This review was originally published in November 2017 back when Xenoblade Chronicles 2 launched on the Switch 1. Eventually they made their way to the West, and of the three titles Xenoblade Chronicles was — in our view at least — the best of them all. It was fantastic, but in bringing Xenoblade Chronicles 2 to the Switch, a clear choice has been made; this is the true sequel and 'main' entry. At times Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is gorgeous, with attractive and creative landscapes both in standard gameplay and the many cutscenes. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is just that, though Monolith Soft has maintained its standards without making a notable leap forward - it feels like the true Xenoblade peak is yet to come.
