Customer Ratings & Reviews

If there is even a doubt about how good the Switch has been year one, just pick up Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Nintendo's final BIG game of 2017. It compliments the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild's more Western influenced open world with one that fans of Japanese designed open worlds will love equally as much. The art style is gorgeous, combat is satisfying, there's a ton of content (get ready for more than 100 hours) and it's impeccably designed.

So I had no idea what this game was, other than a JRPG. I'd compare this to like early Final Fantasy games. You won't be impressed by the graphics, but this ends up working out as the world is SUPER vast and load screens/fast travels are super fast. It's like it's own little movie, so be prepared to watch numerous short and long cutscenes (there are PLENTY). There is a lot to learn about gameplay, and a lot of learning at the beginning, but it all plays a part in success. I'm easily 50 hours into this game and am probably halfway (not focusing mainly on storyline). Great game if you appreciate these kind of games.

Although Zelda and Mario was a big reason as to why I bought a Nintendo Switch, the release of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 sealed the deal for me. I was waiting until a solid RPG would be out for the system so I have something to sink my time into after the inevitable completion of Zelda and Mario. It’s been great so far. Story is keeping my attention, as well as the combat mechanics and there is much to do. Btw Nier: Automata is GOTY

Great and amazing game. I've put at least 50hrs+ on the game already. I love that is open world game.

This game is probably the best one in the series yet. It does take a while for the story to take off (mainly from tons of side quests), but once to starts going you get sucked into it. There are a lot of gaming mechanics that I never took advantage of. Overall this is a fantastic game.

The Switch isn't necessarily the most powerful console out there, but I'm surprised at how lovely this game looks. It also plays really well. If you're a fan of the JPRG genre, definitely give this game a try.

I have put probably 200 hours into BOTW and it was amazing. But this is better! Battles are engaging, there are tons of things going on to manage. It's so fun. Don't let reviews dissuade you when they complain of too much auto attacking. Once you get a few hours into this (very long) game, you will be busy managing all kinds of things during battle. I love the story, I love the characters. Buy it, well worth the money!

Got this as a gift. Been enjoying the story and combat. Collecting Blades is my favorite part.

This is now the 3rd game in this excellent JRPG series. The plot and such are all new so playing the previous games is not required to know whats going on here. The combat system is greatly improved and simplified. The story is strong and the game eases you into the many systems so its not overwhelming. All in all a great entry and it took till year 3 to get Xeno on WiiU so awesome we get it on Switch in year one..

It's like... a good game bruh. It gets a lil asian in between there but that's okay, that's culture. The game plays great, feels great, runs great, it's just great If you are like... man.. I don't like like good games that are rpgs and have asians in them, this isn't for you. But if you are like, yes, I wanna be a dude that plays good games that are rpgs and have asians in them... then this is it my friend.

My cousin told me he loved this game. I didn’t believe him and brought it. Now I have no life besides playing this game. Seriously this series is the best and the English and Japanese voices are both amazing. I switch between audios because they are done so well! The story is engaging and compelling. Must have for any Switch owner.

The game is awesome with great graphics and interactive story line. Very engaging!

This game is great for rpg fans. gameplay, graphics, and story are all great

I played the first XC game just about a month prior to the release of XC: 2 and I found it to be an amazing game and only hyped me up for the release of this game. Coming into the game, I knew that it was going to be different, but the difference is amazing in its own right. The connection to the first game only solidifies my opinion of this game and would highly recommend it.

This is a really fun game. Huge worlds to explore and an engaging story.

A satisfying RPG in which story, combat, and exploration all deliver.

One of the best rpgs for the switch, combat is unique, and the world is worth exploring.

I've always wanted to dive into the world of Xenoblade, but never gave either Chronicles or X the chance. When Xenoblade 2 was announced for the Switch, I decided to go all in and see what I was missing. So far, I'm having a good time. Characters are pretty unique and there's a lot to play around with in regards to the combat system; which ultimately make or break the game for new players, but so far, I'm fine with it. I can tell most of my time will be spent exploring vast lands as they seem to go on for miles. The scaling is unbelievable! The inclusion of Japanese audio definitely opened me up to the game more, but I did myself struggling to choose between English and Japanese audio from voice comparison videos. It's a good start and I'm eager to find new blades/upgrades that will better my gameplay style.

If you're looking for an original and innovative RPG for the Switch, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is your game. You'll easily tackle 60+ hours of gameplay filled with enjoyable and strategic combat, myriad quests, and a sublime soundtrack. Gameplay has improved from the original Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles X to see the finest iteration in the series.

Really enjoy playing this game. Great story line and great graphics.
