Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Expansion Pass - Nintendo Switch [Digital]

Amazing game, incredible value, a must have for any fans of the series +10/10

Note: This expansion pass is for people who already own Xenoblade 2 and want to purchase the Torna DLC campaign, along with other assorted bits of content like the Shulk and Fiora encounters. Nintendo marketed this DLC really strangely, but that's what you'll get if you buy this. I mainly purchased this for Torna, and the 30-hour prequel campaign was really good. I liked it better than the base game, primarily because it respects the player's time a LOT more, and the story and characters were significantly more enjoyable. Torna streamlines and simplifies a lot of the bloated features that, in my opinion, weighed Xenoblade 2 down. The inventory is simpler, you don't have to manage every shop in the world yourself, and there are only 3 playable characters with no "rolling" for random Blades. This cuts down on the clutter and busywork that took up about 30% of Xenoblade 2's playtime. It just feels so much better to battle and explore without getting bogged down in those horrible menus. The story is still not amazing, but it wasn't actively bad in the ways I felt Xenoblade 2 could sometimes be. A lot of the uncomfortable anime tropes are played down in favor of the characters speaking and acting like normal people. The distinct lack of catgirls and maids was a major improvement. Also the jazz-inspired music is phenomenal. Overall I think Torna was a great update to Xenoblade 2 and it's the portion of the game I'll be playing if I ever decide to revisit it.

I originally played xenoblade 2 when it released a couple years ago. After playing xenoblade 3 (i did not enjoy it), i decided to go back to 2 and get the dlc. Theres a ton of added missions, some added blades and the added story mode of torna. Im still workjng through the main campaign, but it feels much more difficult than i remember. I remember referring to the game as 'comfy' when it first came out, now im having to really focus on my blades and combos to beat the bosses and unique monsters. No complaints, just feels different than my first playthrough. I do feel the dlc has made the game feel fresh, allowing me to play with a new roster and abilities. Gave it a 4 out of 5 primarily because the price hasnt changed even though its 18 months old and the 3rd game is out. Definitely worth a pickup if you are going for a second playthrough.

This is DLC done right. It comes with its own game to expand on the story to some of the other characters in the game. It also adds comes with a lot of extra goodies. for the main game, and if you get it before you start the game it really helps you get started with some extra money and items

Is a must when you own the full game, adds new features and blades, as well as a stand alone game that gives background to the game
