Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin Review - The Final Verdict

loading…

Will you like Monster Hunter Stories 2? It's a really well-made JRPG with high production values that brings a lot of unique spins to the table, so chances are, you will.

If you like Monster Hunter, or RPGs, or both, you'll probably find a lot to like here. Even folks who are unfamiliar with the original Monster Hunter Stories game, or just Monster Hunter in general, will probably end up finding themselves enamored by the mechanically dense and well-made RPG on offer.

It's not perfect, and a presumed third game in the series still has a fair bit to address - but nothing here is game-breaking, and Wings of Ruin is a mechanically compelling RPG with high production values, and it will probably manage to find a lot of takers among fans of RPGs, Monster Hunter - and fans of Pokemon disappointed by the direction the newer games in that series have taken.
