En definitiva, nos encontramos ante un juego notable que convence en términos generales. A nivel audiovisual, esta secuela es sobresaliente, el combate por turnos solventa los errores cometidos en el diseño del mundo, los toques roleros "old school" se sienten bien y el multijugador añade una capa extra de contenido.

Monster Hunter Stories 2 Wings of Ruin puede pecar de continuista en algunos apartados y no logra solucionar aspectos negativos de la primera entrega, pero es una aventura sólida, distinta dentro de la saga y que cuenta con alicientes suficientes como para darle una oportunidad.

El cómo y el cuándo depende de vosotros. Capcom ha querido rendir un bonito homenaje al monstruo insignia de esta saga y nosotros solo nos podemos hacer eco de las palabras del bueno de Navirou durante toda la aventura: It's time to Ride on!!!

3D Juegos

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin es primero una adaptación súper acertada de los juegos tradicionales al formato JRPG, y segundo, un juego que se sostiene muy bien por sí mismo. Con sus más y sus menos, la historia se disfruta mucho gracias a unos personajes muy expresivos y unas cinemáticas muy cuidadas; además de una fantástica localización al castellano. El sistema de combate se siente genial, cortando el tedio de subir de nivel hasta mínimos lógicos y priorizando el aprendizaje o la selección de compañeros por encima de las estadísticas. No todo es perfecto, claro, así que en el futuro deberá esforzarse por reducir las misiones "de relleno" en la campaña principal, mejorar las guaridas de monstruos y pulir el apartado técnico. Pero el conjunto es sobradamente disfrutable.

Vida Extra

No te sabría decir cuánto tiempo llevaba buscando un RPG de carácter japonés que me apasionase. Que me enganchase con fuerza y me tuviese jugando hasta que la batería de mi Switch pidiera clemencia. Hoy me complace confirmarte que he encontrado ese juego. Su nombre es Monster Hunter Stories 2 y tengo claro no es un romance de verano: se ha posicionado merecidamente entre mis JRPG favoritos.

Capcom vuelve a lucirse con su saga estrella con una aventura imprescindible y un enfoque diferente que le sienta de maravilla. Reteniendo lo esencial, y llevando desde ahí al jugador, al apasionado por los JRPGs y a aquellos que enganchan una cacería épica con la siguiente, a una historia con personajes que tienen mucho que aportar, una historia de corte clásico y unos paisajes de auténtico ensueño.

Y es que el modo en el que Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin te invita a perderse, curiosear o acumular recursos y niveles o te permite ir directamente al siguiente tramo de la historia debe sentar nueva cátedra.

¿Lo mejor? Como ocurre con Monster Hunter Rise, el lanzamiento es solo el principio: a lo largo de los próximos meses la propuesta de juego se irá redondeando con nuevos contenidos, monstruos y desafíos. Elevando la rareza de las criaturas y añadiendo nuevos quests y encargos. Dándonos nuevas excusas para seguir estrechando vínculos con nuestros monsties.

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin es, por derecho propio, uno de los RPGs imprescindibles de Nintendo Switch y hará las delicias de los apasionados por el rol Made in Japan de PC. Además, claro, de aquellos jugadores de escritorios que le han dedicado incontables horas a Monster Hunter World. Y, en el proceso, es la demostración definitiva de cómo expandir el universo y el propio legado de una saga de culto, como es Monster Hunter, saliéndose por la tangente.

Es cierto que el juego comete errores, pero también que pesan más los aciertos y que resulta difícil no ver el potencial de la fórmula. Tocará pulir ciertas cosas, pero creo que hay algo aquí y que merece la pena seguir intentándolo, ni que sea por probar hasta donde puede llegar un Monster Hunter Stories que se atreva a serlo de verdad, a cortar lazos y seguir su propio camino. En lo personal creo que debería ser el del JRPG de verdad, comprometido con su mundo y con su argumento, porque diría que el simulador de cazar monstruos y fabricar espadones lo tenemos más que cubierto. Mientras no se tome esa decisión, la subsaga seguirá siendo lo que es ahora: uno de esos episodios en los que el guaperas del instituto se cita con dos chicas en el mismo baile y acaba por no hacerle caso a ninguna, y una de esas versiones a ritmo de bachata de grandes clásicos del rock 'n' roll. ¿Entretenidas? Sin duda, pero al final solo consiguen que eches de menos la grandeza del original.

Area Jugones - 8.2

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin es, en resumen, una propuesta interesante tanto para los jugadores de Monster Hunter como los de Pokémon. Capcom fusiona a la perfección ambos conceptos en un producto con un mayor énfasis en la historia no tan prominente en ambas franquicias, y en el que algunos detalles le privan de ser uno de los juegos más destacados de todo 2021.

IGN España - 8

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin amplía y mejora lo visto en la primera entrega, con un apartado visual más maduro y pequeñas modificaciones en las batallas. Extremadamente profundo, más de lo que pronostican sus primeras horas, con unos combates por turnos magníficos y la capacidad de engancharte sin remedio a la obtención de nuevos Monsties si eres capaz de entrar en su dinámica, pues requiere de cierta predisposición del jugador. Una estupenda manera de percibir desde otra perspectiva el universo de Monster Hunter. Tened en cuenta los problemas de rendimiento de Nintendo Switch, eso sí.

Meristation - 7.8

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin es, con todo, un buen JRPG; tanto por su sistema de progresión como por lo mucho que mejora la fórmula vista en la obra original. Es más videojuego. La cantidad de horas de contenido por delante es abrumadora, máxime si sumamos las submisiones, el endgame, el componente multijugador online o el mero placer de crear nuestras propias armas y armaduras. Como en la saga clásica. El peor enemigo del título es su estructura, excesivamente repetitiva y con un esquema de avance al que las horas de partida le pasan factura. Sus problemas técnicos lastran que pueda aspirar a más; por suerte, Capcom se ha volcado con el apartado audiovisual, dotando a este proyecto de unos valores de producción para quitarse el sombrero. Divertido, ameno, fresco, puro. La saga Monster Hunter, convertida en JRPG por turnos. Y se siente como pez en el agua.

Vandal - 8

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin es un notable JRPG con el que nos lo hemos pasado genial y que nos ha dejado muy buenos momentos. Sí, le cuesta demasiado arrancar, pero una vez lo hace y pilla ritmo no para de mejorar hasta llegar al final, convirtiéndose en una aventura muy amena y entretenida que bien merece la pena a poco que nos atraiga este universo tan único y especial. Muy recomendable.

Eurogamer (recommended):
Cita:The story may be nothing to write home about, but not everyone likes the original Monster Hunter gameplay, and those people may well find what they're looking for here - I know I did. MHS 2 is a warm and kind game with fun character design, engaging voice acting and some beautiful vistas, and even when things got grindy I wanted to keep going to meet new Monsties and visit friends old and new.

App Trigger (10/10):
Cita:Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin takes the various things that made the first Monster Hunter Stories game such a fun ride and improves upon it by adding a bigger, more gorgeous world, new gameplay mechanics and an easier-to-access multiplayer. From exploring and finding new companion monsties to the engaging battle system, everything this game does is done remarkably well.

God is a Geek (9.5/10):
Cita:Monster Hunter Stories 2 is a fantastic adventure filled to the brim with challenge, heart, and - most importantly - monsters.

Reno Gazette-Journal (9.5/10):
Cita:Once in a while, you come across a game that surprises you in the most pleasant ways. Monster Hunter Stories 2 went above and beyond my expectations for the sequel with its wonderful visuals as well as a story with plenty of heart, poignancy as well as some good old fun thrown in between. It’s obvious that a great amount of effort was put in this game and it shows. Given how the first game underperformed, Monster Hunter Stories 2 is a game that shouldn’t have been made. Thank goodness that it was.

Gaming Age (9.1/10):
Cita:It’s certainly one of my favorite Switch games of the year so far, and an excellent RPG altogether. Even if you’re not the biggest Monster Hunter fan in the world, I think you’ll find the unique monster gathering mechanic to be quite addictive, making this a hard game to put down.

Video Chums (9.1/10):
Cita:Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is a top-notch RPG with a challenging battle system and varied world. Once I started playing, I couldn't put it down as it continued to capture my imagination with its enjoyable exploration and heartwarming story.

Noisy Pixel (9/10):
Cita:Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is an amazing JRPG that offers an exceptional monster collecting experience combined with a great story. The added narrative doesn't lose focus on what makes the Monster Hunter series so addictive and only enhances the experience. This game successfully built on the systems present in the original and improved them for a brand new adventure. While the performance can be questionable, I enjoyed every second of my time exploring the world with my Monsties by my side.

Windows Central (4.5/5):
Cita:Monster Hunter Stories 2 is a fun, anime-inspired ride that gets better the further you delve in. It has a huge roster of Monsties to tame, a simple to learn but difficult to master combat system, and an insanely addictive Monstie development system.

Attack of the Fanboy (4.5/5):
Cita:Monster Hunter Stories remains a blast from beginning to end, offering tons of content and a unique take on the Monster Hunter formula.

Siliconera (9/10):
Cita:Monster Hunter Stories 2 is not only a friendly way to ease into an otherwise imposing series. It’s also an example of a developer improving upon every flaw

Nintendo Enthusiast (9/10):
Cita:Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin breathes new life into the world of Monster Hunter. The shift to a turn-based RPG is handled so well, with an addictive and fast-paced combat system that's just as rewarding as traditional Monster Hunter. Complementing that is a genuinely engaging story full of wonderful characters, all rendered in an incredibly beautiful art style. Whether you're a newcomer or a series veteran, this is a must-play RPG.

The Mako Reactor (9/10):
Cita:Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is the perfect JRPG for Monster Hunter fans and those looking to dive into a memorable adventure with gorgeous visuals on Nintendo Switch.

Digitally Downloaded (4.5/5):
Cita:I went into this expecting little more than a second-tier spinoff from the “real” Monster Hunter, and I’ve walked away with it being one of my favourite JRPGs of the year, in a year that has included Bravely Default, NieR, Atelier Ryza 2, and Scarlet Nexus. That is some incredible company to be in.

Hardcore Gamer (4.5/5):
Cita:For fans of the first title this one is a must-have to dive into so much more, while those interested for the very first time need not worry as nothing will be missed by picking up this sequel as the first entry. Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is an absolute joy with near endless amounts of fun to sink many hours into.

COGconnected (89/100):
Cita:Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is the perfect example of a game I didn’t know I needed. It scratches the itch that Pokemon hasn’t been able to touch in years, all the while setting itself apart from the influences it drew from. While it may be limited in certain aspects by the Switch itself, there’s no denying that this one of the best games for the system in 2021.

GamingTrend (85/100):
Cita:Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is a great and charming RPG with a similar, addicting gameplay loop as the main series. While the game drags a little in the middle, it's worth seeing through to the end and beyond.

Press Start (8.5/10):
Cita:Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is even more enjoyable than the original. Small and meaningful improvement build on the same addictive formula and rewarding battle system, with an endearing story to boot that'll hook in any fan of the franchise. The current state of the Switch version is a shame, but if you can get past the problems, Wings of Ruin has a lot to offer.

IGN (8/10):
Cita:Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is a beautifully presented JRPG with a plethora of fun things to do and deep systems I happily got lost in – but a few issues leave it short of being flawless.

VG247 (4/5):
Cita:Monster Hunter Stories 2 is a win, with so many quality of life changes from its predecessor on 3DS. It’s welcoming and accessible, familiar yet new, complex but not too confusing, and has plenty of surprises waiting for players and I can see myself playing it way beyond this review.

RPG Site (8/10):
Cita:I greatly enjoyed my time with Monster Hunter Stories 2, but if this review reads more restrained than the score might make you feel - it's because as much as I enjoyed the game, it still has its fair share of flaws, and I'm unsure if players with less of a history with the franchise might be willing to overlook them. Your mileage may vary, but one thing's for sure - it's great to see that Monster Hunter: Stories isn't dead, and hopefully this is just one of many more sequels to come.

PC Gamer (80/100):
Cita:Monster Hunter Stories 2 may look cute, but it still retains the huge amount of depth the series is known for. No, it's not as expansive or as fast-paced as the likes of Monster Hunter World but that works in its favour. Stories 2 is the approachable series entry point I've been waiting for and has inspired me to return to other games in the series to test out my skills again.

GamingBolt (8/10):
Cita:Will you like Monster Hunter Stories 2? It’s a really well-made JRPG with high production values that brings a lot of unique spins to the table, so chances are, you will. If you like Monster Hunter, or RPGs, or both, you’ll probably find a lot to like here. Even folks who are unfamiliar with the original Monster Hunter Stories game, or just Monster Hunter in general, will probably end up finding themselves enamored by the mechanically dense and well-made RPG on offer. It’s not perfect, and a presumed third game in the series still has a fair bit to address – but nothing here is game-breaking, and Wings of Ruin is a mechanically compelling RPG with high production values, and definitely among the best games of this style available on the Switch.

Nintendo Life (8/10):
Cita:Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin deserves to find a sizable audience. It's full of charm and boasts depth that can immerse the committed or be dabbled with by those eager to simply experience the story. As a blend of Monster Hunter with a traditional RPG approach it's an accomplished effort, and offers the sort of meaty experience that'll keep most players busy for weeks. Switch owners will need to tolerate some disappointing performance, unfortunately, but the overall experience shines nonetheless. It's a game of bright colours and wholehearted optimism, which is very welcome indeed.

Shacknews (8/10):
Cita:A combination that longtime Monster Hunter fans and turn-based RPG fans ought to see for themselves, though the grind might leave some more action-craving adventurers wanting.

Stevivor (8/10):
Cita:Fans of the Monster Hunter series – even the main games – will have a real hit on their hands here, with a pleasant change of pace from the usual Monster Hunter antics. That doesn’t mean that there’s not plenty here for the layman too, and if you’re looking for a fun, if a bit easy, title to run you through to that huge release window in October than this is definitely worthy of your consideration.

Nintendo World Report (8/10):
Cita:That said, Stories 2 might end up being the game I get the closest to a "perfect game" in. There's plenty to play with here, and honestly I'd like to double back and check out the original to fill in some of the gaps in the story. This JRPG July is off to a pretty good start.

TheGamer (4/5):
Cita:Those looking for an easygoing yet surprisingly deep JRPG will be taken with Monster Hunter Stories 2, even if some of its more notable flaws are harder to forgive. But once you look past those, you’re left with a wondrous little adventure with an engaging battle system, lovable characters, and an emotionally resonant narrative that sunk its claws in far deeper than I ever expected it to. If you’ve never been able to vibe with the mainline games, give this one a punt.

TheSixthAxis (8/10):
Cita:Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is a great JRPG that blends the spirit of Monster Hunter with turn-based combat and exploration. The central story is good, but it's the loot loop and party building that really draws you in. It may not represent a huge leap forward from the original game, but this is a fantastic title for fans of either the main Monster Hunter series or JRPGs in general.

VGC (4/5):
Cita:Monster Hunter Stories 2 is a solid and thoroughly entertaining turn-based RPG. As long as you can put up with some bad jokes and relatively low difficulty, there's a lot of fun to be had here.

CGMagazine (8/10):
Cita:Despite a few things holding it back, I fell in love with Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, and it’s all I want to play now.

GameSkinny (7/10):
Cita:With many mechanics that help differentiate it substantially from the main games in the franchise and the welcomed addition of a proper English dub alongside a Japanese voice track, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is a good sequel. While there are some issues such as an underdeveloped main villain and a few performance problems, if you played Monster Hunter Stories and enjoyed it, you’ll definitely like this follow-up.

Checkpoint Gaming (7/10):
Cita:Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is somewhat imperfect, but the flaws don’t quite eclipse its strengths. Despite the annoying party AI and grind, the combat has the right level of tactical depth I would expect from a turn-based Monster Hunter game. With its adorable Monsties and a wide-open world to explore, gamers looking for a new JRPG to dive into can certainly do a lot worse. As long as you are prepared for some irritating supporting cast members and a somewhat repetitive gameplay loop, fans of the monster-collecting genre will get a lot out of this game.

Gaming Nexus (7/10):
Cita:Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is a mixed bag. Hatching and maxing out your Monsties is a lot of fun, but the battle system in which you spend most of your time eventually wears out its welcome.

Screen Rant (3.5/5):
Cita:If Monster Hunter Stories 2 allowed the player full control over the party and made it more about customizing a team, then the overall experience would make it an excellent entry in the franchise. Even without, it's a very good turn-based monster collector with broad appeal that's worth a look for fans of the genre.

Twinfinite (3.5/5):
Cita:Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin will serve as a great game for welcoming series newcomers into this vast and vibrant universe, but it might not be your cup of tea if you're already invested in the mainline series.

Comicbook.com (3.5/5):
Cita:For fans of the RPG genre, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is a mostly enjoyable experience. Sometimes the mission structure can drag, and some players are bound to find Navirou a bit irritating. However, the game's highlights definitely make up for the slower moments. This is a really solid RPG that gives the player freedom to go at their own pace. It also has a fun combat system, and charming story moments. For those that can look past its slight stumbles, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin should hold a lot of appeal, regardless of the player's familiarity with the franchise.
