If you don’t have Rise or World, it’s a decent price for them. These are by far the most approachable titles in the series. Rise is a bit more fast paced and has more QoL features. World + iceborne has more interesting combat mechanics with the clutch claw and environment interaction. Killing giant monsters with absurd weapons is fun in both games.

Stories is a totally different type of game in the same universe. It seems to be well received.
