As a game nominated "Game of the Year" I could say that it is well deserved. I was surprised and happy knowing that this game made it there as one of those nominees. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is my first in the series. I had doubts at first. But then without me realizing, I already have spent time on this game and finally feeling myself enjoying the game even more. Yes, the game somewhat gave me a confusing lore and a slow start, but that didn't hold me to not finish the game. I love RPG and will always do.  
  
XC3 is one of those RPG's with unique battle system. Grinding, and level up options. Which I think gave this game an edge over some available RPG's out there. What I like about this is the story itself. The lore is kinda huge. But then, upon playing it. You'll surely enjoy it. This is a a must have for Nintendo switch owners.
