Sometimes a spin off is so different from the main games that it leaves me stunned. Today we are diving deep on Monster Hunter as a series and why Wings of Ruin is an odd take on a great franchise.

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin[a] is an upcoming role-playing video game developed and published by Capcom for the Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows. It is a spinoff title in the Monster Hunter series and a sequel to Monster Hunter Stories (2016). The game is scheduled to release worldwide on July 9, 2021. The story begins with the mass disappearance of Rathalos around the world. As the descendant of the legendary Rider named Red, the player character has a fateful encounter with a white-haired wyverian girl, Ena, who has been entrusted with a Rathalos egg. A flightless Rathalos with small black wings bursts out of the egg, which is said to bring ruin to the world in time. A new adventure awaits you in this second installment of the turn-based RPG series set in the world of Monster Hunter! Become a Rider and form bonds with friendly monsters known as Monsties to fight alongside them as you take part in an epic story. In this video DreamcastGuy does a brutally honest review talking about why this game is a good RPG but a strange Monster Hunter spin off in general while showing gameplay and combat including a few boss fights in a review style format. You play as the grandson of Red, a legendary Rider. The story begins with a fateful encounter with Ena, a Wyverian girl who has been entrusted with an egg with the potential to hatch into a legendary Rathalos which could wreak havoc if awakened to its destructive power.
Embark on a journey which will test the bonds of friendship in a changing world, and discover the truth behind the legends of old.

This looks and sounds like a cool breath of fresh air, a different take on the series. This could be good or bad depending on who is playing it but even you said you liked it and had fun but it just wasn't what you expected. This kinda tells me it's a gem in a way? I like to be surprised and thrown off and as long as it's works and is fun and the story is good, I'm in. I remember one such franchise being this way...final fantasy on nes. I never played an rpg before(only Mario, castlevanis,contra etc. Action 2d side scrollers. Then I tried final fantasy and feel in love with a game that could have a huge world and epic story and flesh it out, taking many hours to complete. I loved building my characters and learning about the world by talking to people and visiting new towns and exploring the country side. Blew my mind when I got the canoe and could travel in so many different ways. Point is new and different isn't always bad...even if it's not what we are used to 😎👍

I meant specifically the minimalistic art style ends up hurting the emotional beats at times. Dont want to get into spoilers so trying to keep it vague but their faces have very little expression and I think that mostly comes to the drawn art style. This isnt an insult, just a warning that they made a choice for the art that is displayed strangely here.

You’re saying that this doesn’t play like normal MH games does. You know why it doesn’t play like normal MH games does? it’s because this game is a spin off to the series, duh~ why are you even comparing this to the main MH games. They are both different genres of game. I’m still buying this game despite the frame rate issues on the Switch cause the turn based RPG and egg hunting is too damn addicting!

The review documents his own thoughts and is ultimately very positive. If someone who is only lightly into Monster Hunter came across Stories, their expectation may be that it would be an action adventure, narrative focused, spin-off. They might wonder why it has more Pokemon-like elements rather than benefitting from the fantastic mechanics of the mainline games. He seems to play on that premise a bit, it's not a big deal. Are you not validated enough in your appreciation of the stories games? They're great, they're well made, fully modern gaming acomplishments, you don't have to bully a content creator to feel valid about it.

Do not listen to this guy for reviews. He has absolutely zero clue what he's talking about when it comes to the Monster Hunter franchise in general and if you don't believe me just take a look at his reviews of Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate and Monster Hunter Rise. He reviews games he knows little to nothing about yet he'll claim to be this big fan of the series. His own lack of basic knowledge in his own videos shows otherwise.

The issue with the silent protagonist and the moronic cat made me loath the first game and knowing that this idea returns makes me never want to play this. That and the hypocrisy of the Riders wanting to befriend monsters and being at odds with Hunters who of course kill monsters, only to be given quest after quest and quest that ultimately ends with you murdering dozens of monsters (and the fact that you steal eggs and likely kill the parent in the process). Long story short, the story in the first game was inconsistent and horribly written (for game called Monster Hunter STORIES, that pisses me off and I expected more) and had annoying characters, and so I don't have high hopes for the sequel.

I won't be picking this up not because it doesn't look great but because I just don't have time for another JRPG on the Switch. For me, the bar for an RPG has never been higher for a console, and with the 60+ hours I have on Rise with another 60+ to go I can't invest more time. As much as I love the genre, modern-day RPGs are just too damn long with too much damn busy work.

Ive tried liking it...the story is just ok. The gameplay is just not great. You dont have full control of the monsters and your partner, only you. Its kinda just luck and the game pretty much plays for you. Very little strategy. You get carried by your buddy and their monster and just play as the white mage. The grind is bad because everything gets outdated quick. Characters are ok. Navirou is incredibly annoying and hes there to speak for you which is one of the stupid typical things thats done for silent and custom protags. The exploration is boring and maps are really bland. The dialogue is complete cringe and too kiddie. I wish you played as an adult and the story and overall game was mature. They really want to capture the yokai watch and pokemon fans with this game I guess. This shouldve just been a good traditional turnbased jrpg. For a "Story" game, its not very good in that department. It shouldve just been named Monster Hunter Riders. You should only get the game if you love the grind of mh games and pokemon.
