  • Engaging, complex battle system, Tons of Monsties to recruit, Charming story and characters, Great soundtrack
  • Gets very tedious around the halfway point, Silent protagonist limits the story, Music is sparse outside of battle, Horrendous frame rates
  • Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is a great and charming RPG with a similar, addicting gameplay loop as the main series. While the game drags a little in the middle, it's worth seeing through to the end and beyond

  • Abstract:  Friends, not food. A beautifully realised old school JRPG whose only downfall is its story of all things. Hunting isn't for everyone. With its myriad creatures the world of Monster Hunter is made for a Pokémon-type game, and so the Stories spin-offs feel...
