In the vast sea of open-world games, Xenoblade Chronicles X emerges as a towering colossus, offering players an unparalleled sense of freedom and exploration. Humanity's quest for a new home on the enigmatic planet Mirror sets the stage for epic battles and significant quality of life improvements. While the game's narrative may falter at times, the engaging combat system and rich character development more than make up for it. The customizable protagonist, though lacking in personality, is offset by a vibrant cast of characters and a plethora of side quests that delve deep into the world of Mirror.
From the moment your ship, the White Whale, crash lands on Mirror, the adventure begins, with players tasked to reunite the scattered remnants of humanity in the city of New Los Angeles. The game's side quests shine, offering insightful world-building and compelling character arcs that explore themes of unity and friendship across different races. As you traverse the diverse landscapes of Mirror, from lush grasslands to fiery lava fields, you'll encounter a myriad of creatures, some peaceful and others hostile, adding a layer of unpredictability to your exploration.
The combat in Xenoblade Chronicles X is a dynamic blend of real-time action and strategic depth, reminiscent of an MMO experience. Quality of life improvements, such as the quick cooldown bar and the ability to change party members on the fly, streamline the gameplay experience and reduce unnecessary grinding. Customization options allow players to experiment with different classes and skills, while battles in mechs called scales provide a thrilling and powerful combat experience. Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition on the Switch elevates the original game to new heights, making it a must-play for both seasoned veterans and newcomers looking to embark on an unforgettable adventure across the vast expanse of Mirror.
