In this dark and depressing world we live in full of nihilism and anger I feel like this game came at a great time. This game covers many ideologies and concepts about life that's normally not touched upon in other games but playing it will really get you to think after you're done. It's not as convolutedly deep as yoko taro game but that's what I like about it, unlike those games this game wears its theme on its chest and isn't afraid to hide or talk about mature themes. Make no mistake, this game may be rated T but it can easily pass by as an M rated one. The characters and the story are some of the strongest we've had in the Xeno series. Everything just works in sync to become the best it can be and it's practically no contest. Xeno1 started out a bit slow but picked up very quick, Xeno2 starts off extremely slow and doesn't pick up until like midway into the game, and that's where Xeno3 comes in and says "snuff all that" and starts off with a banger opening and continues it throughout its entire runtime until the very end. There may be less chapters than the previous games but make no mistake they're still as beefy. That's because this game doesn't like to drag with its story and is always introducing something to keep the plot going and make it interesting. Every cutscene feels like the best cutscene with how they're all directed. Really it's a solid package and worth it's price tag, if you're familiar with Xenoblade Chronicles you already know about this game and think its peak. For newcomers out there looking to start it's best to start with Xeno1 but since these are all self-contained stories where the number doesn't mean anything. These games are still linked though and it won't take away the magic and engagement you'll have when you experience Xenoblade Chronicles 3 for the first time. Absolutely masterful.
