Xenoblade Chronicles X on Wii U delivered a remarkable open world with brilliant visuals bearing in mind we were dealing with a console that sits within the same technological generation as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. And what this new and improved ‘Definitive Edition’ on Switch proves is that the game still holds up today, comparable with some ninth generation console efforts. John goes into depth on what made the game so impressive to begin with - and how this last Wii U to Switch port makes the game even better.
Playing this game for the first time and it’s very impressive.
I’ve read that the game world is estimated to be 5x larger than Fallout 4’s, and 3x larger than The Witcher 3. That’s insane.
