Well I mean rise is probably not the best game for that. I'd say world and likewise the iceborne dlc is an amazing first game that grabs a loওt of peoples attention and besides the mobile game I'd never compare Pokemon and mh, they are two vastly different series appealing to different things. Do you want to go around different areas fighting fantastical creatures ranging from a t-rex that breathes fire to a dragon that drops nukes the♍n monster hunter is for you, do you want a chill journey where you befriend the mosnters? Try monster hunter stories 1 and 2 for a more rpg feel
