Monster Hunter is a legendary series, known for its addictive gameplay loop of chasing down monstrously tough enemies and slaying them to obtain resources and upgrade your gear. It has plenty of dedicated fans, but also a reputation for being difficult for beginners to get into.In 2016, Monster Hunter Stories was released on 3DS — this spin-off took on a cuter, more kid-friendly aesthetic, and also let you collect monsters and fight alongside them as a team. The spin-off series is now heading for its third outing with Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, and I was able to take an early first look at the game on Nintendo Switch 2.
