When I declared Xenoblade Chronicles 3 my favorite game of all time last year, I had so many people tell me it was all due to "recency bias" and "the honeymoon phase" that would all wear off with time.
13 months, three playthroughs, and an incredible story DLC later, I not only still hold this as my favorite game of all time, but I love it even more than I did after my first playthrough. All the unresolved questions have been answered, all my previous nitpicks I've come to terms with... and I can still confidently say Xenoblade 3 is the greatest, most profound work of fiction I have ever experienced.
I could never possibly praise Xenoblade 3 enough. It's perfect. Peak fiction. Changed my life forever, and I'm still feeling its effects on me every day

Relinquishing my soul to the Xenoblade autistic hivemind.
May the light of the Monado guide me.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is probably the most polarizing game I have ever played when it comes to fan opinions.

Me, I fucking love it. All the characters, all the Blades, all the over-the-top anime moments, the obtuse yet superbly satisfying combat, the gorgeous art direction, the absolutely PEAK soundtrack--I LOVE every bit of it.

Though admittedly it took me a little while to come to this opinion. My first playthrough back in 2017 was a little wonky; I didn't really understand how the battle system worked and I didn't become super invested in the story and characters until halfway through. Even by the end, I was not completely sold on some of the characters until Torna: The Golden Country released and gave several of the more underdeveloped character backstories much-needed context.

So yeah, I get it. I understand the reservations people have with this game. It is a difficult game to recommend to newcomers. But the many hundreds of hours of enjoyment I have gotten out of all my playthroughs make all of the reservations, all the criticisms, irrelevant.
...
Also this is probably the only game on Backloggd that has more 5-star ratings than any other rating AND has an average rating less than 4.0. Shows you how polarizing opinions on this game are.
