Twin Rathalos, born in a twist of fate. Two centuries after a conflict that divided neighboring kingdoms, the drums of war are reignited as twin Rathalos—long thought extinct—hatch from a single egg: an omen of destruction. Is there hope beyond the northern border?
Even though the fiery breath of Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection didn’t quite blow me away, the flames were a treat to watch.
A perfectly integrated gameplay loop in a bright, fun monster collecting experience.
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is an excellent turn-based RPG with a compelling hunt-capture-craft gameplay loop that will keep you engaged for dozens of hours.
Monster Hunter Stories 3 is the pinnacle of the series in so many ways - especially from a storytelling perspective. At its core, it's a ridiculously addictive monster taming RPG, boasting in-depth progression systems and satisfying combat mechanics - but it does take quite a long time for everything to truly click.
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is another strong entry in this series, and deserving of a place at the top table alongside a number of other excellent RPGs on Switch 2.A well-told story, an intriguing world and some excellent mechanics ultimately overshadow the usual (for this series) balancing issues and performance wobbles. If you want to collect 'em all within a charming Monster Hunter setting, this game will keep you busy for a long time.
