The series has always been a very heavy multiplayer game, but with each new addition in the latest entries, a number of measures have been added to help enhance the single player experience. Most of the new Monsters you'll be hunting in Sunbreak will appear on these maps, but don't forget to take a moment to appreciate how breathtakingly beautiful these maps really are. From a breath-taking waterfall that produces a rainbow, to some mysterious ruins hidden deep underground, the Jungle has plenty to see, and it's worth taking the time to simply explore the map to see what it has to offer. The Jungle is a redesign of an already beloved map, and the translation into the new world games only improves upon it. Even though these three may not mesh well on paper, the game manages to blend the three environments together perfectly, that it feels completely natural. The Citadel has three different "sections" a ruined castle, an icy tundra, and a muddy swamp. To go with these new Monster designs, two new maps are added to the game, a brand new one called the Citadel, and a reimagined map from the second generation titles, the Jungle. Instead of introducing more Monsters based on Japanese Yokai, Monsters that western folk are more familiar with, such as Frankenstein, Dracula, and Werewolves become the main focus - and they're brilliant! Whilst Monster Hunter Rise focused on a more traditional Japanese vibe, Sunbreak flips that on it's head and presents the game with a more western look. The additions in the Sunbreak DLC only add to this addiction and further streamline the gameplay to make it more enjoyable. It has an addictive gameplay loop, and once it clicks with you, you'll damn well struggle to put the game down. Monster Hunter is a game where you hunt Monsters. NB: This review was written before the release of the first title update. Fortunately, the initial release of Monster Hunter Rise helped bridge the gap between Japan and the west, so it's finally time to gush about the series (albeit late), to try expand the series into new horizons. Monster Hunter didn't receive a tonne of popularity in the west until World released on the PS4 back in 2018. Unfortunately, Monster Hunter has always been seen as a niche series, and isn't as popular in the Animal Crossing fandom such as more mainlines franchises, including Pokemon and Zelda. If you've followed us for a while, you should be aware that Monster Hunter is a series that gets sporadic coverage on our site.
