"Twisted Reflection's greatest achievement is gifting the series with a gorgeous facelift and bringing it to modern consoles. Even though its monsters' fire breath didn't quite blow me away, the flames were a treat to watch."
"In Twisted Reflection, you portray the prince or princess of Azuria, a kingdom home to Riders, known for their ability to tame and ride Monsties. As a Ranger, you're one step above the average Rider, both mounting Monsties in battle and recovering monster eggs in the wild to rebuild ecosystems."
"Its weakest element is Rudy, your cat-like Palico companion, who consistently frustrated me with his overbearing, protective nature. Almost every other character is calm and level-headed, even in disagreements with the protagonists, so Rudy's outbursts stick out like a sore thumb and make him hard to root for."
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection follows the prince or princess of Azuria, a Ranger tasked with taming Monsties and recovering monster eggs to rebuild ecosystems. When the Encroachment, a magical environmental threat, endangers a neighboring kingdom, the protagonist and their crew embark on a continent-spanning journey to prevent war. The straightforward story occasionally engages with plot twists and impressive setpieces, particularly the ending. The game's primary strength lies in its visual overhaul, featuring brighter, more vibrant colors with realistic edges. However, the Palico companion Rudy proves frustrating with his overbearing personality, contrasting sharply with other calm characters. Combat can feel tedious at times, and technical issues like texture pop-in occur on Switch 2.
