I'm a die-hard fan of the Monster Hunter series and World is one of my all-time favorite games. I still play it today. If you have a good PC, I suggest playing World until Rise comes to PC in 2022. There's SO MUCH content. Rise might be a newer game, but there really is no rush to play it. Being able to play these games at a consistent 60 FPS is such a massive difference compared to other platforms.

I have over 1000 hours on World and I strongly recommend it. I haven't beaten Rise yet, but World is more complete in terms of content. While events still occur every now and then, World is officially complete(with the DLC of course). World also has an event quest based off of the movie, and you can unlock Artemis' armor. If you like crossovers, there's stuff from Devil May Cry, Street Fighter, Megaman, and Resident Evil. If you have friends that'll come along for the ride, it's even better. If not, fret not, a fuck ton of people still play World, even though Rise is already out. The PC version has around 20,000 players playing every day.

World and Rise are both fairly beginner-friendly and Rise does introduce some quality-of-life features that remedy some of the issues people had with World. Whatever the case, with Monster Hunter being really the only game of its genre, there is honestly not a bad game in the franchise.

If you already have a Switch, you could always try out the Rise demo and see if the game is for you. Even if these games are the best of their genre, it means nothing if you don't actually like the genre.
