    I thought Dauntless was mildly entertaining, but too shallow to have any kind of lasting power. Maybe I should try Monster Hunter again. I felt like the intro/tutorial just. kept. going. and eventually just gave up.

    Is Rise a terrible place to start? It’s on gamepass, World isn’t anymore.

      Rise might be the best place to start from a tutorial standpoint. I’ve replayed MHW many times and I feel like even knowing what I’m doing it takes hours before I’m actually in the game. Rise came out during COVID and was half-released when it did which meant they didn’t pour as much time into over-extending the intro. The downside is Rise is exceptionally mechanically stacked for a MH game, so it may take a little time to get started from that standpoint. But also, I would discover new weapon mechanics 70+ fights into using a weapon also, so don’t worry about trying to learn it all up front.

      Rise is fine to start with, and yes, I agree with the tutorial stuff. There are a lot of game mechanics, though, so I get the tutorial stuff.
