I legit suck at this game. But I see it's value I love watching others play it. Do give this game a go and you might just be good at it.

2★ - I tolerate the game.

Not a fan of the progression. I feel more like I'm bashing my head against a wall instead of learning from each run. But the game has such a unique charm that I am willing to come back at another point to try again.

3★ - I like the game.

I believe it had some positives affects on me while I was using it?

1★ - I dislike the game.

Just like most Lego games on switch (Unless its a port of a last gen game) this runs poorly and makes me want to avoid the game. Which is a shame cause it looks like a lot of passion was put into it.

4★ - I really like the game.

I miss when Minecraft actually ran on the switch. Spent so many hours on this version.

1★ - I dislike the game.

I really wanted to like this game. I tried so hard to enjoy the game. I did my first four characters stories. Unlocked the secret classes and every moment was tedious and unfun. I do see the glimmers of a good rpg and I hope the second game improves upon this one.

2★ - I tolerate the game.

Funny for a couple of minutes. I don't understand why my friends wanted to play this every damn time they came over.

1★ - I dislike the game.

I'm going to be a prude. But I was made immediately uncomfortable when an intro cutscene for a female character that looked like they were 10 years old was them turning around and sitting on the camera. The fuck japan.

I liked what I played. But that wasn't much due to the server issues I had to deal with. I live in Australia but no other multiplayer games have been this bad.

2.5★ - I like the game.

I love this games vibes. Too bad I suck at skating.

5★ - I love the game.

I've never touched my save file since I freed everyone. I hope they are all happy.

4★ - I really like the game.

I really wanted to love this game like I did its predecessor but just couldn't do it. Be it for over hyping or something else. But I found that the RPG elements dug a little bit too much into my enjoyment for this title especially when it came to doing missions. I don't really find it fun trying out multiple characters for a certain quest to find out I might of had the right build from the start but I just didn't star level them enough. Or a character out of the multiple choices had a broken move I hadn't seen yet. Other than all that. The rhythm side of the game is still top notch and so much fun.

2.5★ - I like the game.

I'm going to be grilled for this one. I'm sorry to say I just couldn't get into this game or correction, I could until you get past a certain point in the story where I begin to feel the padding of the game. Battles being slow, the amount of filler story quests compared to before. The endless amount of the same side quest over and over (The task is the same, but the context is different for each quest).

However, I can see what people like. If I hadn't had the story twists spoiled I might have felt a lot more highly during the last 40 hours of the game. The world is amazing to traverse and beautiful to look at. The music hypes up every moment perfectly and I don't know what this means but the final boss music felt quite toned down compared to some of the other tracks used at other moments of the game (I went back to the final boss track and my speakers must have been bad because those guitar riffs are so good). I could see this combat working if it was refined a bit more but there tends to be too much going on at once during certain fights that it makes it frustrating to deal with.

The story is great for the most part. I would say around the 3rd act of the story the pacing becomes pretty bad. Considering I didn't need to grind at all for the whole game until the final chapter due to a level spike. The story up until the 3rd act just keeps rolling on and leaves little space to do side quests without feeling like you're neglecting the world and the importance of the task at hand. This to me is a big issue when the game has 400+ quests.

I've been quite a bit negative here and it may have been from expectations from everyone else calling this game a masterpiece or perfect. This game is good with some problems. It's definitely a love-dislike thing for me which from what I've seen from fans of the series seems to be the case for every Xeno game ever.

(If you reply to this review don't be toxic. If you can give me tips for any possible replays to make me love the game more I will gladly accept.)
