I'm a longtime gamer but real life has sort of taken over so I don't game as much as I used to. With that said, the quality of games nowadays isn't really on par with the older stuff so coupled with the time constraints, I don't feel as compelled to play. This game changed that. I find myself going back to it every chance I get. The story is great thus far, the characters are really likeable, and the combat is complex and interesting. Highly recommended!

This game doesn't require having played Xenoblade Chronicles 1 or X as it is a different place and time. The gameplay is more reminiscent of 1, while the world feels as epic and awe inspiring as X did. The Blade/Driver mechanic has almost a Pokemon feel to it, as you try to find rare ones and use their strengths against your enemy's weaknesses. This is a huge, beautiful game that you can take on the go. If you enjoy JRPG's at all, you should snag this.

This game offers many vast areas to explore with very pretty visuals along with many complex mechanics for battles, exploration, and character progression. There's a ton of content, this game takes a quite a long time to complete, but there's enough quality every step of way to make it feel fun most of the time. The music is also excellent so the long adventure doesn't get stale.

This game is top tier for the Nintendo Switch. Great graphics and music along with a decent story and fun characters. Performance has some issues but it's totally playable. If you are interested don't hesitate and get Xenoblade 2!

Never got into a JRPG much prior to this game. In fact I have never picked up a xenoblade series game prior to this either. With both of those things said, this game grabbed me very quickly into the game. I got addicted trying to pull rare blades and upgrading affinity charts. Easy time burner just watching the amazing story play out as you go through the game.

If you've enjoyed previous Xenoblade games you'll enjoy this one. However, it doesn't feel like much has changed overall, so if you are looking for something completely new or lots of changes this probably isn't for you. Also if you haven't liked previous Xenoblades you probably won't like this either. It has beautiful music throughout. A fun experience throughout exploring and collecting new blades.

Xenoblade Chroncles 2 rounds out the Nintendo Switch's stellar first year, and while there is certainly fun to be had here in this deep and rewarding RPG, there are little nitpicks that are soon to be addressed in a patch rolling out in the beginning of 2018. Map and inventory shortcuts, performance updates, maybe even some new dialogue packs make this game as it currently not the best form of itself. So give it a month; you probably have plenty to play on Switch right now anyway.

This game is just BEAUTIFUL! Yes the combat system is different but it doesn’t mean you won’t understand it, there are tutorials in the beginning (and throughout the game) just like any other game. It definitely my favorite game to play on the switch and it can easily be played on handheld, definitely give it a try!

It's a really pretty game that I'd suggest playing on a 1080p TV. This JRPG allows you to control up to 3 companions (but you can have more following you) so You'll need to strategize how you are going to play the game. The story itself is good with cheesy, typical dialouge but It's a good game overall.

The graphics are great, the story is great, and the gameplay unfolds slowly to allow you to get a grasp on it as you go. The battle system is complex but accessible which is a feat in itself. This really shows the technical prowess of the devs and shows what is possible on the Switch, so far at least.

As far as JRPGs go, this game hits a lot of familiar notes. I was worried the combat would be overwhelming, but ended up being very fun to learn and master. This is a LONG game and well worth the journey. Plenty of memorable characters and moments with a fantastic story to contain it all.

Cliche JRPG with many anime tropes if you enjoy that sort of thing you will enjoy the story and characters if not then you might get a little annoyed. Gameplay is fantastic the battles have multiple layers difficult battles can really be challenging.

If you're a fan of classic japanese RPG games then you'll definitely enjoy Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Great story, great characters, a deep combat system and great open areas. You'll easily get up to a minimum of 80 hours of gameplay from this game if you intend to finish it.

I had never played an entry in this series before this one. I picked this up because I used to be a fan of the Final Fantasy series back in the day. I just had an itch to play an rpg and figured I’d give this one a shot. I’ve been pleasantly surprised.
The story is convoluted but engaging. The combat is confusing at first but stick with it and it opens up into something much more interesting than it first appears.
My only knock against this game is the voice acting. It’s horrid. Not bad enough to detract from the overall experience.
I highly recommend this title.

- Great Story.
- Gameplay takes getting used to. But once you do, your doing damage in the 100,000's.
- Exploration is now more Tall based.
- Characters have plot.
I played over 60hours, and I'm still just halfway done with the story.

I have played the last two Xenoblades (Chronicles 1 and X) and this one took the series to another level.
The positives:
- Beautiful maps
- Deep gameplay
- Story is superb
- Unique enemies
- It’s portable!
The negative:
- English voices are terrible.
- Slight slowdown when many enemies on screen
Overall, if you want a deep customization battle system with a great story, this is the game for you. This game will be worth the money since the replayability is extensive if you want to eventually conquer the high level enemies.

Great JRPG with a worthy follow up to the previous titles. Titles like this show why the switch has so much momentum, this is a great experience and you can play anywhere! Please buy, please support the developers. The more we do, the more support the switch will get and the gamers will win.

I was a huge fan of the original Xenoblade Chronicles, and this one lived up to the expectations set by the first. Gorgeous world, amazing music, and a fun combat system. Definitely plan on sinking 100+ hours into this one.
