Will I enjoy MHW?
It's closest analogue is probably Darksouls, in that you're mainly just using your weapon of choice to chip away at various large behemoths to murder them and progress the story/side missions and craft more items to kill larger behemoths.

It scratches a really particular itch and is very fluid (and quite fun in a group of 2 or 4) and actually challenging, but the story is paper thin and more of an excuse to see the various combat locales and monster types.

As far as single-player goes, you'll feel a bit limited as certain weapon sets aren't great for solo play.
