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
Huge game world, with lots to do, Sprawling, eye-catching landscapes, Deep combat system
Mechanics feel overly complicated at times, Character design is very generically anime, Annoying texture and object pop-in bugs
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 for the Nintendo Switch is a massive JRPG you can play at home or on the go, but if you aren't already familiar with the Xenoblade series, its design and scope can be bewildering...
As a long-time fan of the Xeno series, I found Xenoblade Chronicles 2 to be a disappointment. A little balance testing, some reduced system bloat, and a little more effort in presentation could have made it an RPG to remember. If you played Xenoblade Chro...

While it's definitely got its flaws, and it doesn't quite reach the same exceptional standards as its predecessor, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is definitely worth playing. With robust, customizable combat, fun characters and an interesting story, and huge envi...

Abstract: Whether you have already devoured some of the best JRPG games or are not very familiar with the genre, you cannot deny that the popularity of JRPGs is actually insane. Love them or loathe them, JRPGs (Japanese role-playing games) are extremely contentious...
Abstract: Leave a commentWith a story of boundless optimism, dozens of huge, living worlds to investigate and one of the most satisfying battle systems seen in a Japanese roleplaying games in years, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a charming and engrossing long-form adve...
I may not be that far into it, but with ten or so hours under my belt, I'm already finding Xenoblade Chronicles 2 a real treat. It's fun to play and is yet another incredibly well-made Switch game. It's great to play something as wondrously huge on the bu...

Excellent battle system and battle mechanics, A ton of side quests to complete, Open areas are huge, with a ton of exploration to be had, Visually beautiful, especially in docked TV mode,
Story progression feels slow, Overuse of certain voice dialogue lines during battles, Shockingly low handheld resolution,

Abstract: 2017 was an amazing year for games, but for Nintendo, it had been a smashing year. One they were surely hoping for after what happened with the Wii U and its poor acceptance in the market (the Switch has already hit 10 million sales at 9 months, only 5 mi...
