Jun 18, 2024Overall I would highly recommend checking out both games in this collection, whether you’re picking it up as a bundle or as separate releases. Both games are great, and even if Monster Hunter Stories is a little dated compared to the sequel, it’s still a lot of fun. Even if you’ve never played a traditional Monster Hunter title before, Monster Hunter Stories Collection offers up such a different take on the series that you’ll have no trouble starting here. It is very much its own thing, and something that I hope we continue to see more of in the years to come.

Jun 13, 2024The Monster Hunter Stories Collection bundles up two great JRPGs that offer a new way to enter the world of Monster Hunter, now finally playable on PlayStation consoles. Both have thrilling combat systems, and will have you avidly seeking out new monsters to add to your collection. With Monster Hunter Stories 2 not only looking better but also being more fleshed out gameplay-wise and having additional features such as multiplayer, however, some players might just want to pick that up instead.

Jun 14, 2024A collection of two games that were previously exclusive to Nintendo are now coming to modern consoles with visual improvements. We will have a good number of hours with the DNA of Monster Hunter mixed with the RPG genre. However, it feels like a brief collection that does not offer anything beyond the visual.

Jun 25, 2024At the end of the day, we have two beautiful Monster Hunter games here that more people can finally enjoy playing. Part one does show its age here and there, and you shouldn't expect a fundamental remake, but the port to the newer systems is still largely successful.

Jun 13, 2024The Monster Hunter Stories HD package will be received very differently depending on which platform you play on: on Sony consoles and PC, these Monster Hunter twist to the Pokémon formula has its right to be, and will mostly appeal to younger audiences. On the other side, Switch players won't get much value out of it.
