Hub quests are more difficult and tuned for multiplayer, with monsters having significantly more health as a baseline and gaining even more based on the numbers of players in a hunt. ![]() But as your skills and gear improve, you'll need to work through the Gathering Hub missions to further the story and unlock new stuff. When you start out, you'll likely want to work through the Village quests, tailored as they are for solo play to help you learn the ropes. grab supplies, hunt/trap big monster, then turn their parts into new gear to power up as you slay your way up the food chain - and are further simplified from World, doing away with tracking altogether and just showing you large monster locations on the open mini-map, plus you now have your Palamute companion and Wirebug for fantastic mobility, and the former will even help out in combat.

New friends join the hunt, fiddly weapons have been simplified (perhaps a little too much in a few cases), and getting top-end gear has arguably never been simpler thanks to faster, easier hunts with more generous rewards. Monster Hunter was once all but impenetrable for newcomers, but its many systems have made bold strides towards breaking down that barrier to access, and while there's still an awful lot to digest if you're new to the games, Rise is still easily the most approachable game in the series so far. ![]() Monster Hunter Rise Monster Hunter Capcom Entertainment Xbox Game Pass Online Multiplayer Game review Review Action-RPG Luke Albigés Monster Hunter Rise launches into Xbox Game Pass later this week, and it should come as little surprise that Capcom's popular Switch game is still really good, but it's even better on Xbox.It still blows my mind that an esoteric PS2 game I loved back in the day has evolved into the behemoth that is modern Monster Hunter, today one of Capcom's biggest brands - Monster Hunter: World is comfortably the publisher's best selling game ever at almost 20 million copies, with Rise looking certain to push past Resident Evil 7 to slot in just below World in second after these new ports of the former Switch console exclusive arrive on January 20th. ![]()
