Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection - Nintendo Switch 2

Gorgeous game however the charm kind of just isn’t there for me as much as I’d have hoped. Kingdom tropes aren't too high on my liking. The character movement can feel pretty clunky at times too in my opinion. I really love and prefer MHS2.

The quality of the story, the combat, and even how much you can explore is such a step up for the series. It has been an incredible ride and I’m looking forward to all the title updates ahead of us that will only improve the game.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is an outstanding RPG that perfectly blends the beloved Monsties-riding mechanic with a deep turn-based combat system. The story is engaging and full of heart, with a cast of memorable characters that fans of the series will love. The bond system between rider and Monstie feels more refined than ever, and the variety of monsters to collect and battle keeps the gameplay loop extremely addictive. Visually, the game shines on Nintendo Switch 2 with vibrant colors and smooth performance. The world is beautifully crafted and exploration feels rewarding at every turn. The music is fantastic throughout the entire adventure. Whether you are a longtime Monster Hunter fan or a newcomer to the series, Stories 3 is incredibly accessible and fun. Pros: Deep combat system, great story, massive monster roster, stunning visuals on Switch 2, addictive gameplay. Cons: Veteran players may find early hours slow. Highly recommended for RPG lovers and Monster Hunter fans alike.

This is way better as a sequel than Stories 2. While 2 was just more of the same as the first game, Twisted Reflections feels like a genuine upgrade to the gameplay, mechanics and writing. My only complaint though is that there's no post-story content. It's by far one of my least favorite tropes in video game writing.

Fun capture monster and explore the world. More things add to the game then the first and second game.
