A More Focused Experience
Finally, Monster Hunter Stories 2 feels like the antithesis to the mainline games based on how short it is, and how focused the entire experience is.
Wings of Ruin is heavily focused on the main story and narrative, which can be a good thing for players who prefer guidance and direction, as compared to mainline games where you’ll be forced to come up with your own goals after you’ve faced every monster at least once.
This makes Wings of Ruin a pretty nice, bite-sized experience that you can get a lot out of in a week. While there are deviants and other dangerous endgame monsters to hunt, Wings of Ruin makes you feel like you got a full proper story just from playing the main campaign, which isn’t always the case with your regular MonHun games.
Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is now available on Switch and PC.
