In this edition of GameSpot, we delve into the enigmatic world of Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition. Ah, Xenoblade Chronicles X, the black sheep of the Xenoblade series. It stands out like a sore thumb, doesn't it? This game, the second in the series, made its debut on the Wii U, a console not many got their hands on. But fear not, for Xenoblade Chronicles X brings a fresh take on gameplay mechanics, allowing players to create their own character and explore a vast, stunning world.
What sets Xenoblade Chronicles X apart is its unique structure and gameplay. With a focus on exploration and grinding between story missions, it offers a different experience from its predecessors. The combat system, reminiscent of MMOs, adds a layer of complexity with cooldown meters and strategic move rotations. And let's not forget the multiplayer cooperative missions, a feature that spices up the gameplay and sets it apart from the rest of the series.
But here's the kicker - the mechs, the very essence of Xenoblade Chronicles X, don't make an appearance until you've invested a good 30, 40, or even 50 hours into the game. It's like putting a car on the cover of a racing game and not letting players drive it until they've completed a marathon. An intriguing choice, wouldn't you say? Despite its quirks, Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition offers a fresh perspective on the Xenoblade universe, making it a must-play for fans of the series and newcomers alike.
