Available exclusively on Nintendo Switch on December 1 The has had a fantastic opening year. In less than 12 months we've seen several potential masterpieces grace the system, including and . This streak is almost unimaginable, showing a company that's back on form and ready to make gaming history.
Huge and beautiful world; Deep yet accessible combat; Plenty of stuff to do; Nia is bloody lush; Amazing soundtrack
Easy to be overwhelmed in the opening hours; Inconsistent localisation; Performance problems in certain areas
In some ways a backwards step from its immediate predecessor, but this is still a fascinatingly complex Japanese role-player with the best open world since Breath Of The Wild.
A huge game world, filled with secrets; Deep combat systems and customisation gives plenty for role-players to get their teeth into; Some great creature designs
The storytelling and dialogue is weak, and full of anime cliché; Hands-off combat often lacks impact, especially in minor fights; Overly complex interface and unhelpful tutorials
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 goes back to its roots and builds on the 2011 Wii original. It may not be perfect but it's a great game that will see you through Christmas, the New Year and well into 2018.
Massive game; Deep RPG system; Lovely anime style to main characters; Incredible musical score
Some terrible voice acting; Might be initially off putting to some; Undocked mode takes quite a hit
It's time to depart in search of Elysium. It's a journey, a new (capless) odyssey, and it's one that you simply shouldn't miss on your Nintendo Switch. After receiving universal acclaim with the series' last adventure on planet Mira, Monolith Soft.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a rough diamond that is both demanding and delightful, but one that raises the bar for portable RPGs higher than ever before
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 million short of Wii U total sales).
In marked contrast to its predecessor, the Wii U, Nintendo's Switch has had a storming first year on sale, characterised by a string of incredibly good games. You could almost argue that it doesn't really need another game of the year contender – but that's exactly what Xenoblade Chronicles 2 turns...
The true sequel to the best-loved contemporary JRPG is unrestrained in its ambition, and the result is a chaotic kind of brilliance.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on the Switch won't disappoint series fans, especially those that love the Wii original (or even experienced it on New 3DS). It's a new cast and world, with some fresh mechanics and ideas, but much is still familiar.
