Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Reviews
The underdog in Monolith Soft's Xenoblade Chronicles series has never looked or played better, giving new life to a game that could have been destined to rot in the ill-fated WiiU's library. By boldly refitting its systems and gently touching up the already-beautiful art, along with adding some welcome chunks of all-new content, this Definitive Edition of Xenoblade Chronicles X is essential playing for fans new and old.
Xenoblade Chronicles X hit the market in 2015, so in December Nintendo could celebrate a decade of production. However, the Japanese decided to put the Definitive Edition on the market sooner, and without a doubt it was a really good decision. Not only because of the better graphics and new content, but mainly because of the numerous improvements - it's for them that the title is worth getting interested in.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is much more than a simple port with a simple graphical upgrade. The improvements made in this version address many of the frustrations of the original, making it more accessible without sacrificing its demanding essence. Its grandiose open world, rich combat system, and unique atmosphere make it an unforgettable experience. On the other hand, its high difficulty level, its sometimes laborious quests and its less poignant story than other games in the series, like the excellent Xenoblade Chronicles 3 , could put off some. If you are ready to invest in a titanic adventure, Xenoblade Chronicles X is an epic that deserves your full attention.
