If you like fighting boss type monsters and don't mind having to go through the cutscenes for the story then I think it is worthwhile.

I think Monster Hunter is just a fun game, the story really takes away from the game and honestly has since World but once you are through the story it no longer matters so I just kind of slog through it.

I play these to kill big boss monsters and because it is satisfying to play different weapons well, but if you can't get over some faggotry in the story and with NPCs then I wouldn't suggest it.
