The best RPG's feel like a real journey, and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 nails that bench mark. The story concept is out there enough to be unique, but resonant enough to hook you and keep you playing. The soundtrack pulls out all the stops and really aids in the emotional high notes hitting as hard as they do. The world is tremendous, packed to the brim with nooks and crannies to explore. The team building in gameplay is fantastic, giving you a huge degree of customization to make your dream team of warriors. If you've played any other Xenoblade games and liked them, you absolutely cannot miss this one.

Certainly the game isn't perfect, some things exist just to bloat the hefty run time, and certain aspects seem cool at first but way overstay their welcome (chain attack theme lol), but you can easily work past those. Just go with the flow of the game, and let your sense of adventure take over and you'll have a wonderful time.
