Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
i bought this (the main game and most of the dlcs) pretty recently during the 90% off sale a month or two ago and i have not regretted it at all. as the time of writing, i've got 85 hrs on it. note: i haven't played any other hunting game other than like an hour on "thehunter: classic" so it's pretty hard for me to compare them.
