Xenoblade Chronicles X Reviews
Xenoblade Chronicles X was absolutely worth the import, despite my struggles to progress through the game due to the language barrier. Despite that and my few misgivings, I was still able to completely enjoy the rest of the content: combat, exploration, quests and Dolls, which truly speaks to the quality of the game. I'll definitely be picking up Xenoblade Chronicles X when it releases in English so I can fully experience every aspect of this title as it was meant to be enjoyed.
An old employment credo stands firm with a game like Xenoblade Chronicles X – the more you put into it, the more you get out of it. The question is if you're ready to endure that trial…and there's no question that many fans will be.
Xenoblade Chronicles X is a genuinely enthralling game. It doesn't take it easy on you though, and the perseverance and attention required may override the spectacle and beauty found here. Fans of the last game may also struggle with the tonal and technical shift, but if you want to experience one of the most involving, creative and expansive open worlds ever created, Xenoblade Chronicles X is essential.
Xenoblade Chronicles X beweist sich als das JRPG auf das Wii U Besitzer gewartet haben. Der Titel bietet alles man von einem JRPG erwarten würde und holt in Sachen Grafik und Gameplay noch das letzte aus der Wii U heraus. Falls ihr aktuell auf der Suche nach einer neuen Welt zum eintauchen oder einfach nur unzähligen Stunden mit Monster bekämpfen und aufleveln verbringen wollt, macht ihr mit dem neuen Xenoblade absolut nichts falsch. Die ersten Stunden sind zwar wirklich anstregend zum einsteigen und auch die Lernkurve geht nach einiger Zeit steil nach oben bzw. erfordert etwas an Zeit, aber ansonsten macht der Titel eigentlich alles richtig.

Despite never reaching its true potential Xenoblade Chronicles X is still an amazing gaming accomplishment. No other game can provide such a huge world to explore, and one that is filled with variety throughout. If you're willing to embark on the lengthy quest that can easily eat up over 100 hours, and can put up with some technical shortcomings, then Xenoblade Chronicles X is worth picking up. Just be ready to grind.
In one word: colosal. A colosal world, a colosal amount of content, a colosal adventure for Wii U.

I don't usually recommend buying a console for a video game, and when I do, the core game has to be so stellar, so addicting, that the thought of not having the console to play it would drive you mad. I didn't say that for Rise of the Tomb Raider. I am, however, saying it for Xenoblade Chronicles X.
Xenoblade Chronicles X is an ambitious game that succeeds on many fronts, but tapping into its greatness requires patience and perseverance.
Xenoblade Chronicles X offers a resplendent world, fantastic combat, and transforming mechs, but figuring out how everything fits together isn't always easy.
Majestic, vibrant, almost peerlessly handsome, Xenoblade Chronicles X is Japanese RPG-making at its most ambitious and determined.
Despite some minor flaws, Xenoblades Chronicles X is a JRPG fan's dream come true.
So enjoyable that I'm going to start it all over again. This is an essential purchase for all Wii U owners who love the JRPG genre.
Xenoblade Chronicles X is epic in scope. Most of the time, it's better for it; other times, it's clear that the developers didn't have a golden thread sewing together all of its various parts.
Xenoblade Chronicles X is an awesome game buried under a mountain of annoyances
Broad and expansive ... and sometimes annoying
Xenoblade Chronicles X has a lot going for it. The incredible world, in-depth combat engine and an amazing soundtrack sets up the foundation for something that could've been an absolute classic. However, due to the missteps in quest design and overall progression, it's a game that can only truly be enjoyed despite itself.
There are moments that make me scratch my head, infuriate me, and even make me cringe, but when I consider the layered mass that is Xenoblade Chronicles X, all I can think of how damn arresting it is. How much of it is there. How much of it is thoroughly enchanting.
Xenoblade Chronicles X is as sprawling, diverse, complex and entrancing as we hoped. It utilises the Wii U's capabilities not only to produce a beautiful world, but shows how something as simple as a map on the GamePad screen can be invaluable. What's most impressive is the dynamism and impression of freedom in play - level caps and grinding are naturally part of the equation, yet they're managed within a structure where even small missions or Affinity quests greatly enhance the narrative and sense of place. To truly experience the story of this human colony and the vast planet Mira requires exploration and patience, and Monolith Soft has found an impressive balance in bringing its vast range of gameplay systems and mechanics together.Occasional bottlenecks are infrequent and easily overcome in the broader experience, and overall Xenoblade Chronicles X delivers a hugely impressive RPG adventure. It's an enormous accomplishment for Monolith Soft and an irresistible part of the Wii U library.
