While Rise performs phenomenally for a Switch game, certain sacrifices had to be made to make that possible and that means less complex environmental details.

Granted, the game is not quite as detailed as Monster Hunter World and Iceborne but that has more to do with Rise itself as the game was originally developed for the Nintendo Switch.

The graphics look nice and crisp, especially the character and monster models, and the backgrounds and textures also look good. I played the game on my ginormous 82-inch TV, which is usually great at magnifying visual flaws, and the PS5 version of Monster Hunter Rise looks like a champ. The good news is that Monster Hunter Rise on the PS5 looks great and also plays great to boot. The more you know, as they say… So how does Monster Hunter Rise look on the PS5? Heck, go ahead and check out my Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak review if you haven’t already.

For folks who want to see or hear detailed comparisons between different versions like the PS5, Switch and PC, I’m actually not allowed to do so prior to release so that will have to wait for now.Īlso, my thoughts about the base Rise game itself are still pretty much the same as when I reviewed the original version in 2021 so feel free to check my Monster Hunter Rise Switch review for a more thorough take on things like mechanics, monsters and other features. In my case, I was provided a review copy for Playstation consoles and opted to download the PS5 version so that’s what this article will be focusing on. The series, after all, debuted on the PlayStation 2 way back in 2004 and while I enjoyed all its forays on the various Nintendo systems, there’s something about playing Monster Hunter on a Playstation console that just feels right.īy the way, Monster Hunter Rise will also be launching at the same time on PS4 as well as Xbox One and Series S and Series X. So come January 20, “you get Monster Hunter Rise, and you get Monster Hunter Rise, and you get Monster Hunter Rise - everybody gets Monster Hunter Rise!” Monster Hunter Rise on the Playstation 5 is finally upon us after its initial stint on the Switch and PC and that’s a good thing.
