Review: Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection (Switch 2) – Another Excellent Monstie Collecting Spin-Off

It’s a Monstie world.

It’s fair to say that, at the time of writing, Capcom is on an absolute roll with Nintendo Switch 2. Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection arrives against that backdrop, but also as a continuation of a franchise spin-off that began as a 3DS exclusive. Nintendo systems have benefited from plenty of Monster Hunter games since the days of Nintendo Wii; this latest title is a welcome addition and, for that matter, yet another monstrous IP on Nintendo’s latest platform.

As mentioned in our preview, it’s worth noting that if you’re new to Monster Hunter Stories but like the concept enough to dive into this new entry, you can do so with confidence. There are some nice nods and lore references for long term fans, but everything is presented in a way to accommodate all players; both previous games are also available on Switch, however, if you want to go all in. That means once again that Capcom delivers its own blend of monster – or Monstie – collecting with all the trappings of large RPGs – massive spaces to explore, more optional content than you can shake a stick at, too many menus and a whole lot of likeable characters.
