Monster Hunt Stories has some solid drama. You play as natives that try to live in harmony I’m with monsters but sometimes a monster prophecy happens and you got prevent the monster apocalypse with your monster friend and villagers while uncovering the human conspiracy behind it all. Simple common premise for children stories that’s always good when the drama is executed well

Doesn’t bombard you with a ridiculous amount of talking cutscenes where people say nothing like modern Pokemon games. At least since Sun and Moon but maybe all the 3DS Pokemon games started over explaining everything
