Ahh monster hunter where do I begin this game is the reason a lot of people like handheld consoles and its easy to see why. The game has very fluent controls which rarely mess up unlike newer games in the franchise which have laggier controls. The games depth will make you hooked by the sheer addictiveness that this game is some people play for 700 or more hours on a single save file due to the monsters being engaging and very challenging but also very satisfying/rewarding. But the game does have I steep learning curve that most games don't have as much of but looking past that you will find a lot of content such as online co-op with up to 4 players a offline mode that is just as satisfying when you complete it through to the end as well as some unique weapons such as the great sword a giant sword that is slow but powerful the lance aka joust mode enabled and the sword and shield the noobiest weapon but also not half bad one. If your not killing monsters however your gathering items to do those hunts or to upgrade your sick looking gear. 
In summary monster hunter is a game that is fun to play for enjoyment if slaughtering huge beasts .
