Xenoblade Chronicles 2 reviews round up – see all the scores here

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is Nintendo’s big RPG for the holidays. How does it stack up? Reviews are in.

Xenoblade Chronicles remains a cult classic, and while pseudo-sequel Xenoblade X wasn’t a bad game it didn’t quite scratch the same itch as the first game. Fans can rejoice now, however, as Nintendo is going back to what made that cult Wii title a favourite with Xenoblade Chronicles 2 – a major RPG outing for the Switch that in terms of size and length is probably the biggest and most ambitious game on the system since The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Nintendo has generally been targeting the Zelda audience with Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in fact, going so far as to insert a Xenoblade 2 themed quest into Zelda in the form of free DLC. But how does it stack up to Breath of the Wild in the reviews department? Here’s the scores:

• Gamespot – 7
• RPG Site – 9
• MMORPG.com – 85/100
• We Got This Covered – 4/5
• Nintendo World Report – 9.5
• Destructoid – 8
• The Sixth Axis – 9
• DualShockers – 9.5
• Gameblog – 9
• WCCFTech – 8.8
• GamingTrend – 85
• Attack of the Fanboy – 4.5/5
