From the engaging storyline to the gorgeous aesthetics, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is a wonderful experience from beginning to end.

Monster Hunter is a series obsessed with its starring creatures. Every moment is spent in service to immense dragons, fire-breathing dinosaurs, and giant spiders, toads and squirrels that could bring down your house. However, the mainline series brings its own sense of melancholy with it, as you repeatedly kill and carve up these incredible creatures, using the parts to craft new and stronger weapons and armour. Continuing the spin-off RPG series, Monster Hunter Stories 3 feels like a direct reaction to that melancholy.

Powered by the RE Engine, Twisted Reflection is a breathtaking anime odyssey that matures the spin-off series with a fully voiced, politically charged narrative.

Our big take from playing Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is that this spin-off series has come an incredibly long way.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is a visually striking expansion of Capcom’s beloved series, artfully adapting its core combat principles while maintaining the gnarly monster designs. A pool of side quests muddies the pacing somewhat, made worse by inconsistent platforming across the open world. Still, warm writing and lively vocal performances more than make up for what it lacks. If you’re looking for a rich world to sink hours into, look no further.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is the latest entry in Capcom's Pokémon-like series. Find within if this spin-off can much up to the recent success of the main series.

Capcom's latest in the Monster Hunter spinoff series is easily the best yet.

Monster Hunter Stories 3 delivers deep build crafting and battle systems, but they're wasted on a war story that's barely there.
