I do love a bit of Monster Hunter; by which I mean a lot of Monster Hunter - I dread to imagine the total number of hours I've spent with the series over the years. I love the pageantry of the hunt, I love stupid big swords and ludicrous outfits made of monster bits, and, above all else, I love the half joyful, half-sultry 'Soooo tasty!' (Thank you for bringing it back, Capcom). What I haven't yet gelled with, despite my best efforts and enthusiasm, is Capcom's colourful turn-based RPG spin-off Monster Hunter Stories. But with the advent of its third outing, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, I think I'm finally in.

I adored Resident Evil 7. After the series' identity had slowly taken on water over the course of the last decade or so's mainline entries and spin-offs, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (to use its full name) reminded us all why Capcom is the king of modern horror gaming. It managed to do two very important things: pay tribute to the origins of Resident Evil whilst also laying the foundations for what was to come over the next decade. It's an iconic game, a statement of intent for Capcom, and - as of the release of Requiem - we're still feeling the impact of it now.

Don't worry, though, Nintendo has confirmed we will soon get an update that addresses a variety of bugs present in the launch version of the game.
