I'm new to the franchise but the gameplay loop worked for me in a way that Monster Hunter has not. It's fast and snappy, the levels aren't very big and you don't really have to track enemies. That works for me more, plus I enjoy the sci-fi aesthetic. Another thing that pulled me along is the story, which isn't amazing in general but is definitely good enough to keep me wanting to progress. Maybe that's something MH has lacked for me and a reason I can't get into it. This also has a lot of depth.
