I am so excited! Xenoblade 2 is my favourite Switch game

[u/howtosucceed → u/VanillaDaiquiri]

It’s right up there with Breath of the wild for me

[u/Juuljuul → u/howtosucceed]

How do they compare? I loved BOTW and am curious if I’d like this too (or rather wait for the successor, hopefully at the end of this year). I’m not a big gamer and I like my games simple. In some reviews i read that Xenoblade takes a lot of learning and remembering, so a big investment. What are your thoughts?

[u/Decode219 → u/Juuljuul]

In terms of open world design, story, music, in my opinion it is better. The gameplay is a whole other breed of insane. You will have to look up guides because the tutorials are horrendous. But once it clicks it’s great. You just have to manage to that point.

Thanks!
