Sure, Monster Hunter is all about grinding for gear and perfecting the hunt - but new challenges are what I want from expansions. So each time one of these old beasts came up as a quest option, I couldn’t help but roll my eyes and pick the monster I was least sick of. I worked to get here, but Sunbreak still bides its time before it rewards me with cool new stuff. At this point, I’m tired of the original game’s roster. That’s not to mention the many times I farmed them in the year leading up to Sunbreak, and the times I hunted them when Rise came to PC. Sunbreak is a late-game expansion, so it’s frustrating as hell that I’m still fighting monsters I already fought twice during the main game. While the Urgent story quests usually introduce a beast that’s new to Sunbreak, the quests in between ask me to hunt returning monsters like Kulu-Ya-Ku, Pukei-Pukei, and Aknosom. In order to increase my Master Rank - unlocking Urgent Quests that progress the story - I need to prove my worth to the in-game characters by choosing from a variety of non-urgent hunts. But instead of Low Rank and High Rank, Sunbreak offers the far more difficult Master Rank.
Much like Monster Hunter Rise before it, Sunbreak’s quests are broken up into ranks. And Sunbreak is eventually another great expansion for another great Monster Hunter game, but it’s a little too interested in the ground it’s already tread.
Ordinarily, that would be a compliment coming from someone who called Monster Hunter Rise one of the best games on Switch. Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is more of the same.
