I have no idea where to even start. Almost everything in this game is a step up from the first one. Exploring the world of Alrest was absolutely amazing as well as all of the breathtaking areas that really showcase the Nintendo Switch's full potential. The world building with all of the Titans and the varying cultures of the different nations was really insightful. This game actively feels like a huge adventure. Next up EVERY single character of this game's cast gets a chance to shine. You'll grow to love the characters and care for them deeply. EVEN the rare summons all have their own character to them and their own stories that'll make you grow attached to them. The gameplay of this game is a huugeee step up from Xenoblade and really kicks off and becomes super fast paced once you unlock even more skills in the game. The game can be challenging at times but it's VERY rewarding and satisfying. The story will make you feel every emotion known to man and the MUSIC of this game just accentuates every single moment and takes it to an entirely new level. Nothing I can say can bring justice to just how beautiful the music of this game is. The compositions of every song just breathed life into every area that you visit and set the vibe of that location. All in all everything comes together to create a genuine wonderful video game experience. This game shouldn't just be taken at face value, it should be enjoyed as a whole on your own accord, regardless of the discourse you may or may not have heard about the game. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a remarkable masterpiece of a game and it will make you feel human again.
