About Xenoblade Chronicles

Xenoblade Chronicles follows Shulk and his band of friends as they search for answers about the mysterious "Monado" sword and defend their homeland from violent robotic creatures known as the Mechon. The game contains an open world design and strongly emphasizes exploration due to the world's large size. The game was very well received by critics, with many citing it as a great example of innovation and improvement in Japanese role-playing video games. The game has spawned a sub-series of the larger "Xeno" series, including Xenoblade Chronicles X (Wii U) and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Switch).

Compared to Horizon it feels so much more alive somehow (not knocking Aloy's world, just different vibes) the party banter alone sells it for me!!

    Moi c'est surtout le classement qui m'étonne, un jeu qu'on cite autant devrait grimper plus vite non

    Je le trouve surestimé par rapport à sa réputation, il y a des passages qui traînent vraiment trop longtemps.

    felt the exact same way, this world just breathes differently than anything else on that list

    classé si bas alors qu'il écrase la moyenne de ses duels, ça dit surtout un truc sur les votants

    On y jouait après les cours, ct notre RPG de référence cette année-là.

    Witcher 3 tient mieux, désolé.

    La maniabilité en combat demande un temps d'adaptation que peu de joueurs actuels accepteraient de donner.
