As a huge fan of the main Monster Hunter games, the idea of befriending and fighting alongside the very monsters I had spent countless hours hunting was incredibly exciting. On top of that, the promise of a more cinematic and story-focused experience—something the mainline games have always been somewhat lacking in—made me go into this game with very high expectations. Unfortunately, while the monster collecting mechanics and overall gameplay are genuinely enjoyable, I ultimately came away disappointed by the story. After roughly 50 hours, I finished the main campaign and part of the High Rank content before deciding that this was a good place to stop. The story starts with a surprisingly serious premise and initially shows a lot of promise. However, it gradually becomes weighed down by low-quality anime-style humor, simplistic dialogue, and rather childish characters. Because of this, I don't think the narrative offers a particularly satisfying experience for teenage or adult players looking for a more mature story. The turn-based combat is fun and well-designed, but it does have one frustrating flaw. During battles, the game doesn't display information you've already learned about monsters. Since many monsters can switch between different attack types, you're expected to memorize their patterns yourself. While this certainly rewards experience, it can also make longer fights feel more tiring than they need to be. Another unfortunate downside is the online component. Due to the relatively small player base nowadays, online activity is practically nonexistent, which means some of the features and conveniences designed around multiplayer are no longer realistically accessible. Despite spending most of this review criticizing the game, if you asked me whether I actually enjoyed it, my answer would still be yes. There were definitely moments that made me cringe, but overall I walked away satisfied with the experience. My advice to anyone starting the game is simple: keep your expectations at a reasonable level and enjoy it for what it is. If you do that, I think you'll get the most out of what Monster Hunter Stories has to offer.

I personally prefer this over MHS1. Story wise both MHS1 and this are good and enjoyable, and the main thing I like about it is the monsties are finally big. They are not their proper size but it's still a W (MHS3 fixed that). And there are no loading screens when exploring the dens and some dens are pretty big. I also like that they changed the fast traveling system, and now you no longer need a paw ticket to fast travel. In MHS1 if you do a quest you'll get a paw permit which will give you the ability to fast travel unlimited without paw tickets. So it's not really a new thing, but they made it easier by giving you the ability from the start. Something else I really liked is there are no longer multiple eggs for the same monstie. So now when you get one you can easily identify which egg it is, and that's especially helpful for a person like me who has a goldfish memory. And they also changed the combat in this game. It's the usual power, speed, tech, but now you can predict the monster moves easily because it's not RNG like in MHS1. I didn't mind the combat of MHS1, ya it's kinda unpredictable sometimes, but if you are facing a monstie like Diablos you can assume he's gonna use a lot of power attacks. But after playing MHS2's combat I found this way more enjoyable than MHS1. And another thing is now you can take three weapons with you: slash, blunt, and penetrating weapons. And you have to target monsties body parts with the appropriate weapons, and that's really cool. Overall I really enjoyed the game, but I do have one complaint. In MHS1 you could change the lead monstie by pressing E on the keyboard. But now you have to press escape and then select lead monstie to change. I don't understand why they changed that. But ya other than that the game was really fun and I can't wait to start MHS3. Happy Hunting or Riding <3

I played this game with my young daughter and I made a Monster Hunter fan out of her with it. It's very fun trying to get eggs and the story is pretty good and I think I even teared up in a few spots.

Its like Pokemon, but with Monster Hunter Monsters. Enjoyable and addiciting if you enjoy catching them all. Around 100 total to capture. The story is very childish and not serious at all. Overall an 8/10

Navirou is the worst and most annoying character in all of fiction. The rest of the characters are bland. Combat's pretty good, just wish you could tell when an opponent is going to attack more than once. Don't play it for the story, only play it because you love monster hunter.
