It's a good entry in the series but a bit overhyped. People say this is the best MH story and I was expecting something really mindblowing but it's nothing major. It's just not utterly terrible like the other games, but still extremely generic and boring at most points.
But anyway, people don't play this game because of the story (and neither do I). Gameplay is pretty fun and the village progression is great. Weapons and armours look sick.
Most of the late-game fights are pretty bad, though. And even some early ones like Rathalos and Khezu. The monsters do the "combo you to death" too much in this game. Dying to your own fault is fine, but dying because of the relentless AI or jankyness of the fight is frustrating. Savage Jho, the metal raths, the Khezus, Brachydios - they're all terrible fights in this game. But I suppose every MH has their share of bullshit fights...
