The black sheep of the Xenoblade series, a much more gameplay focused entry with a soundtrack by Hiroyuki Sawano of AoT and Kill la Kill fame, and the people who have seen those shows will know that his style is distinct and brilliant. The story is bad, and unfinished, but frankly it doesn't really matter when the side content is so engaging and the world is so fun to explore. One of, if not the best open worlds ever designed, AND this is still the only Xenoblade where you get to fly around in and fight in a mech. XC3 comes close with Ouroboros but it isn't quite there. An absolute joy, even though it's so different than the other games.
