If you have the patience to dive in, learn the lore involved, and communicate with NPC’s on a frequent basis, I would say the story, and the sub stories that surround it, are actually pretty good. In Xenoblade Chronicles X, the story for the most part is adequate. I tend to limit my comments to whether or not the story is bad, good, or adequate. I have never been on to go on and on about a games story, mostly because I do not want Games Reviews to be responsible for any spoilers. Without some real dedication, a lot of gamers might die on the doorstep of this one. Unfortunately, it is the first few – is 5-8 hours considered a few? – hours that really can suck the entertainment and fun out of this title. The game gives you the freedom to express yourself, and in fact, begins the game on a really good note. You can take as long as you want, or as little. While longtime admirers of the Xenoblade franchise might disagree, Chronicles X is far from a perfect game.It’s not bad, mind you, but it’s also not getting Game of the Year credentials, at least not from myself.Ĭustomizing your character isn’t likely to take you as long as the Fallout 4 creation, but there is still a lot to experiment with here. As my game log creeps above and beyond 50 hours – moving onto 75 before the game even launches this week Friday – I feel like I’m playing a game with plenty of peaks interrupted by a few deep valleys. I’ve spent many hours with this game actually, I have probably spent many DAYS with this game. Xenoblade Chronicles X is not “the game” to save the Wii U, but it does have the potential to move a few units this holiday season. In fact, it is the first time in a long while – Mario Kart 8? – that Nintendo fans can boast about anything coming out on the Wii U. It has been a long while since Nintendo fans can boast that their system has a game that the majority of JRPG and western RPG fans will actually want.
