Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection wowed us when it came out earlier this year, improving on its predecessors where it mattered, while the stronger narrative focus made it easier to get invested in what it had to offer.
Well, the game has now amassed a million sales in a mere eight months after its release, which is quite a feat. We suspect the satisfying gameplay and unique world design we specified as a core strength in our review may have contributed to that success. However, there’s a lot more to like about this one outside of those qualities. There’s the art direction and presentation, for starters, both of which were very alluring facets. It feels like it was just yesterday we were talking about its accolades trailer that highlighted much of the above across the board among other critics.
There’s also that Rudy-focused DLC to consider, which adds an interesting bit of story and new gameplay. It’s easy to see why this one has kept going strong, and it remains a title we’d recommend with a smile if you’re looking to scratch that monster-hunting itch.
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.
