Customer Ratings & Reviews

I never played the first Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii/Wii U so I didnt know what to expect. A few friends talked about it to me and I saw gameplay trailers that really caught my attention so I figured itd be the first game I buy when I got my own switch. I was not disappointed with my purchase. Combat-wise the game reminded me of Final Fantasy XIV with the auto-attack and you control when to use skills/arts/etc. When you finally see the open-world, you'll notice that there's A LOT of high leveled monsters that roam about and its extremely easy to get targeted by them. Especially when you're trying to get somewhere or trying to complete a side quest. Apparently it's supposed to be like that but I can't help but think the developer is a sadist. Still I've been really enjoying it. Story-wise, it's been good so far. I'm currently on chapter 4 which isnt very far. I'm still learning my way around in the game but so far it's been enjoyable. I'd definitely recommend it for someone who's a bit experienced in JRPGs but not sure for someone new to these types of games. One of my friends who isnt big on JRPGs enjoyed it and finished both the main game and the prequel so hit or miss for people new to JRPGs. Definitely a game that needs to be played though if JRPGs is your thing.

Long awaited sequel, beautiful and fun for Xenoblade fans

Never played a Xenoblade before but love rpg’s... this game is amazing. This is a great game if your looking for something to play that will last you awhile

There is a ridiculous amount of content and a fantastic battle system backed up by amazing music and interesting characters. Well worth any JRPG fan's time.

If you've enjoyed games such as Breath of the Wild or Skyrim, and you aren't afraid of having to put in work towards completion, this game fits the bill. Battles are challenging and require learning multiple mechanics such as various combos. The story is supplemented with decent cutscenes only degraded by the unsynchronized lip-sync of the characters (Speech is English dub) .

I got hooked on this game quick. The first 10 hours were pretty slow but once it picks up boy it's amazing. The game is so much fun and so much to do.

This game is hands down one of the best games on the Switch. Everyone says you won’t know if you love it until you get your hands on it. Some people don’t like the combat system... I was a little concerned if I would too, but ever since I bought it... I haven’t been able to put the controller down. Beautiful game. Rich story. Character development is like a anime.

If you've played Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii you must buy this game, and if you haven't then i highly recommend it. All Switch owners need to buy it.

One of my favorites for the Switch up to this point. Expansive environment with a great deal of complexity while keeping the primary gameplay simple.

Great game. A ton of content. Combat is fun but gets a little repetitive. Voice acting is good, sometimes a little corny but it’s meant to be. Excellent graphics and good story line. Great new addition to the xenoblade universe.

Xenoblade as a series is just amazing. if you're a switch owner, and enjoy RPGs, do not miss this one!

My only real issue with this game is it feels a bit rushed on the technical side. It could've used more polish and optimization. It's not unplayable levels by any means but the graphics resolution does dip to pretty low levels... especially in handheld mode and framerates do drop. It results in a very muddy and blurry picture at times. That said, beyond that the game is really good. A lot of stuff to do, tons of depth, the art is fantastic an you can choose between English and Japanese voice overs. It's not a game for everyone but JRPG will love it.

The game is great but it is not perfect. Will be appreciated by those who love JRPGs and Anime. Battle System is amazing but also very nuanced and deep. Recommend for those who are looking for a meaty RPG to play on the Switch.

This is my first time playing a Xenoblade Chronicles game and I am greatly impressed! I enjoyed the battle mechanics and story aspect of the game.

I love Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and one of the most amazing deep storylines of any rpg. Tons of quests and memorable environments and characters. Monolith Soft hands down one of my new favorite rpg companies.

This game is very deep with a compelling story line that keeps players wanting more. Fun game that is designed a little more for advanced gamers.

While Xenoblade Chronicles two might not be as good as its previous entry, it still remains a worthy sequel to the original and is certainly better then Xenoblade X. If you enjoy the other two games then you will enjoy this.

Was looking for another great game to play so I purchased this game and couldn’t be more happy.

The story is fantastic, if you like JRPGs don't miss out on this one, there is no need to play any of the other Xenoblade games before this one.

I just finished the game and had to give my quick thoughts. To preface, I only got 15 or so hours into XC1 and XCX before hanging up the towel. I just couldn't do it. They were fine, but just weren't my thing. This game has had me glued to the screen for just over 100 hours of play before I beat it and I loved almost every minute of it. The combat is deep, addictive, and extremely satisfying, especially when you finally pull off a big full burst chain attack that does like 2 million damage. I say the combat is deep, not complex, because with each new bit of new combat ability, it adds to the existing combat in a way that feels natural and progressive and is the best part of the game. The visuals are stunning and handheld mode honestly isn't bad at all. I quite liked the story (hate that people who haven't finished the game are rating the story), though it has some pitfalls in the execution in the form of voice acting syncing poorly with mouth movement sometimes and a lot of stereotypical anime tropes, but once you start experiencing the story for what it is you start dismissing or forgetting entirely about those. I haven't had this much fun with a JRPG since Persona 5 and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get lost in a beautiful world, a great story, and thrilling combat
