Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a game that impresses by its size and its ambition. After more than 160 hours necessary to complete 100% of the game I can say that it is a gift for any fan of RPGs, being one of the most impressive games to have in the first year of a console. With varied and very beautiful music this game will guarantee dozens of hours of fun. With so many excellent qualities, Xenoblade 2 is a must-have game in your library and will make you little by little enchanted by these incredible characters.

Monolith Soft has crafted a game in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 that takes the very best of JRPG elements and mixes it with some of the open world massiveness we’ve seen in titles like Horizon: Zero Dawn and Breath of the Wild this year.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a phenomenal RPG. It's a truly incredible piece of work that builds and expands on the series' staples, while turning into a unique and heartfelt adventure all of its own.

Without being the game of the year, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 manages to offer enough good things to be a very decent JRPG game that is worth the attention of any Nintendo Switch owner, in spite of a few shortcomings like the awful clipping and framerate drops.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 certainly isn’t a title for those looking for a quick to play RPG or an easy to learn experience, but for anyone willing to invest the time there’s a gem underneath that just needs to be buffed out.

The slog is real, but worth it for hard core JRPG fans.

The highly anticipated sequel to one of the Wii's biggest sleeper hits is one of the most overindulgent games of the year.

Let’s be honest, I don’t think we need to pretend anymore. No one booted up Xenoblade Chronicles 2 for “the plot,” “the combat system,” or “the emotional themes of fate and identity” or whatever nonsense people try to say in interviews. That’s all PR talk. The real core gameplay loop is extremely simple: walk → fight monster → cutscene → Pyra/Mythra appear → brain stops working → repeat. At a certain point I stopped even trying to progress the story because I realized I was no longer playing the game. I was just waiting for the next scheduled appearance of Pyra or Mythra like it was a limited-time event in a live service game. And the game knows this. It has to. Because there is no way someone accidentally designs two characters like that and then builds an entire RPG around them and claims it’s “coincidental storytelling focus.” It becomes less of a JRPG and more of a psychological test: “How long can you concentrate on political intrigue and world-ending stakes while these two are on screen?” Answer: not long. The real controversy isn’t even whether it’s “too much” or “not too much.” The real controversy is that the game forces you to choose between two equally catastrophic outcomes: Try to understand the plot, Or acknowledge what is actually happening on screen. And once you accept that reality, there is only one meaningful question left in the entire game: Pyra or Mythra?And I still don’t have an answer. And I think that’s what the game was really about all along.

XC2 is a good game with some interesting story beats, cool environments to explore, massive enemies to battle, and a combat system that can make you feel accomplished once you learn how it all works together. Many of the side quests are fun and it's satisfying to unlock new items in towns and eventually become partners with local merchants by investing in their stores. Sadly, some of the enjoyment of the game is undermined by the completely unnecessary sexism included. One of the primary characters has a scantily character model with obscenely large breasts and side interactions about how to better please her master, another has a multi-generational family tradition of building maid-costume-wearing-robots designed for combat, maid-duties, and literally shaking their ass in a bunny costume. I can hardly roll my eyes hard enough. If you can stomach this level of pervy pandering, there is also a good game in here. Bu it would be nice if the developers would recognize that their audience isn't all horny pre-teens who like the idea of big-booby-sword-girls who could destroy the world but instead choose to stay home and do the cooking.

Je l'ai beaucoup aimé j'ai passé des centaines d'heures dessus, les paysages la musique et le gameplay sont top. Mais je n'aime pas le fan service et les femme a gros seins, puis pyra la personnages secondaires qui épaule notre hero es écrite comme une femme maternelle et c'est dommage. Pas de femme forte elle ne sont pas très bien écrite. C'est un peu mieux dans le 3. Sinon le jeu es top

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a very ambitious game so much so that it really damages the very fabric of the game. I've experienced my game crashing several times in my playthrough. There's also issues with the health system and combat in my opinion. Overall the story is a good one but if we compare this game to Xenoblade Chronicles 1. It unfortunately just falls way too short. A good RPG but not a great one.

Cutscenes and character designs are cringe weeb s**t, gameplay consists of approximately 5000 convoluted systems that fail to interlock in any meaningful way, writing and voice acting are absolutely horrendous, and the game berates you with dumb tutorials every five minutes for ten hours plus. I really liked Xenoblade DE, but this is borderline unplayable.
