MHHQ: Monster Hunter Stories is the perfect example of how an old creature collector formula can evolve into something full of depth and dynamism.
"Monster Hunter Stories is over ten years old and definitely shows its limitations - however, it's still a cracking wee JRPG you can happily get lost in."
- Stuart Cullen, TechStomper
Capcom shares new info on features and towering monsters coming to these titles.
Travis Bruno of Capsule Computers writes:
"When one thinks of the Monster Hunter franchise they usually think of choosing their target, gearing up with the proper equipment, and going out on the hunt to track it down and slay it in action-packed combat. That is because that is what the franchise consisted of for many years up until a spin-off called Monster Hunter Stories was released that saw “riders” with kinship stones raise “monsties” from eggs and ride them as allies in combat to suppress odd changes to the environment.
The problem was, not only was the original game a 3DS exclusive for a long period of time, its sequel, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, was only released on the PC and Switch as well. It wasn’t until last year when the original game was given an HD release alongside the sequel making the jump to additional platforms in the West. But even then, there was one platform left out when it came to these games. Now, with Capcom looking to continue the adventure of the riders with Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection next year they have finally brought the two games together in a collection on Xbox with the Monster Hunter Stories Collection. The question is, have these unique takes on the formula held up this long?"
