Our analysis

A really strong single-player creature-collecting RPG: polished turn-based combat, a vibrant art style, smooth performance and one of the most fleshed-out stories in a Monster Hunter game. Streamlined systems make it approachable for newcomers but cost depth and longevity for long-time fans; still definitely worth picking up.

    Our analysis

    A successful JRPG spin-off with engaging turn-based combat and Pokémon-like monster collection mechanics that delivers a worthwhile adventure. While not quite reaching the grandeur of Persona 5 or Xenoblade Chronicles 3, it offers a really good time within the Monster Hunter universe.
