The editors didn't like
Everything takes 100x longer than it should. The writing is subpar. None of the characters are particularly likable
Developer
Mechanics feel overly complicated at times
Character design is very generically anime
Annoying texture and object pop-in bugs
Overly complicated gameplay
Convuluted battle mechanics
Seemingly never-ending side quests
Overpowered enemies
The first half of the story is filled with cliches and bland plot points
Many characters backed by poor voice acting
Poppi's potential as a fully-customizable Blade is squandered by the need to play Tiger Tiger
Common Blades are boring to look at
And
Map/Compass
Resolution portable mode
Side quests
Doesn't address any of the original's issues
Forced sidequests hurt pacing
Story feels like it is focused on a side character
Still not the best looking game due to low resolution
British voices will be divisive
Some obscure or complicated quests that aren't explained well
Unnecessary progression stop gates
Characters talk over each other in combat
Field skills can slow progression
The voice acting makes it difficult to take the game seriously at times
The interchangeable nature of the combat makes the characters feel less unique
The performance is less than stellar more often than I would like
Fantastic soundtrack, Revamped battle engine, Streamlined obtuse and annoying mechanics, Likeable cast of characters and greater insight into the history of Alrest

Torna: The Golden Country makes for a fantastic place to start in the series and an essential play for anyone that enjoyed Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It's been shortened, streamlined, and depending on your preferences, you might find that this DLC expansion...

Abstract: It took me over a month to do, but I finally rolled the credits on Xenoblade Chronicles 2. This is a game that quickly because my most anticipated for the latter half of 2017, even ahead of the stellar Super Mario Odyssey and well polished Fire Emblem Wa...

Considering the kind of year that the Nintendo Switch has had, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 isn't the best of what the platform has to offer, but it does serve as a nice way to close out the console's first year. Chronicles 2 returns to a lot of the same themes...
You could theoretically play Xenoblade Chronicles 2 for months and not only find more things to do, but likely still enjoy doing them. It's a robust, well-crafted, and enjoyably addictive ride that JRPG fans, and even some WRPG diehards, should enjoy...
