As a huge fan of the main Monster Hunter games, the idea of befriending and fighting alongside the very monsters I had spent countless hours hunting was incredibly exciting. On top of that, the promise of a more cinematic and story-focused experience—something the mainline games have always been somewhat lacking in—made me go into this game with very high expectations. Unfortunately, while the monster collecting mechanics and overall gameplay are genuinely enjoyable, I ultimately came away disappointed by the story. After roughly 50 hours, I finished the main campaign and part of the High Rank content before deciding that this was a good place to stop. The story starts with a surprisingly serious premise and initially shows a lot of promise. However, it gradually becomes weighed down by low-quality anime-style humor, simplistic dialogue, and rather childish characters. Because of this, I don't think the narrative offers a particularly satisfying experience for teenage or adult players looking for a more mature story. The turn-based combat is fun and well-designed, but it does have one frustrating flaw. During battles, the game doesn't display information you've already learned about monsters. Since many monsters can switch between different attack types, you're expected to memorize their patterns yourself. While this certainly rewards experience, it can also make longer fights feel more tiring than they need to be. Another unfortunate downside is the online component. Due to the relatively small player base nowadays, online activity is practically nonexistent, which means some of the features and conveniences designed around multiplayer are no longer realistically accessible. Despite spending most of this review criticizing the game, if you asked me whether I actually enjoyed it, my answer would still be yes. There were definitely moments that made me cringe, but overall I walked away satisfied with the experience. My advice to anyone starting the game is simple: keep your expectations at a reasonable level and enjoy it for what it is. If you do that, I think you'll get the most out of what Monster Hunter Stories has to offer.

This was super Fing boring. I'm a story guy, and as basic as the MH:S1 story was, it was alot more entertaining and engaging then this one's. 15 hours, it took half this game to find the Fing plot, why oh why does this game need that much filler of useless information. They hooked me with light pits and the missing rathalos, and all i got for 15 HOURS was back stories of the characters who had have nothing to do with anything, doing random choirs for them. The characters from the first game are back... but your character, who I assumed died cause they're referred as the Legendary Hero and you don't get that while living. Yea the whole glowing pits up until the ending is treated as an inconvenience rather than a world ending event like the Black Blight was. The combat only changed a bit, adding more weapons and weapon type advantages. My problem with exp is still there, after a bit the effort put in fighting isn't worth the amount of exp you get, why should I waste 6-7 minutes in one fight to get less and 100 exp. Also why is it always a rathalos, you have over monsters. Honest to god, if I wasn't recording this for Youtube, I would have quit back when I was kidnapped in Lulucion.

Really fun game with a very smart battle system. I only wish the companions didn't attack randomly. You already have a lot to guess with your monster.

剧情代入感太差： 1.从开头到结束，全在回忆烈度的丰功伟绩，结果你告诉我老头以这么滑稽的方式寄掉了，剧情表现上完全看不出来这烈度强在哪，全程没有主角半毛钱关系，逢人就是烈度牛福，我牛你** 2.既然已经引入了一代的主角团，你倒是给我引好了啊，强行给莉莉亚、舒华路、娅尤利娅还有纳比露降智，一代主角故事严重淡化，但凡稍微引入以下一代的冒险呢，这样的叙事总感觉被腰斩了一样[strike] 纳比露都快变成傻猫了，跟一代主角冒险那么久还不及一个滑稽老头感情深 [/strike]

石头剪刀布的玩法，种子生成的重复地图，不如没有的烈度传剧情的平庸之作

剧情和一坨屎一样

peak

Cihuy!

Its like a better pokemon. the story missions themselves are a bit repetitive but the combat is what I really enjoy. mix fire emblem's rock paper scissors with some light pokemon (water doing increased damage to fire and so on) with some additonal effects and you have yourself this game right here. Wholeheartedly recommend it for jrpg fans

我是先玩了1的手机版，后面再补票一起买的1.2.3，目前又重新把1过了一遍。2对比1来说，画面和战斗系统确实提升了不少，但是剧情简直是一坨啊，主角是废物，编剧纯恶心人
