Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition

Xenoblade Chronicles X is an ambitious and sprawling RPG that excels in exploration, world-building, and strategic combat.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition successfully revitalizes an already ambitious RPG, refining its gameplay with worthwhile performance and quality-of-life improvements while preserving what made it special in the first place.

Xenoblade Chronicles X was already one of the Wii U’s best games, and this Definitive Edition does more than enough to justify another trip to planet Mira.

Xenoblade Chronicles X is bigger and better than ever on Nintendo Switch. The numerous quality-of-life upgrades and additions make the experience even more satisfying, and there simply is nothing like roaming the world of Mira inside your Skell. Jump in, get in that robot, pump up that music, and have a heck of a time doing it.

Xenoblade Chronicles X was a very ambitious game that debuted on a practically dying console. But right now you can confidently say that you have found a perfect example of a game ahead of its time. This definitive edition not only shows the strength of the series, but jRPG genre as a whole.

It's been nearly a decade and we finally have Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition so let's re-explore Mira and see what's new.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition refines its vast world, deep combat, and skell mechanics, making it the best way to experience this ambitious RPG. Despite narrative shortcomings, its exploration and customization are unmatched.

Not all its additions are for the better, but this excavation of Monolith Soft's alien opus remains as fascinating and enthralling as it was a decade ago.

With over 60 hours of gameplay, and much more if you aim to complete every mission and uncover every corner of Mira, there's always something to keep you engaged. Despite its narrative shortcomings, it’s a world that’s easy to lose yourself in—whether it’s your first adventure or a return trip.

While not without flaws, Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is a fantastic remaster of an impeccable game. It adds several quality-of-life choices and new content that’s worth it alone for returning fans and makes it easily accessible to new players.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition lives up to the name and delivers the best version of the legendary game, with almost across the board improvements.

I’ve never felt smaller than while playing Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition.
