Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition review
Estimated reading time: 1 minute
For ten years, Xenoblade Chronicles X has lived as the black sheep of Monolith Soft’s grand RPG series. Its nameless, blank canvas protagonist, its full tilt into hard military sci-fi, and its recruitable cast of misfit, gung-ho soldier types all stand in direct opposition to the soaring fantasy and authored melodrama of its numbered stablemates. It couldn’t look or feel more different on the surface, but playing X again now, a decade on from its original release, I’ve been surprised by just how much it laid the foundations for what was to come later in the series.
