Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition Review

Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition makes smart updates to the original game while adding a fantastic new epilogue that makes the journey well worth taking a decade later.

In case anyone was wondering, this review doesn't have any major spoilers unlike the IGN review

[antonyow]

Yes. Show IGN how to properly do a review.

Kinda crazy how it feels like the reviewer actually played the game

[ダニエル-xd]

This review was much better than IGN's. It's like night and day. Whatever happened to IGN recently?

[foxmccoy]

I truly hope many, MANY people get this game. It's breathtaking, as is Xenoblade 2 and Torna

[joelskyamf]

[TonyKanameKuran]

Now *THIS* is an excellent review! IGN got *NOTHING* on your review!

[recht_voor_zijn_raap]

You see IGN?

This is how you do a review.
Actually play the game and pronounce the names of characters correctly.

[SirKupoNut]

A much better review than IGN who didn't talk about any of the new features or it seems play the game as they mispronounced most characters.

It would be amazing if we could get The Last Story and Pandora's Tower remakes/remasters on Switch. Two Wii hidden gems.

Gamespot nailed this review.

Better yet with no spoilers. You would think this would be the norm but IGN doesn’t realize this. Just avoid IGN’s review.

That’s cool bro. You got the time spent in the game and all those stats. I like to see that. You definitely qualify for doing a review. Also thanks for explaining some of the added quality of life features. When it comes to remakes and remasters I’m always interested in what those are. IGN needs to better understand how to do a review.

This is probably the most fair review for this game I’ve seen so far

[Diamoondust]

Awesome review! I'm so upset because I preordered the collector's edition from a store where it was stated that it was available and then they gave a bunch of excuses and it basically never was available so now I'll have to go get the default edition :( It's still an incredible game though, can't wait to have time to go pick it up!

[redwindstorm]

I used to follow gamespot religiously during operation rainfall.

[BandedHylian]

I honestly love this game so much lol never played on Wii. My first experience was New 3DS. Finally getting around to playing Definitive on switch and it's like a whole new experience. I'm taking my sweet time and loving it.

What a great review! I was on the fence wether to play the game or not, and this review convinced me to play it

[angrymikko]

Affinity chart wasn’t necessary but it was awesome. To me it showed the connections between people and made them more than quest dispensers.

[jhon]

thank you for a pretty comprehensive review that's under 10 minutes!

Ima review it right now the game starts out a little slow and very cutscene heavy but as soon as your about to put the game down and say wow I wasted 40 dollars BAM you get slapped in the face with a massive event and new skills to use the game goes from zero to 100 real quick after about an hour I had become to indulged in the game I realized I had stayed up all night. The mechanics are easy to use and fun the characters are engaging and feel like they have motivations wants and needs. The story really takes the forefront and gets u involved with the game heavily. The mechanics of switching your parties weapons and armors never gets old and it’s always fun to see just how powerful they can get I’m level 22 now and I have to say I have enjoyed every second 10/10 would buy again.
