Review: 'Xenoblade Chronicles X

"Xenoblade Chronicles X" is a confusing game. On one hand, it’s a pretty classic Japanese RPG about saving the world in giant armor suits, but it’s also sort of built like a modern MMO with clans and raids. There’s a central story to tie it all together for solo players of course, but "Xenoblade Chronicles X" is far more interesting when you put the story on the back burner and chart its vast, breathtaking world. There’s not a terrible amount of structure, and the game never holds your hand, but it brings Nintendo’s beleaguered console some real RPG credibility for the first time in its lifespan, and some of the best use of the WiiU Gamepad to boot.
