It took a long time for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 to grow on me, and it’s only after playing the game twice that I truly appreciate it. Because Xenoblade 2 is a great game, but only if you’re willing to put in the effort. This game is not to be taken lightly.

WARNING!
- This video contains massive spoilers for Xenoblade 2 and its DLC, Torna: the Golden Country.
- It has NO spoilers for any of the other Xeno games.
