I like RPGs. Final Fantasy, Witcher 3, Fallout 3 and 4, Skyrim, Morrowind, Oblivion, etc.

Will I enjoy Monster Hunter: World? Is it good? Does it have a good story? Or is it (too) fetch-questy?

I’m looking at this one because it’s available with Spanish audio and text whereas other Monster World games only have Spanish text, if that. So the others aren’t an option, but feel free to compare this one to the others.

    I tried Dark Souls and hated it! Maybe MHW isn’t for me. What did you think of Sekiro? (I think that’s also available in Spanish.) I assume you’re grouping it with Soulsborne games because it’s similar. But does it have a decent story? I quite liked uncharted 1–3, so I’m not against action-y games. They just can’t be too intense. (Dying Light was too much for me; but if I could save anywhere and turn it off when I wanted, that game would be a winner.)

    Maybe I’ll look into the other MH games if most of the language will be text, anyway.

      I love Sekiro. It’s one of my favourite games of all time.

      It’s story IMO is amazing. But the thing is the story is not delivered to you through exposition. Sekiro has cutscenes and the cutscenes are actually more descriptive than Dark Souls games. But still the cutscenes only tell you a part of the plot. The story is instead pieced together by reading item descriptions, paying attention to the surrounding, etc. so it is a very unconventional way of storytelling in video games. This is what almost all From Software games do. You can always watch videos like THIS to understand the story in depth which do a very good job.

      The combat is still the primary focus of the game. If you don’t enjoy the combat I doubt you will want to enjoy the story.

        Hmm… sounds like one to strongly consider. I’m not against combat, I’m just a bit picky.

        Have you played Mafia? That also seems to have the story unfold through cut scenes but I wasn’t sure how much I’d enjoy it.

            That’s interesting. I had thought that Elden Ring was more of the same so I’d avoided it. Is it a bit different to Dark Souls, then?
