nice.

Haha yep the paintball system was super annoying!

Btw I was just skimming through my steam library and came here to give you one more suggestion: Windblown. It’s by the devs behind Dead Cells but this game has a totally different art style and it’s top down instead of side scrolling. The combat is FANTASTIC with a heavy reliance on one of the most satisfying dodges ever. Big recommendation!
