Xenoblade Chronicles 1 was always a game I intended to play so when the definitive edition dropped I really had no excuse to not play it, I got the collector’s edition because I had a feeling the game would be right up my alley. I however didn’t expect it to prove why it’s one of the best games on the wii and now the switch within its first 5 hours. I was already completely hooked on the game and attached to Shulk and the journey he was about to set out on.
It’s a game best experienced going in knowing as little as possible because the story has such epic cutscenes and emotional moments, the likes of which I’ve only seen in very few others. But even if you’ve been spoiled about some important things like I was (Smash Bros…) it’s still absolutely worth experiencing.
