You don't actually capture any monsters in MH Stories 2, but rather raid their nests for eggs that you can bring home and hatch.
It's not that this formula is bad, but it's just become so repetitive. Rinse and repeat while traversing linear corridors fighting trainers or taking down a Gym Leader to unlock the next zone. Nearly every game is rooted in the same loop of walking back and forth in tall grass, fighting a wild Pokémon that appears, and then hitting it with a Pokeball to catch it. Gimmicky new evolutions and experimental open-world zones can't really mask the reality that Pokémon is chained to 20-year-old ideas. Monster Hunter Stories 2 blends the best of Pokémon with the best of Monster Hunter in a way that really taps back into that childhood nostalgia.Īs someone that's played Pokémon ever since Red and Blue in 1998, its gradual stagnation and reliance on the same core systems is a little exhausting. With a gorgeous open world to explore, a fully voiced acted (and very charming) story to follow, and battle and catching systems that are both much more interesting than Game Freak has done in years, Monster Hunter Stories 2 is the Pokémon game I've been waiting for. More than just a good Pokémon clone, Monster Hunter Stories 2 outright supplants it entirely.
