Price-conscious gamers determined to only pick up one of the newly discounted RPGs will have to make a purchase decision based on their personal preferences; both games have been widely praised by fans and critics alike, so there’s no universal answer to the question ofwhich is better:Monster Hunter: WorldorRise. Players who want a traditionalMonster Hunterexperience that’s challenging but fair may likeMH: Worldbetter, especially if they favor semi-realistic graphics over highly stylized visuals. Meanwhile,MH: Riseis a different kind of experience that revolves around more fast-paced and forgiving combat, not least because of a much higher level of character mobility that it offers.
