If you have hundreds of hours of podcasts or audiobooks to catch up to, GE1 and 2 are pretty good games.
Both are pretty decent monster hunter clones, with simplistic combat, but not to the point it becomes braindead.
Story is incredibly anime and dumb to the point it actually becomes so bad it's good and it still manages to pull off good emotional moment every now and then.
Grinding is quite insane if you plan to 100% it, you are looking at something like 100 hours per game of killing same mobs over and over again. But then again if you do it slowly and while listening to something in the background it's quite relaxing.
Presentation is quite nice, graphics are of course anime as all hell with extreme jiggle physics attached to everything that at least resembles pair of boobas. Same with sound design, voicework, even the ENG one, really fits the Shounen style they are going for, music is quite excellent, memorable and retains same feel.
Out of the two games I'd say GE1 is better due to less bloat but if you are into cringy anime stories and like to grind every now and then, both games are worth the time.

Monster Hunter-like with BIG ANIME aesthetic. At times the combat actually feels like Kingdom Hearts as well, in my opinion.
VERY grindy, kind of addicting. But if you aren't into the gameplay loop within 3 or 4 solid hours, this game isn't for you. Nothing wrong with not liking it either, it was originally a handheld (original PSP) exclusive and at times the limitation of both the graphics and gameplay emphasize this.
Story is... kind of "eh." But I think the world is interesting and one story element I did enjoy was the acknowledgement of events in the original game. Characters from God Eater 1 are acknowledged and some even make returns in this game.
The anime aesthetic is yes, kind of cringe. But it's stylish and even though the characters make me wince sometimes, I do find them kind of charming.
I've yet to play GE3 but one thing I REALLY dislike about this sequel is that there's not more to the customization. It feels very much like GE1 which isn't a bad thing, but also feels lacking in originality. So hopefully as the series grows in popularity (assuming it ever does) features like more elaborate customization, deeper character creation, and better articulation of stats (this is a big one: RPG leveling should be a thing in these games) should definitely be included in future installments.
GE2 is an enjoyable and addicting 7/10 that kills time like the plague.

Anime Monster Hunter with an actual story. It's an older game, so the combat and graphics are dated, but the story and characters make up for it. I've played through more than once and will always recommend it.
Also, Soma deserves infinite hugs.

The God Eater series is basically anime Monster Hunter. I've been playing Monster Hunter & it's contemporaries for a long time. I originally played God Eater Burst, the first god eater released in the west for the PSP, when I was younger. I've also played the remaster/expansion of God Eater Burst: God Eater Resurrection. Finally getting around to this game, I can recommend it. The game has its issues, some of which are inherent to the genre: reused enemies, repetitive game-play loop, RNG being a pain in the butt, and so on. However, this game (and franchise really) has some of the best music out there, has memorable characters, and much more. I will say, I think overall God Eater 1, is a better game, with a tighter story, and perhaps less anime tropes. Alas, this game does a wonderful job building out the world created in 1 and really giving you actual development of the characters both old and new, something many sequels fail to do. If you can stomach some anime cringe (tropes, weird fan-service, odd voice acting, stiff cut-scenes) you'll find a really enjoyable game, absolutely reminded me of being young playing PSP hunter games.

Anime Monster Hunter on speed. Includes God Eater Resurrection which is very similar. This one starts really slow with many fights against the same monsters. The variety of monsters gets better later, but still many fights against the same monsters. So far it has been very easy, easier than the first one. But it is fun.
Wait for a sale, i bought all 3 for 7€ (-90% on bundle!), i would not buy this one for 50€.
Update: At difficulty 11 they switched from "too easy" to "insanley hard and annoying", stopping for now.
