(Switch Titles only pls)
I’m more of a cozy gamer nowadays but I don’t mind action and shooters when they’re well made and the story is decent.
I’ve always loved Samus as a character even though I’ve never played and I want to give the franchise the honour of atleast trying. I find I get very stressed in some action games and my life is already quite stressful due to mental heath struggles and working a physical job so I’ve started playing more relaxing titles over the past few years. That being said, I always enjoy a bit of action here and there especially on weekends or when I’m feeling upbeat so I was wondering what game would be considered easiest to grasp and has the best visuals and story elements? I love sci-fi fantasy so I’m excited for whatever gets suggested since I figure the fandom is the best place to ask!
I also do want to mention that I’m looking for an easier to grasp game but I don’t mind a bit of a learning curve, I just want something that I can enjoy and that gives me a solid taste of the franchise, I will be going in with a very open mind!

So essentially, I’ve played about 25 hours of monster hunter stories 2 on my switch as I wanted to get a genuine experience and relearn some of the early monsters and mechanics and get into the franchise on my switch since the last time I played was on my DS! I absolutely love MHS2 and I’m super excited to start 3 to the point where I’m itching to just start it now and join all the conversations since I did buy them both. My conundrum is that I feel I won’t want to come back and finish 2 after I start 3 due to the changes and QoL updates but I also don’t want to wait long enough that I miss all the buzz and discussions around 3 online.

If anyone has any advice or tips let me know! MHS3 looks amazing and I can’t wait to start but I also don’t want to accidentally cut MHS2 without giving its story a solid chance if MHS3 is worlds better like people seem to say.
