Monster Hunter Stories (2024) 

The remaster of Monster Hunter Stories will bring full English and Japanese voiceovers, new subtitle languages, a museum mode boasting 200 pieces of concept art and background music, and more. Meanwhile, the visuals will receive HD modeling and texture upgrades. Our 2017 3DS review highlights its fun gameplay as it deviates from the franchise’s standard hunting formula.

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin debuted for the Switch and PC in 2021. The plot takes place in the same setting and after the events of MH Stories. It’s meant to be a stand-alone title, so players may easily jump to this if they prefer. Our Switch review highly recommends it to RPG players who are also into monster-collecting.

Overview

Set in the expansive and dynamic world of Monster Hunter, players follow the footsteps of their grandfather Red, a legendary Rider, and ride Monsties with Ena, a Wyverian girl who has been entrusted with an egg with the potential to hatch into a Rathalos. This legendary monster holds immense power capable of wreaking havoc if its destructive abilities are unleashed. It’s up to players to test the bonds of friendship with Monsties and discover the hidden truths behind ancient legends.
