XC1 review: https://www.backloggd.com/u/DGunz_on_Twitch/review/796085/
After attempting to play XC1 on 3DS and dropping it after 8 hours due to various reasons, I thought heck, why not try the sequel. It looks cool.
Well, it is cool! This was a great Switch game - plenty of reason to grind things out while playing in handheld mode. It felt like a game that really made sense on Switch.
I found the battle system interesting and appreciated the sense of scale. I liked some of the characters, but some were very over-acted and awkward, for sure. Pyra/Mythra, Rex, and ESPECIALLY that weird bunny creature thing were low points.
I'm glad I tried this after discarding XC1. XC3 really interests me but I can't bring myself to invest another 100 hours in to a game like this. It's just too much.
All of these games are absolutely bloated/too long.
