Monster Hunter Stories Reviews
If Capcom decided to continue this spin-off series, it will be welcome news.
A simplified combat system, empty locations and a naive plot for the youngest ones can disappoint the fans of the series. However, less demanding players and beginners in the universe will be able to enjoy great cutscenes, a kind story, an exciting collection of monsters and non-stressing battles with beautiful special attacks.

Capcom's monster-collecting Monster Hunter spinoff manages to set itself apart from the crowd.
Monster Hunter Stories may not please hardcore fans of the franchise but definitely everyone who was always interested in the series but constantly shied away because of its complexity.

Monster Hunter Stories definitely isn’t as engaging or as action-oriented as its predecessors, but that doesn’t really seem to be its goal. There are definitely some obvious ideas not implemented into the game, for whatever reason, that might have made it more fun for players familiar with the series. At its core, however, MHS is a stepping stone for younger players into a more extensive series. The fact that it managed to hold onto the personality of the world Monster Hunter takes place in while making it more accessible is a major success for the game, which isn’t something every developer can say of their work. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go back to having the Monster Hunter World trailer on an endless loop.
Monster Hunter Stories is turn-based RPG spinoff of the main series, taking place in its own world with its own expanded lore.
Monster Hunter Stories is an adventure like no other, and a standout experience on Nintendo 3DS that is worthy of your time. Heartwarming and memorable, it’s all that you could ever want it to be. Ride On!
Monster Hunter Stories is a Monster Hunter game distilled down to a more simple level, but still retains what makes the games fun.
