I've been playing jrpgs for over 25 years and can honestly say that this game has blown me away. It's hands down the best game I've played for the Switch (including Zelda botw) so far due to its emotional story, stunning art direction, graphics and orchestral soundtrack, with a refreshing cast of...

Brilliantly fun game. Pros: - Easy to pick up, fairly difficult to min/max combat - Interesting characters - Fun Cons: - English voice acting is better than most games / anime but still bad - Hard to explain to the person next to you on the train why the anime girl is wearing a skin tight leotard.

Nintendo's Switch has had a slew of fantastic releases this year, with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey leading the pack, both receiving the highest accolade from Cubed3 and other media worldwide.

A lot of people will look back at 2017 as Nintendo's best year in a long time. I will as well given how great it has been for Nintendo as a publisher and for anyone with a Switch. When it was initia

Massive world to explore; Excellent cast and story; Maybe Mitsuda's best soundtrack; Great voice acting; Combat is improved and a lot of fun

Visual issues; more so in handheld; Navigation gets annoying sometimes

Despite some flaws, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is still a charming, fun and interesting RPG. It's extremely time consuming so take that into account, but it's got a great story that should reward your patience as you get through the game.

While it's definitely got its flaws, and it doesn't quite reach the same exceptional standards as its predecessor, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is definitely worth playing. With robust, customizable combat, fun characters and an interesting story, and huge environments to explore, it's one of the best...

The combat is satisfying; strategic; and customizable to the player's preferred fighting style; The world is huge and interesting to explore; The story is fun and different than its predecessor

The voice acting makes it difficult to take the game seriously at times; The interchangeable nature of the combat makes the characters feel less unique; The performance is less than stellar more often than I would like; The beginning of the game feels restrictive and tutorial-heavy

Very good Jrpg. Good life (80h-90h to finish the main story taking good time) The character design is sublime, the story is great.

I'd be hard pressed to name any console that's had a better software line-up in its first year than the Nintendo Switch. Whether it's been a remarkable new entry in a storied franchise, a fresh IP, or a port of a well-loved classic, Nintendo's spectacular handheld has delivered on all fronts.

Incredible world; Likeable and engaging characters; Involving combat; Layers upon layers of depth

Performance drops; Sexualised character design; Repetitive battle speech

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is every bit as fantastical as you'd hope, an RPG set in a massive world where man and animal live on the backs of tremendous beasts in a sea of clouds. The world of Alrest, simultaneously Earthly and alien, with a mysterious history that even its major players fail to truly...

Large and beautiful environments draw you into Xenoblade 2's natural world; A deep combat system with a high ceiling for expert play; Multi-layered character customization and progression affords you a lot of room for experimentation; The second half of the story is packed with intriguing...

The first half of the story is filled with cliches and bland plot points; Many characters backed by poor voice acting; Poppi's potential as a fully-customizable Blade is squandered by the need to play Tiger Tiger; Common Blades are boring to look at; and difficult to differentiate within menus; No...
