Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is, without a doubt, an excellent way to play the previously exclusive Wii U game, which, far from being a bad game, may not be suitable for all types of players.

Whether due to its theme, which differs from traditional RPGs, embracing science fiction more than the fantasy genre, or due to its multiple and unique gameplay, Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition is by far one of the most original and ambitious experiences in the genre to date.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is a generous reissue that proves that not all remasters are created equal. The developers have made numerous improvements that fully justify this re-launch, and the result is impressive. Admittedly, a few minor flaws remain, such as the impossibility of accepting several agreement missions at once, but this remains a minor inconvenience. In short, whether it's a first discovery or a return, like me, the investment is definitely worth it.

Within the splendid Xenoblade series, Chronicles X is still its own title, whose science fiction setting allows for concepts such as Skells that make the whole experience even more distinctive. It's one of the great JRPGs of the last decade, in its definitive version.

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.

However, there aren't so many changes that owners of the Wii U version should necessarily buy again, unless they absolutely love the title. JRPG fans who have so far passed the game by will have an optimal opportunity with "Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition" to immerse themselves in a very good, incredibly atmospheric open-world role-playing game that will easily provide them with 100 hours of fun or more.
