There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The first time I played it, I played it for about 4 hours, got to the first "continent" and set it down. I really "wasn't feeling it". Six months later I decided to restart and give it another shot. This time, I changed the difficulty (ie. Lowered only mob health) and had an immensely better time. I completed the playthrough and loved the story.
By the time the game gets near the end, the cutscenes, dialogue, and story only improve. Where some games go halfway and let you down, this one remains strong in the opposite way. It starts slow and you don't want it to end.
Playing this really did feel like watching a good anime. If you get this, and find yourself disliking the beginning portion, do know it gets better. The story definitely takes an epic turn.
The story was really great and impactful and did a good job showing instead of telling outright, though people who haven't played the base game might be pretty lost. Even though I knew how everything had to end up it was cool to see the characters interact and some crucial points of the Xenoblade lore brought to life. And I was already ready to give this game 5 stars until the last 20 minutes rolled around, which were even more incredible than what had come before.
The only downside was getting forced to do sidequests at certain points. That being said, they did a good job of offering you a bunch of different quests to choose from, some easier than others and some you might already have mostly completed from earlier exploration. I usually don't play games much beyond the main story but I didn't find these too bothersome when I actually went out and started talking to people and collecting resources.
You owe it to yourself to play the two Xenoblade entries on the Switch. If the base game is an epic poem, this expansion is a page-turning novella. Both are worth every penny.
The gameplay is extremely fun when it comes to battle. The music, sound effects, mechanics, animations, moves, etc. all work so well and are, most importantly, FUN to deal with. THis is the most fast-paced Xenoblade game by far.
My only gripe with this game is the Community system. 2 times is it forced upon you to use throughout the game, which ruins the whole point of a sidequest, and the second time it easily can waste 1-3 or even more hours, and that's when I SKIPPED the cutscenes from the sidequests, which after a while you realize are padding and don't necessarily add to the overall plot, not to mention when they're forced it ruins any interest you have in them given you're trying to save the world.
Besides that it took me a little more than 15 hours to beat, and I didn't rush the game, I spent time exploring the new areas and fighting different super bosses for fun, and I can see myself playing it for several more hours before I start playing the other DLC that is used on the main game.
Definitely should be your first Xenoblade game if you're new to the series and want to have a glimpse of it, it's the easiest to get into, fastest, shortest, cheapest, and it doesn't (necessarily) spoil the plots of the other games.
Mechanically, the add-on is very similar to the base game, as one would expect of a standalone add-on, but with some key tweaks such as the ability to directly control blades, as well as use drivers in blade combos and the other way around (meaningful statements if you've played XC2).
I should also say that, while Torna really doesn't spoil the plot of the base game, and it was released standalone, I don't think it should be played before one has finished the original. There are swaths of background information and lore that could very well confuse the uninitiated.
I will have to critique the production values versus the original, however. Particularly in the animation department (there is a far lesser ratio of motion captured event scenes, making the presentation of many story moments of less than necessary importance seem a good deal cheaper). While I can't say for certain without an analysis tool of some kind, the framerate also seems noticeably less stable than the original game, leading me to believe Torna simply didn't get the same kind of optimization love.
Ultimately, I heavily enjoyed my time with the game (went completionist and spent over twenty hours with it; not bad a for something which began as mere DLC). The story, particularly in the third-act, captivated me (even if it was at times *aggressively* anime), the combat was fun to experiment with, and it was one heck of a value.

Everything seems more streamlined versus 2. That being said it isn't a long story but it is a story you're going to want to play through. I won't give anything away but definitely pick this up while you still can for MSRP. It'll go the way of the dodo soon.
It's a small price to pay for such a great game but being that it's quite short I felt I should mention it. I almost would have preferred to play this game prior to Xenoblade 2, but at the same time Xeno 2 in terms of the gameplay feels like a bit of a downgrade, and I still loved Xeno 2 for a lot of various other reasons. Loved the story in both games.
