A fter scoring the biggest global hit of its 40-year history with Monster Hunter: World, Capcom finally brings its beast-slaying series to the Switch – and Rise has every chance of supplanting its predecessor. Befitting a portable format, Rise’s protagonist is more mobile, equipped with an insectoid grapple to scale cliffs and hurdle incoming attacks. A wolf-like mount allows for faster tracking while providing extra combat support, with the monsters ranging from a ferocious fanged wyvern to a gluttonous giant toad.
