    This game is one that, to my knowledge, gets next to no discussion. Which is honestly really sad, as it is fantastic in my opinion.

Which is honestly really sad, as it is fantastic in my opinion. The gameplay feels like a big improvement over the first, with it feeling even better than the already fantastic gameplay Xenoblade Chronicles had. The soundtrack is really underrated in my opinion, the world itself is absolutely massive and I just have an incredibly fun time exploring the vast lands this game has to offer, with some characters that I really like. Overall, while it isn't an absolutely perfect game, it's pretty high up there for me and one of my favorite games for the Wii U. Expand

    This is the best game that I have played in my life: I spent 420 hours on this game and I would testify that it is really fun and well polished.
    Xenoblade X is the best ever JRPG of all time for the following reasons:
    The flying robot mechs - Skells were designed by Takayuki Yanase, who previously worked as the mechanical designer for Mobile Suit Gundam 00. The music was designed by

    The flying robot mechs - Skells were designed by Takayuki Yanase, who previously worked as the mechanical designer for Mobile Suit Gundam 00.
    The music was designed by Hiroyuki sawano - an well known anime composer in Japan.
    Xenoblade X itself is an modern masterpiece in ever aspect, the design, the music and the story; not to forgot the characters.

    Would highly suggest this game to anyone who hasn't bought it yet, would even say it is worth picking up an Wii U just to play this masterpiece.

    To think that this game is for Wii U and the year is 2015 is just unbelievable! A pearl everyone should play!

    What it lacks in story it makes up for with boundless innovation. We can only hope this is ported to the switch.

    One of the most underrated games in history, considering it came out in 2015 for the Nintendo Wii U, the story is not as amazing as the other Xenoblade games, but in terms of RPG development this game surpass everything, must play!

    Almost perfect game. The music and the lack of volume adjustments made it hard to follow the incredible story.

    An overlooked classic. Definitely needs a port. You'll be surprised by the world and its ever-evolving mechanics. Highly recommended if you are a sci-fi fan and need to get away from the stresses of everyday life. This game, and its worlds, deliver. Oh, highly recommended you get an external drive for this one and a way to charge your Wii U handheld.

    With Breath of the Wild the best Open World game I ever played, the world is stunning.

    Quand on parle de pépite et avec des mecka ! C'est ce xenoblade qu'il faut. Moins ouf sur l'histoire, mais elle reste épique. Foncez !

    The fun in Xenoblade is seemingly never-ending, thanks to an amazing combat system and lots of things to do.

    We got used to developers promising huge worlds to explore, but there’s no other game where the world is so overwhelmingly vast. I honestly don’t know how much time you have to invest in Xenoblade Chronicles X to see everything this game has to offer. [02/2016, p.60]

    Xenoblade Chronicles is otherwise great, but the thin main plot and sheer repetition drop the score. [Jan 2016]
