Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition closes on Nintendo Switch the entire epic of the saga built over the years by Monolith Soft, with a series of improvements related to gameplay, visual aspect, menu interface and quality of life, seasoned with a story that thanks to the unreleased chapter concludes the events left almost open by the ending of the "vanilla" title. Xenoblade Chronicles X will not have in some ways the same memorability of a "numbered" Xenoblade on the main story, but the world of Mira and the entire lore built above the surface of the planet, also expanded by the new characters and the unreleased chapter, are the most fascinating of the entire saga. For those who are passionate about Xenoblade or JRPG in general and are orphaned by the original, Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is a must. Different but at the same time familiar to the other episodes of the saga in its gameplay structure, it will accompany you under the arm for many hours. A journey that, as long as you are not allergic to experiences with many missions to do, will still remain in your heart.

Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist is essentially a "team that wins, you don't change" for those who have played Ender Lilies, who may feel an understandable sense of deja vu. Nonetheless, if you liked the predecessor, this one certainly won't disappoint you at all. For anyone new to the game, however, Ender Magnolia is an excellent dark fantasy metroidvania to fully experience, in which it is not necessarily necessary to have played the predecessor to understand the events of Lilac and the lore of the Land of Fumes in detail, although there is some references to Lilies. Solid in level design, in combat mechanics, in exploration and in the RPG side with the parameters and growth of the character level, the new work by Adglobe and Live Wire is completely convincing, also thanks to a very elegant graphic style and a well crafted soundtrack. Perhaps something more could have been done in terms of battles with some bosses, but nothing that negatively affects the overall quality of the game.
