I’ve made it no secret that I’m pumped for Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition on the Nintendo Switch. It’s coming out Thursday (the same day as the next Nintendo Entertainment Podcast episode!!!!), and I’ll definitely be playing it that day, the next day, that weekend whenever possible, and the following week whenever possible. Seriously, I’m pumped for it. The question is, “Will the definitive edition be worth it?” The answer by reviewer accounts is, “Oh, yes!” Don’t believe me? On Metacritic, over 50 reviews have been put out for the title, and the game is averaging a score of 88!
So, yeah, Monolith Soft has definitely done right by fans with this remaster! If you want to see some of the scores that made it on the site, here you go:

Many of the reviews praise the game’s looks, refined gameplay, additional storyline, and the vast world that gamers can explore. If you’ve never played the Wii U version, you’re in a treat with the Switch one! Due to the size of the game, I can’t say when my review will be up for it, but I’ll be sure to give it my all to get it to you soon!
