As a huge fan of both Xenoblade 1 and Xenoblade X, I came into this game expecting to love it and am sad to say that I don't. To me this is an absolute embarrassment of a video game and contains nothing of what I loved about either of those 2 previous titles. It is slow and boring, with bad dialouge and character work. The first 3rd of the game feels like it was written for a different video game than the rest, filled with bad jokes and strange filler that leads to nothing. It's not the worst game of all time, but is certainly the one I personally hate the most. I wanted to enjoy it so bad, and how others can love it so much will never make sense

A game that looks and feels like it was made during the dark ages, but after playing it I can understand why it was so impactful. It is extremely bold and trying so hard to push itself as much as it can, with a story that takes surprising turns even 25 years later. Its hard to find modern games willing to kill off a major character halfway through the game, even now. The worst part about this game is the Materia system and final boss, which are just more of a chore than anything. Materia also removes a lot of character development, since you are never incentivized to switch party members and homogenizes the cast combat wise. Still definitely a classic I'd recommend to any rpg fan.

A game I enjoyed for the most part with a satisfying gameplay loop and a visually impressive world, though a lot of my enjoyment came from experiencing the crazy bugs. Story and world building are pretty shallow, a lot goes unused or is underdeveloped. What I thought was the halfway point of the game was actually the end, which is always annoying, and it generally lacks all of the qualities I appreciate so much from The Witcher games. Definitely want to give it another swing when the dlc comes out and with all the bug fixes, but as of right now I do not look back on this game fondly

One of the most polished and fun roguelikes I have played, as expected by Supergiant's track record for quality. Story, characters, visuals, gameplay feel, music, etc. are all top notch, though unfortunately I have a couple of issues. Issue 1 is what feels like a lack of build variety. There are a lot of optons, but usually tend to feel kind of samey which made replaying it a chore, in comparison to other roguelikes I've sunk hours into. 2nd issue is that it is easily Supergiant's most derivative game, going off of pre-established greek mythology, rather than their other games which feel much more original. Still a fantastic game
