Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Reviews
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 doesn't disappoint expectations: endowed with a massive longevity, characterized by a living and fascinating world and conducted on the wings of a narration with fabulous, exciting tones, the latest born in Monolith Soft house is an unmissable JRPG. Despite some technical hesitation and certain little edges in the gameplay it's impossible to remain indifferent to a job of such scale and quality.

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.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is an outstanding title to finish out the Switch's first year on the market, and it's a must-have title if you're a fan of RPGs and own the system.
To the delight of many, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is less X and more traditional Xenoblade. Although they all have a special place in my library, I appreciate the return to what brought Monolith Soft back into the public eye after a series of portable games.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is the latest great exclusive for Nintendo Switch; a huge, deep Japanese RPG, which sometimes feels "too generic". We love the titan made world and its complex battle system, but sometimes we lose track of the main story.

Byzantine battle systems and sluggish pacing will keep the mainstream at bay, but an epic adventure awaits serious Japanese RPG players
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a delightful and fantastic JRPG experience. A long story full of adventure, character, charm, and whimsy will keep you playing for dozens of hours without breaking a sweat.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is the biggest game on Nintendo Switch, which lacks polishing of individual elements. Nevertheless, thanks to the unique world, the best combat system in the series, beautiful music, great characters and spectacular vistas - it's really difficult to stop playing and enjoying. Even in spite of some strangeness, gameplay limitations and excessive anime vibes, we spent about 150 hours in Xenoblade 2 and look forward to the new game Monolith Soft.

It's been an extremely long time since I've played an RPG that's scratched an adventure itch in a classic sense.
You may gnash your teeth and hang your head but Xenoblade Chronicles 2 will earn your love all the same.
Nintendo Switch can finally boast a great JRPG within its remarkable roster. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a game that every fan of the genre should play. There are some minor flaws, such as the great chaos ensuing during some battles, but the combat system is deep and rewarding, and the story and the characters are great. Well done, Monolith Soft, well done.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is an essential JRPG for fans of the genre. If you own a Switch and have enjoyed JRPGs in the past, then you should get it, absolutely. In a year which had games like Tales of Berseria and Persona 5, it just might be the best JRPG of 2017, and that's saying something.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a great game to finish off the Switch's stellar first year, and offers a massive adventure that will scratch the itch felt by both MMO and JRPG fans.
We've had Breath of the Wild, we got Skyrim, and Disgaea 5, but for many JRPG fans, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 will be the first really exciting release on the Switch. And I'm here to say that it's been worth the wait for the follow up to the Wii's original classic.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is flawed, as tragically as the heroes and villains it portrays.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 features plenty of elements that will marvel the players and fans, including an immense amount of content, an enormous lifespan and exquisite visuals and soundtrack. Not all is perfect, though, as the interface really needs to be more user-friendly and the game takes long from the beginning until it becomes more compelling to play, issues that should be solved in the near future with downloadable updates.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a game that sticks to a certain JRPG style and its own formula almost to a fault. It actually reminds me of the countless hours I've spent journeying through JRPG after JRPG on multiple console generations during the genre's Golden Age. At the same time, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 isn't the easiest game to pick up. At a time when many people want instant gratification or don't have the time to spend on a chunky JRPG, Xenoblade Chronicles 2's mechanics can frustrate and overwhelm. If you give it a shot, though, chances are, you just might find something that surprisingly suits your taste. It isn't for everybody. For those that end up liking it, however, it's a unique dish that hits the spot in a way that other delicacies do not.
Touching, beautiful and varied JRPG, that develops to a top hit after a difficult start.

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.
This highly anticipated sequel to Xenoblade Chronicles is one of the most overindulgent games of the year.
