Xenoblade Chronicles X is not so much “deep” as it is complex – a rich spider’s web of interconnected activities that will take hours to fully comprehend. Work is involved in fully grasping this whole show, but once you’ve finally sorted things out and taken advantage of the game’s ginormous virtual manual, there’s a wonderfully absorbing adventure lying in wait.

Xenoblade Chronicles X embraces the gigantic world found within it and provides gamers with not only beautiful environments, but uniquely designed creatures that inhabit them. The combat feels familiar in some ways, while also providing many nuances that set it part from its spiritual predecessors. The Wii U may be nearing its life cycle, but it certainly still has a little gas in it with yet another gem in Xenoblade Chronicles X.

There are literally hundreds of hours of potential gameplay here, but even if you don't tackle everything, getting to know Mira is exciting, full of breathtaking surprises, and downright fun. If you find the patience to get over its learning curve, Xenoblade Chronicles X will reward that patience with a wealth of memorable experiences.

Luckily for the game combat is awesome, the story is worth sticking around the lengthy conversations for, and the world is interesting enough that sticking around for a while wouldn’t be the worst use of my time. It’s an odd approach, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have a lot of fun with this game.

Blake Peterson — Dec 03, 2015
Parts of it are so Japanese—character design, animations, anime/manga-esque plot—that it feels like it should be an Atlus or Nippon-Ichi title; but if it were that niche it would never have been able to develop the expansive environment. There's certainly nothing like it on the Wii U, or anywhere else. It's definitely worth picking up if you have the platform.

I began Xenoblade Chronicles X filled with enthusiasm for its intriguing world and gorgeous visuals. But like the hackneyed songs that play ad nauseum throughout, the gameplay doesn’t have enough depth or entertainment to sustain such a prolonged experience.

Xenoblade Chronicles X is a masterclass of design that we don’t often see in the JRPG genre, and easily stands besides the few heavyweights we’ve seen so far this generation. Once you get over the hump and understand its systems, X offers a simply huge world to seamlessly explore.

It took me 73 hours to finish the main story and there's still lots of things to do. The presentation can feel stiff and awkward at times, but the satisfying loop of combat and customization makes exploring the vast world of Mira a fun and rewarding experience.

Jonathan Bolding — Dec 01, 2015
An accessible ambassador for its genre, Xenoblade Chronicles X makes good choices building a world, but stumbles on writing you a guidebook to it. A must-play for RPG fans with a Wii U. Xenoblade is also surprisingly accessible despite its complexities, so the curious should definitely give it a try. Mecha genre fans should not miss it under any circumstances.

Despite some minor flaws, Xenoblades Chronicles X is a JRPG fan’s dream come true. If you own a Wii U and are a fan of sandbox games, epic storytelling, and getting a lot of gameplay for your dollar, this game is highly recommended. For those who are a fan of JRPGS or are a fan of Western RPGs and would like to try a great JRPG with lots of western RPG elements, you’d be missing out if you didn’t pick this game up, as it’s a triumph of the modern JRPG.

Bradly Storm — Nov 30, 2015
It may not be the follow-up that hardcore Xenoblade Chronicles fans were hoping for, but it’s a worthy sequel all the same — just one that marches to the beat of its own drum. Its unflinching tendency to do things that were not part of its predecessor’s legacy will solidify it as not only its own game, but the best role-playing experience on Wii U.

Philip Kollar — Nov 30, 2015
One of those rare video game moments that can be described as "epic" without hyperbole. But the UI is just one example of how X gets in its own way, hiding its beautiful world beneath overly complicated and under-explained systems that just don't add enough. Monolith Soft has once more created something special under the Xenoblade name; it just happens to have buried that something special under a mountain of annoyances.

Xenoblade Chronicles X offers a resplendent world, fantastic combat, and transforming mechs, but figuring out how everything fits together isn't always easy.

Peter Brown — Nov 30, 2015
X is a grand adventure that satiates your appetite for exploration and combat in ways that few games ever do, but because getting started is half the battle, it’s an experience reserved for dedicated players who have the patience and energy to unearth its greatest treasures.

Ozzie Mejia — Dec 02, 2015
With that said, investing dozens of hours into the game does feel rewarding. There are immensely satisfying moments for those that choose to stick with this game, but those moments need to be earned. Nothing will come easy, but nothing truly worthwhile ever is.

Xenoblade Chronicles X has a lot going for it. The incredible world, in-depth combat engine and an amazing soundtrack sets up the foundation for something that could’ve been an absolute classic. However, due to the missteps in quest design and overall progression, it’s a game that can only truly be enjoyed despite itself.

Jeff Landa — Nov 30, 2015
The simple story, although held together by strong performances, is forgettable, which is a shame given the stage in which to play. The complex game system, although undermined by the sometimes mundane combat and dull fetch quests, is enough to propel hours upon hours of exploration of Mira, even beyond the initial main story.

Chris Carter — Nov 30, 2015
This is one of the more interesting reviews I've done as of late because I know Xenoblade Chronicles X will be divisive. But it truly feels like an MMO world I've been living in for several weeks now. The more grimdark theme isn't quite as charming as the original Xenoblade, but everything else makes up for it.

gamesTM — Jan 10, 2016
For all its faults it’s still an enormous RPG with one of the best worlds you’ll ever explore and an expanded version of its battle system with fights that, while longer, are still a joy to seamlessly hop in and out of. For every massive feature it introduces, though, there’s another small niggle that keeps you from falling completely in love. The result is a game that feels like it’s continually taking five steps forward, but one step back.

Xenoblade Chronicles X is a genuinely enthralling game. It doesn’t take it easy on you though, and the perseverance and attention required may override the spectacle and beauty found here. Fans of the last game may also struggle with the tonal and technical shift, but if you want to experience one of the most involving, creative and expansive open worlds ever created, Xenoblade Chronicles X is essential.

Xenoblade Chronicles X is an amazingly well rounded game. There's so much to do on the planet Mira, from quick-fire quests to experiencing great adventures alone or with four other players in online mode. And that's not mentioning customising your base and your Skells.

The developer has put so much focus and love into each and every aspect. The sheer amount of content does also justify the wait fans have had to endure to finally experience this extremely anticipated Wii U title. Breast-size slider or not, Xenoblade Chronicles X is a game worthy of every RPG fan's attention.

All told, it's a long game with a lot of content, and it solidifies Monolith Soft as Japan's answer to Bethesda Game Studios; anyone looking for an alternative flavour to the developer's open-world RPGs need look no further.

Occasional bottlenecks are infrequent and easily overcome in the broader experience, and overall Xenoblade Chronicles X delivers a hugely impressive RPG adventure. It's an enormous accomplishment for Monolith Soft and an irresistible part of the Wii U library.

Xenoblade Chronicles X has its share of frustrations, but in terms of ambition and sheer scale it’s one of the most impressive games of the year. It’s also proof that open world games don’t live or die on the size of their map or the quality of their graphics (even though XenobladeX excels in both areas).

That is because ultimately, in what the game tries to do, it succeeds completely: it creates an incredible, breathtaking, awe-inspiring world that is an absolute joy to run around in, to fight in, to collect in, to look around in, to be in. It may not have done so flawlessly, but Xenoblade Chronicles X gave me one of the finest worlds gaming has to offer, and it populated that world with incredible things to do.

Todo tiene su sentido, y la confluencia entre misiones principales, secundarias, exploración del mundo, recolección de materiales, sistema de extracción y gestión de recursos, o la mejora constante de nuestro equipo de personajes hacen de Mira un mundo único en el que cada paso que damos es relevante. Esto dota de sensaciones únicas a la longeva experiencia con el juego.

Para hablar en lengua de los fans de la metaserie Xeno: mejor que su predecesor en mecánicas, inmersión y exploración, pero no en historia ni música. Para el público en general: un juego indispensable para el Wii U, y probablemente el único título de mundo abierto contemporáneo de alto calibre junto con Zelda. Bravo, Monolith Soft.

Gráficamente y musicalmente es de lo mejor que hemos visto y oído este año. Fuerza bruta tanto técnica como artística a la que le ha faltado un mejor control y equilibrio para levantar un videojuego que resulta aburrido en ocasiones y falto de ritmo. Aún así, con sus defectos, uno de los videojuegos más recomendables de la consola de Nintendo, especialmente indicado para los fans más acérrimos del género.

Pero sin duda estamos ante uno de los juegos de rol más destacables de la actual generación, con muchas ideas geniales (esos Skells nos han conquistado) y uno de los mundos mejor contruidos que se han visto en un videojuego. Si os atrae su planteamiento y valoráis lo que supone una larga experiencia en la que las grandes satisfacciones llegan poco a poco, este es el juego por el que vale la pena adquirir una Wii U.

El último momento definitorio de Xenoblade Chronicles X sucede cuando te das cuenta de que estás jugando a algo que consigue hacer simple la complejidad más abrumadora, y que estás prendado, y que no te importa (¡a ti, que tanto lo odias!) hablar de tu otra vida: la que llevas en Mira, dando paseos con el Skell y recogiendo cristales azules que no significan absolutamente nada.

Xenoblade Chronicles X es producto de una gran ambición y un deseo por trascender en el mercado de los videojuegos. Wii U ha recibido quizás el título más grande y complejo en todo su catálogo, mismo que aún con sus fallas técnicas, logra ofrecer una experienciaa como ninguna que hayamos vivido en la industria de los videojuegos.

Xenoblade Chronicles X es un juego que marca un antes y un después en el catálogo de Wii U, pero que cualquiera que quiera hacer un juego de mundo abierto hoy en día debería marcarse como referencia. El tamaño de Mira es colosal y la cantidad de contenido que tiene, las opciones de personalización y su extensión lo convierten en un título para estar enganchado durante meses.

Si a todo esto le sumamos un apartado técnico y artístico descomunal, una banda sonora inolvidable, una buena historia de ciencia ficción repleta de grandes momentos, un sistema de combate divertidísimo, la posibilidad de pilotar mechas, montones de actividades y misiones secundarias para realizar, y cientos horas si queremos completarlo todo, queda claro que estamos ante uno de los grandes juegos del año.

Das GamePad wurde clever genutzt, die Aufgabenstellungen breit gefächert. Man war Entdecker, Sammler und Jäger in einem, Pionier und Konstrukteur, Organisator und Vermittler, Kamerad und Anführer und spätestens als Skell-Pilot unsterblich in seinen Job verliebt. Diesem beeindruckenden und geheimnisvollen Abenteuerspielplatz sollte wirklich jeder mit Wii U einen Besuch abstatten.

Geschichte? Super. Welt? Wunderschön. Kampfsystem? Motivierend. Die drei wichtigsten Merkmale hat Xenoblade Chronicles X von seinem Vorgänger übernommen und ausgebaut. Leider hat das Rollenspiel auch die Schwächen mitgenommen. Langweilige Quests, verschachtelte Menüs und freischaltbare Hauptmissionen drücken auf die Spaßbremse.

Xenoblade Chronicles X is a sensational game that will keep gamers busy for hours on end. Going into the game, gamers should be well aware that X does have a few flaws, namely the required side quests between story missions and a few graphical hiccups here and there. While these can be a bit annoying, getting past them is easy thanks to the engaging battle system, fantastic visuals and smartly implemented online system.

Presque. Xenoblade Chronicles X passe assez près d'un certain souffle épique amené par cette sensation de fin de règne, ce côté pionnier isolé seul au fin fond de la galaxie, cet aspect découverte d'un monde encore vierge. Mira remplit son office : un monde titanesque, varié, vivant, bougrement bien conçu.

L'introduction d'un avatar implique davantage le joueur au sein de ce macrocosme, plus fourmillant de vie grâce à sa dimension en ligne harmonieusement intégrée. Plus mature qu'il n'y paraît, ce Xenoblade repousse les frontières du J-RPG jusqu'à s'en imposer comme le fer de lance, capable de le croiser avec ses rivaux de la terre entière, armé de son X.

C’est passionnant, hypnotique et on s’arrête pour prendre des photos tant les paysages sont sublimes. Il faut bien préparer son matos et parfois s’accrocher car le parcours est une affaire de patience. Certains trouveront toujours ridicule de marcher d’un point à un autre quand il existe tant de moyens de locomotion. Peut-être qu’ils ne sont intéressés ni par le plaisir de la découverte, ni par la beauté des paysages.

La sortie de Xenoblade Chronicles X a toutes les chances de marquer les esprits de manière aussi significative que l'épisode Wii quatre ans plus tôt. Encore plus remarquable que son aîné en termes de richesse et de longévité, ce J-RPG pas comme les autres fait dans la démesure la plus totale pour nous absorber sans compromis dans son univers de S.F. qu'une vie entière ne suffirait pas à explorer.

Num planeta visualmente esplêndido, a raça humana encontra-se novamente no início da sua Evolução, perdida num mundo repleto de criaturas que lembram os primatas.

Questo è un gioco che, fondamentalmente, racchiude tutto il meglio e il peggio dei Jrpg, e accentua entrambi. L'amore per lui dipenderà solo da che tipo di giocatore siete. Potete tollerare una ripetitività quasi patologica per apprezzare un sistema profondo e complesso all'inverosimile e un mondo artisticamente splendido? In tal caso, per voi sarà il gioco della vita. Ma se amate le storie indimenticabili e i gdr sì complessi, ma anche fruibili, girate davvero al largo.

В игре много всего: много игрового пространства, много механик, много персонажей, много контента. Только вот количество не всегда переходит в качество. Труд персонажей, занятых исследованием и благоустройством Миры, как и реальные занятия игроков, частенько оборачивается рутиной.

Het is wonderbaarlijk te noemen dat Xenoblade Chronicles X op de Wii U draait, maar wat een technisch hoogstandje is het. De gigantische open wereld verbluft en liet me keer op keer met open mond achter. Naast de wereld is het uitstekende combat-systeem en de vele aanvallen die je via de verschillende klassen unlockt de ster van de game.

Xenoblade Chronicles was al een geweldige game op de Wii en deze downloadbare versie voor de Wii U doet het nog altijd fantastisch. Net als goede wijn wordt deze game met de jaren beter en het is dan ook nog steeds een zeer relevante game. Bovendien speelt de game enorm fijn weg op de Wii U GamePad, waarop de graphics ook nog eens beter naar voren komen. Zoals hoofdpersonage Shulk zou zeggen: I'm really feeling it!

Detta är ett sjuhelsikes stort äventyr som du verkligen måste sätta dig in i för att avnjuta till fullo. Om du tyckte att du lade ner mycket tid med föregångaren kan jag gå i god för att du kommer lägga ner minst lika mycket tid, om inte mer, med det här rollspelsäventyret. Monolith Software har utvecklat ett sjukt underhållande äventyr och personligen anser jag att Xenoblade Chronicles X är det bästa rollspelet som släppts sedan Final Fantasy VII.
