Customer Ratings & Reviews

The combat is very much similar to Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii (or 3DS, if you got the port.) The art is a bit different, though, taking on a little bit more of the cartoon feel. That doesn't detract from the depth of the story, though. It's still a fun game to play, with interesting characters that you would expect from an RPG of this nature. Some of the voice acting is a little...grating, but that can be said for many RPGs with a mix of...unique characters. Overall a fun game with interesting combat mechanics. (The combat starts off a bit slow, but it picks up. I guess to ease the player into the different style of gameplay.) Two thumbs up!

No lie, this is what I was hoping for out of Final Fantasy XV. Game has tons to do pretty much all the time, lots of interesting story and background/history, incredible setting, and really enjoyable music.

I've been a fan of the Xenoblade Chronicles series for quite some time and enjoyed both the original on the Wii, Xenoblade Chronicles X for the Wii U, and the 3DS version of the first game. I was excited to play the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 since its announcement and I'm glad that the feel of the original is well captured in this sequel more than it was with X, despite the more fully anime character designs. The visuals and gameplay are pretty solid and like the other games in the franchise, there's a bunch to do along with a variety of Blades to gather as you make up any party you please along with how to level grind. I'd totally recommend this for Switch owners, especially those looking for an RPG or JRPG.

This game is amazing. The combat starts out simple but then it really pulls you in. The voice acting is a little lame but it’s still a ton of fun. You could put 100 hours into this game easy.

I really like this game more than I thought I would. I like getting the rare blades and the story is good. The map is weird though. I have had to look up how to get to some areas because it isn't clear where I'm supposed to go. The battle system has auto attack while your artes charge. You can combo with other party members based on your specials. Healing was weird for me at first. You don't have a menu to go into during battle to heal. You have certain artes that will heal or generate potions. USE THE POUCHES! I forget to use my pouch a lot, but you can put different items in the pouches to help during battles.

I have really enjoyed my time with Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It has a decent story and characters that kept me interested. The combat is truly where the game shines. It may start off slow but as you gain knowledge and mastery over the combat system it really opens up the game. The portable mode does suffer resolution wise but the game still works. There is a lot to do in this game and you can definitely get your moneys worth out of it.

So, I have not had the opportunity to play games in a while, since I was in my late 20s, close to 40 now, and I got my switch. Got this game and it is the best decision ever!!! Love the movies, love the action, even though I feel stuck, and wish there was a strategy guide. You play as Rex, a salvager that dives into the cloud sea to get old relics and stuff to send money back to his family. You become a driver with a blade. Basically you are hunting monsters gaining exp and trying to get back to the old world where there was peace and not war. Totally fun game with great graphics and not to hard to control the controls of the switch.

Fanciful, challenging, and fun to play; although the map is not as useful as in other games and finding a solution sometimes takes a lot longer than my tolerance wants to give.

Pretty standard JRPG. Very time consuming but fun all around if you like JRPG’s. Story is good but nothing crazy special. A lot of super long cutscenes though, and I’m talking like hours upon hours of cutscenes through out the whole main story. Still enjoyed it.

I'm about 20 hours into this game and it's amazing. From what I've read, it gets even better. What makes this a good game? Jeez, where to begin. The characters are endearing and the plot is reasonably good. The whole scale of the game is epic, it's like playing a single-player MMORPG, and one that doesn't suck. Battle system and overall gameplay is awesome, lots of interesting things to interact with, and enemy engagement does not feel annoying or overly-repetitive. Battle combos and leveling system is satisfying. It has the right level of complexity-- not too simple (i.e. not reduced to mere button mashing), but not too complex either. The voice acting is surprisingly decent. The visuals are gorgeous (even in handheld mode, you will read a lot about how the resolution drops but I never found that to be a problem). The sheer breadth of the game is incredible. You will get TONS of value from this game, it's not something you will beat and toss aside in a matter of a week (*cough* Odyssey *cough*). Overall, I would definitely place this up there right next to Breath of the Wild, and in some ways it's actually better. I hope that the Square Enix pays attention to what Monolith Soft has achieved with this game, because in my opinion the FF7 Remake should look/play a lot like how this game plays, in terms of battle system, world interaction, character development, everything. Overall rating: 9.5 / 10.

When it comes to the Xenoblade franchise you mostly know what you’re getting yourself into. This game’s story is rock solid, better than 1 and X in my opinion. Game playand combat is fun, exploring is a treat. I highly recommend!

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is strange, but enjoyable. It has really interesting mechanics and a very interesting world, very unlike any game I'm used to. I've barely scratched the surface and I'm always excited to get home and continue playing. The combat is not as painfully boring as it looks when watching it on youtube, playing it for yourself is much more enjoyable. I highly recommend you try this game out if you are on the fence, and give it a few hours to start unlocking more and more new components to the combat system.

Wouldn't recommend outside of the core JRPG fanbase, but those that love the genre are in for an incredible experience. A bit of a learning curve at first and easier to learn due to trial and error vs tutorials.

So, after roughly 50-60 hours of the game I just started entered chapter 6 (I’ve been told there are ten chapters). The combat can be a bit tedious on fighting regular monsters but the depth and complexity are perfect for a game of this magnitude. The story is great and offers some surprisingly amount of contemplation about humanity and our nature, or just a fun story if you decide to just go with it and not put any thought into it beyond itself. Overall a great addition to the Switch and highly recommended.

Love the game so far, the graphics and voice actors are definitely a plus. Prepare in advance as you will be investing many hours into this game! **A quick warning for parents purchasing Switch games for their children this holiday season. The play style of this game is a little advance and I probably wouldn't recommend it for kids under 10, Not to mention there is foul language from time to time. If those don't come off as a problem, then I can definitely recommend this game to anyone's Switch collection!

I really love this game, pure GRP action, its really good and the graphics are amazing, the story is excellent and very fast game

I have only played it a short time but so far I am enjoying it. The graphics are good, battle system is good, and all a good game the only problem is the English voice overs are not really good.

Bought this game about 2 weeks ago... It's my first time with this series. I've poured about 10 hours into it. I wish I could play more, but my girlfriend has poured about 30 into it in the same time frame. We both adore the game. It has its anime moments, so be prepared for that. It's done in a lighthearted manner that doesn't detract from the gameplay. The gameplay itself starts off just okay; there's a lot of depth to be found overall, and a lot of beautiful environments that I didn't think the Switch could handle. Occasional dips in frame rate, but mostly in handheld mode and in very busy environments. Do not let the lack of familiarity scare you, it takes time to get acquainted, but honestly, I like this game as much as Splatoon 2/Zelda/Mario, and I love all those games. Also, a final note: I love the voice acting. It's not perfect, but it just caught me off guard. It's not a perfect game, but it's excellent in what it offers. If you're looking for a game to play after the well-known games- this one at the LEAST will hold you over until the next major release.

This game has it all. Great story, great graphics and amazing Battle system! Don't miss this amazing experience!

I felt that the game held an enjoyable story line. The game goes very in-depth about the characters and their backstories, giving the player a more personal experience. The graphics are unlike others I've seen, it's easy to be compared to a television show, or animated film because of the great quality. I feel that it's incredibly creative that the player and the cities live on a monstrous beast called a titan, it adds a special element to the game.
