I could've been legend. Monster Hunter.. A name that most should know since the first game in 2004 on PS2. A series about hunting monsters for quests, with this one being a curious one. It goes back to the Nintendo 3DS in 2016/2017 with the PS4/Switch/PC getting a port on June 14th 2024. A different type of beast, Monster Hunter Stories is a turn based RPG game vs the real time battles of previous games.

The story involves our character (which the anime, based on this game calls us Lute by default), and our friends Cheval and Lilla, Our search for adventure leads us to find a egg that hatches Rathalos, An attack from the "Dark Blight" a plague that spreads upon this land soon happens, and our loss of Rathalos is where things take a turn. Our goal? Become a true monster hunter with our kinship stone.

It's been forever since I have done any Monster Hunter Games, and with this one, It does have something things I don't like and nails the RPG function alongside turn based battles which I enjoy. Firstly, It might be me but Monster Hunter Stories is seriously bloated by cutscenes, Yes Monster Hunter in past games do have a rich world and storyline, I feel that I was seeing a lot more cutscenes and talking then actual gameplay, In battle we have 3 attack types: Power, Technical, and Speed and each one is more useful vs the other. If I was to say, Its nice you can save at your house in between quests, and despite the irritations I mentioned, Its a decent change of pace for this series.
