monster hunter rise
The second 5th Generation entry in the Monster Hunter franchise, released first for Nintendo Switch in 2021.
The game features various acrobatic actions and player moves tied to Wirebug, massively increasing the maneuverability of player and allowing temporarily taking control of large monsters.
Aestheticallly, it returns to overall traditional Japanese aesthetics since Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, with this time many of new monsters also being based on folkloric yokais and deities.
The game is also notable as the first game to refer major NPCs by name instead of titles, which is the first to do so in-game.

该游戏具有与 Wirebug 相关的各种杂技动作和玩家动作，极大地提高了玩家的可操作性并允许暂时控制大型怪物。
从审美上来说，它回归了《怪物猎人携带版3》以来的整体日本传统美学，这一次许多新怪物也以民间传说中的妖怪和神灵为基础。
该游戏还因第一款以名字而不是标题来提及主要 NPC 的游戏而闻名，这也是游戏中第一款这样做的游戏。
