Bought this game in the sale and I absolutely adore it, definitely one of my most favorite games. If I had the financial capability I would be more than glad to spend the full price for this game.
Story, characters and whatnot are all well done and established.
The environments, the base and whatnot are absolutely gorgeous and amazing. The most important thing is that everywhere feels alive. The base(Astera), along with the music never feels like a chore to walk around like most games. The ambience, animal behaviors and everything is connected to each other like an actual ecosystem.
The best part are the fights. Unlike most games you truly feel like fighting something, the animations and actions of both you and monsters have weight to them. There are a wide variety of weapons too choose for your liking, and each monster is unique in their attacks and physiologies that you have to strategize against them with armor, weapons, items, traps and so on before each hunt. I also haven't encountered a single performance issue, bug or crash. Everything is well coded and optimized.
Overall, a definitely good game. Deserves a try from anyone that thinks it'll be their cup of tea. The learning curve isn't too great, but things take a bit of time getting used to.
