Customer Ratings & Reviews

The world of Xenoblade Chronicles X is a vast land full of danger and wonder in which you set out to ensure humanity's future. The exploration, customization, soundtrack, sidequests, and combat are all top notch. This rerelease also includes extra content that expands on the story and characters of the original to create a more memorable experience.

I never got to play the original game on Wii U, but I enjoyed every second of experiencing this game + the new content in the epilogue. The new characters feel naturally added too and not forced in for new content. One minor complaint I have is that some VAs didn't return for the English dub (specifically Vandahm's) and its very off putting to hear such a different voice coming from him in the new content.

Game is massive. The world is vast and has a ton of content. Im only 16 hours in and barely scratched the surface of what this game has to offer. It looks incredible on Switch. Very impressive game. Highly recommend if you want a fun sci-fi JRPG adventure. This game has hours upon hours of content.

I have only played about 4 hours yet. So this isn't a complete review in a way at this point. The story is pre-dating the time from the previous Xenoblade Chronicle ones, and that way it explains the beginning of the series. The graphics are - as with the other Xeboblade games looking great, and the story is so far nice. Interesting to see how this continues! The control in a fight is similar to the other games, as well as the highlighting of the characters in the game with levels. One thing which I like is that in case you didn't get to the next story point and you die, your character goes back to the recent check point, however - you apparently do not have to re-do all the things you have done to that point.

Absolutely phenomenal game. I got this for my friend and a Nintendo switch online card. We did a ton of online missions together and I shared my character with him and helped boost him up. The game itself has a very strong story and is open world. A lot of it is told in side content so if you only do the main story it will feel different. The game also gates the overdrive mechanic fr 1/4th of the way through the game, the skells(mechs) until about halfway through the game, and then adds flying about 3/4ths of the way through. All of these radically change the game feel. I could go on forever but the game is complex, rewarding, and has elements of incremental progression games.

I'm going to keep this short. This is a one of a kind open world JRPG that originally came out 10 years ago on the Wii U. After so many years, it still has one of the most breath taking open worlds to date, and we're finally able to experience it with updated visuals. The rerelease also comes with a number of welcome quality of life changes that tone down the level grind and gear crafting. Unfortunately, the new epilogue that was added wasn't that great. Hard to talk about it without spoiling anything. Just know that it won't answer every little mystery that was setup from the original story. A good chunk of it also felt like one big low budget filler episode in an anime show. 10 years and this is all they could muster up? Yea, I was pretty disappointed to be honest. Nonetheless, there's still a lot to love about this game. Like, did I mention there's giant mechs in this game? Buy this now if that's your thing.

Great game!!! Don't expect a heavily story driven game like the other Xenoblade games. That being said, the exploration, world building and combat is some of the best in the series.

Features a Stand alone story. A good place to start playing the Xeno games from Monolith. Same basic team that made games from all the way back to Final Fantasy 3(6), to Xenogears, Xenosaga, and now Xenoblade. This game features improved graphics, load times, all new content, and improved gameplay that streamlines the experience. The definitive experience easily. This game shows what a good development team with experience in their craft as well as together as a team can do. A top notch game in every way. Be aware that the mechs in the game you see arent going to be free to use for a while. thats pretty typical of RPGs though.

Xenoblade X is a game I’ve been wanting to play for a while, and with the Definitive Edition coming out on Switch recently I’m finally getting a chance to. So far (around 15-20 hours in) the game hasn’t “hooked” me the same way that Xenoblade 1, 2, and 3 did, but the gameplay is more interesting than 1’s. The world of Mira is very pretty to look at and once I’ve got a Skell I’m sure it will be even more fun to explore. Reviewing this based on my pre-order experience is also 5 Stars, though I did do in-store pickup so there was less chance of something somewhere being messed up.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is one of the best modern displays of an open world. While it's story is often lacking, it more than makes up for it with fairly good side quests, and exploration nearly unparalleled. The combat is intricate having many options to choose from in terms of play style. You can make every weapon type in the game work solidly if you know what you're doing. And there is plenty of build opportunities to explore among the 12 base weapons types as well as the secret 13th. Ultimately I've put in well over 100 hours into Xenoblade X Definitive Edition. And while I personally would call it the weakest in the series, being the weakest game in one of the best game series out there is by no means an insult. If exploration and side content are your thing, Mira is 100% the place to go. With 5 very expansive continents hosting hundreds of quests and interesting things to find, you'll have no shortage of adventure. Add to that the brilliant Skell system and eventual flight, and you get my personal favorite open world exploration experience. I would 100% recommend this game to lovers of adventure and side content. If story is more your thing, I'd still say give this game a shot. But you can not ignore the side content. It's what really adds weight and connection to the characters that adds any real impact to the plot. If you don't feel like doing that. I'd advise you check out one of the other Xenoblade games! As they all have rich stories with messages that can truly change you if you're open to it. Overall, for me personally Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is a 5/5! And I would very much recommend it.

This game is a technical marvel. I cannot believe how well it runs and how great it looks on the original Switch. The gameplay and story are engrossing, and there is SO much to do. I am already over 80 hours into my playthrough and I have barely scratched the surface of all this masterpiece has to offer. If you're already a fan of the series or are looking to jump in, this is a great place to start. Do not miss this one!

This game is a must have for anyone thats a fan of Xenoblade or RPG's in general! It has an incredibly diverse and deep combat system with loads of customization from personal abilities to team composition. The story is fantastic, awesome scenery and side stories that genuinley had me smiling. Well worth the time and energy to get through a pretty lengthy RPG, plus it has giant robots.

Aside from the fact that the level scaling is ridiculous and the game takes close to 30 hours to START is crazy. But once you get access to Skells, the game world really starts to feel like it opened up. INSANELY massive open world, tons of character customization, tons of mech customization, only marred by endless fetch quests and material gathering nonsense.

If your looking to get lost in a massive world, this is it. This game will suck your life away and you won't even know it. The battle system is engaging and fun, the world is vast, the quests are a plenty, and the content is plentiful. In a world of uncertainty, this game can certainly help you escape from reality for quite a while.

Being able to explore the planet mira on the switch is quite the experience. Theres so much to explore and comes with so much content and then some with the remaster. Do not miss out on one of the best rpgs on the switch.

Huge MMO like single player experience with a beautiful world filled with amazing creatures and a vast land to explore. The story is also fascinating with the only downside being that the character that you create is silent with not much voiced dialogue. This is a solid 9 out of 10 in my opinion.

It's fundamentally the same game from the Wii U but with some QOL updates and a bit of new content. They updated the art style for the human characters to more closely align with the art style from XBC2, XBC3 & XBCDE. The UI has been updated by making text larger, & thus easier to read, as well as altering the arts menu in battle to make it easier to determine which arts you should use. Online has been altered to make it easier to gather materials. 3 new party members have been added to the game, one of which was an NPC in the original version, along with a new model of Skell (the in-game mech suits you gain the use after a certain point in the story). There has also been a new chapter added to the story after the original ending. If you enjoyed the other Xenoblade games, or JRPGs in general, you'll enjoy this game. It's a great game that had been stuck on a poorly selling console (Wii U) that failed due to bad marketing and consumer misunderstanding. It's now free to get the audience it deserved on a successful console.

An epic sci-fi action adventure that's often overlooked by the core Xenoblade games. THE GOOD -No download required. -Vastly improved visuals compared to Wii U. -Lots of QOL updates. -New story segments not available in the Wii U version. -Easily over 70hrs of gameplay.

Another fantastic Xenoblade game on Switch. Some of the best visuals on the console and one of the best designed open worlds ever. I’d say it’s a great swansong for the switch but goodness there’s a lot of stuff still coming to it.

I played this game on the Wii U and I wasnt a kid when I played it then. Now all these years later I'm playing it on the switch. The graphics are improved and the game screen layout makes it much easier to play. This is an awesome game with many hours of fun game play.
