The story here is that the Earth has been destroyed by a hostile alien race, and that the few remaining humans have landed on the remote planet, Mira, and are struggling for survival in a makeshift city made of the remains of their enormous escape ship. It's simply that it does more to create the game's unique setting and vibe than it does to allow for unique, character-driven drama. Is this true?ĭespite the reputation, Xenoblade Chronicles X's story is not that bad. There are probably a lot of misconceptions.Ĭool, because the thing I hear the most about this game is that it has the worst story of any RPG game ever, to the point that playing the game will literally kill you. Especially since it seems like so many people are playing the new Xenoblade game for the Switch, without having any experience with this one. Nice! Are you going to keep up the thing where a theoretical person asks you questions about the game? Wait.have you guys been standing around waiting for a new review since April of 2017? Er.my bad. If I was going to complete an unfinished Wii U game (I've got a few to choose from), it had to be this one.Įven better: I get to resurrect this review site! However, over the last three years, the better parts of Xenoblade Chronicles X's soundtrack kept popping up in my Youtube feed. Unfathomably huge world, complex systems, and a seemingly unlimited time commitment? I blinked out before I was even a third of the way through. Almost immediately, I found the game to be completely overwhelming. I first purchased Xenoblade Chronicles X several years ago, after hearing and enjoying some of its music on Youtube. My first thought upon booting it up again was, ' What Wii U games did I begin and never finish?' The first to come to mind was Xenoblade Chronicles X. However, something happened to me in December of 2018. Thankfully, someone gifted us a second Switch, and as of now, I'm back in the Switch business. Now he cares.and thanks to Christmas, he's got Super Mario Party, and Mario Tennis Aces, too. He's been content to stick with the Wii U.until last month, when Smash Brothers Ultimate was released. I share the Wii U with my son, and for some reason, the Switch didn't strike his fancy. I've had a Switch for nearly two years, and outside of last month, I haven't touched the Wii U in that span of time. Released on the Wii U, December 4, 2015, by Nintendo, and developed by Monolith Soft
