Humble Bundle offer – questions as a non-player /u/Yrddraiggoch Monster Hunter: World

Just got the Humble Bundle email about their Monster Hunter World offer. $25 for the following:

World + deluxe kit

iceborne + deluxe kit

Sunbreak + deluxe kit

Rise + deluxe kit.

I am assuming it is worth the $25 for all that gameplay so my primary question is:

as a single player can the game be paused without putting my character at risk? I ask as my wife has mobility limitations so I have to be able to pause any game to go help her with stuff.

How enjoyable is it purely on solo? I basically have zero interest in trying to run any game in multiplayer.

thanks all
