There are sooo many monsters in this game and that rocks. It doesn’t feel great to play but it doesn’t feel horrible either once you understand the mechanics. There appears to be a lot of fanservice that won’t mean anything to you if you haven’t played the games before it but that doesn’t mean what’s there isn’t cool. Story and characters are nonexistent, practically, but that isn’t what you should be expecting from a Monster Hunter game anyhow. It’s a good game! It has a lot of content. Alas, this also means that you have a lot of grinding to do.
