Monster Hunter Stories 3 Is Way Better Than I Expected | State Of The Arc Podcast
About this episode
The episode discusses the unexpected depth and engagement of Monster Hunter Stories 3 as a JRPG.
Monster Hunter Stories 3 surprised us! What looked at first like a smaller Monster Hunter spinoff turned out to be one of the most engaging JRPG experiences we’ve had so far this year. From its layered turn-based combat to its monster ecology systems and mythic symbolism embedded in its world, there is far more going on here than we anticipated. In this video, we break down why Monster Hunter Stories 3 works, what makes its combat so satisfying, and why its world and story feel deeper than they first appear. This discussion stays mostly spoiler-light and focuses on the game’s opening regions and core systems. If you’ve played it, let us know what you think. #MonsterHunterStories3 #JRPG #MonsterHunter #GameReview #Capcom Time Codes: 1. Intro (0:00) 2. Background On The Monster Hunter Series (1:20) 3.
