    here come the people review bombing and calling the battle system boring without even understanding the mechanics past auto attacking. the exact same happened with 2, so I'm not surprised. if you can't understand the game, you should go back to fortnite!

    Best one of the series so far. Awesome graphics, captivating story and nice combat mechanics. Oh, and the music! It's top notch. Worth every penny, specially considering how many hours of gameplay this game provides. It's a must have for Switch owners, even for those that are not much into JRPGs, it's worth a try.

    Level design and story does not live up to original Xenoblade Chronicles. It's a solid game with beautiful graphics and music but it struggles to bring something new/better than original game. Characters are bland and mostly generic.

    In my opinion, xenoblade 3 is by far the best xenoblade game. With better UI, higher resolution , advanced battle system, and of course the music and character design, if you love xenoblade 1 and 2, this is the game that will not disappoint you!

    The Story?
    Everything you would expect from a Xenoblade game, tho a bit slow to kick off when you do all the side content

    Combat?
    I found XC1's combat... okay. XC2's combat I really disliked. XC3 however managed to make Xenoblade combat actually _fun_ for me. The Ourboros form, switching classes, switching characters mid combat and all make it so battles never become boring.

    Graphics?
    Insane, considering this is the Switch. They do some very dark magic of upscaling and shaders to manage this feat, but the image almost always looks fantastic. Both in docked and handheld mode.

    Issues?
    I have encountered no real bugs so far, just very minor glitches, like some items getting stuck in a wall (but still being able to pick them up), or a character vanishing in a nearby furniture piece.

    Now why just 9/10?
    Because while being a perfect Xenoblade game that overcomes almost every weakness and oddities of the former games, it isn't without flaw.
    Even though the world is vast, there's a good amount of backtracking at times when new things get unlocked in older areas - and unlocking faster running only seems to come halfway through the game.
    There's also some other QoL things missing, like being able to give much needed specific commands in battle (prioritize Ourboros, prioritize healing, ...)
    And there's a flood of unskipable tutorials in the first ~10 hours or so. Very annoying - but helpful for players new to the series.    … Expand

    I’m a veteran fan of the Xenoblade games with X being my favourite followed 1 (DE) and then 2. I’m about 8 hours in and so far this iteration of the series improves on the previous entries graphically, stylistically, and in gameplay. It’s a flawed masterpiece, like the games that came before hand, but I maintain a 10 scoring to reflect the net enjoyment the game brings me.

    Una verdadera joya de los JRPG, la saga Xenoblade lo vuelve hacer mejorando todo lo anterior.

    llevare unas 20 horas y facilmente le daria un 8.9 y estoi seguro que a medida que me acerque al final la nota subira por encima de 9 pero le pongo un 10 para equilibrar la nota.

    Xenoblade 3 is truly amazing. You can feel the passion, the experience and the love put into it. The developers have used their knowledge and expertise from developing Xenoblade 1, 2 and X to make this game the most fine-tuned in everyway, from the story, gameplay to Quality of Life improvements. If there's any complaint it would be the long tutorial.

    I could finish the game in 52 hours. He took me to his world with story and I played until my eyes were devastated. Since I was extremely curious about the story, I mainly proceeded from the main story, but I did not rush. First of all, the story is beyond my high expectations. Their music is beyond legendary and makes you experience the spirit and world of the game completely. YasunoriI could finish the game in 52 hours.

The flute choice is incredible. I think it will connect more to Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 with its dlc that will be released at the end of next year.

    Ultimately, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 represents the pinnacle of the series, both gameplay-wise and narratively. The characters are another highlight of the game. They are well-drawn, with only a small amount of formulaicness. [Issue#321]

    I began XC3 knowing I'd enjoy it because of the fun I had with the previous games. What I didn't expect was for this to become one of my favorite JPRGs of all-time! With its engaging open world, engrossing combat system, loveable characters and gripping story, this game is a masterpiece of the genre! [Issue #62 – November/December 2022, p. 67]

    Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is a clear improvement over its predecessors in almost every way. It streamlines so much and avoids past pitfalls, though there’s still work to be done in terms of balancing the difficulty. There’s a grounded story here with a solid cast of characters, and the basic plot is much easier to digest. The world design exceeds past efforts with ease, and the implementation of Hero Quests is a game changer. While the devs have done an admirable job making the battle system easier to grasp, it feels like the series has fully explored and exhausted these core combat mechanics, signaling it’s time for the next game to change things up. As a whole, it stands as a phenomenal RPG with a one-of-a-kind sense of exploration you can’t find anywhere else.
