Xenoblade Chronicles X

SCORE: 59

I am very thankful that Family Friendly Gaming rented a copy of Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Wii U. This open world action adventure role playing video game looks great for a Wii game. Oh wait this is on the Wii U. Okay so it looks decent on the Wii U. It does not compare to high visual games on the Playstation 4 or Xbox One though. Xenoblade Chronicles X also immerses itself into controversy.

Two alien races decided to go to war right outside of Earth. They destroyed our planet. Just before they did so, a spaceship of humans with an ark of Earth’s animals escaped. After flying around in space for a couple of years, they were attacked by aliens and driven to the planet Mira. Humans have built New LA, and are exploring the planet. There are hostile aliens, and hostile monster/creatures on this planet. Players join a group called BLADE to find the remaining survivors.

The storyline offers branching choices. Players also answer a variety of questions along the way. Do you report in your progress or boast about it? Players can run up to an enemy creature and attack it. Or run around them and try to avoid a conflict. Please note leveling up and grinding are needed to progress through certain battles. Enemies will drop items that can be better gear. Players can easily swap between up close and ranged weapons.

Some of the bad content in Xenoblade Chronicles X is nudity, enticement to lust, old Earth theory, Gnosticism, profanity, headache inducing camera swings, offensive lyrics, obnoxious music, violence, game glitches, long loading screens, blood, gore, voice acting like lines are being read off a page, online, and more. Xenoblade Chronicles X is definitely an adult only experience.

Players can add different characters to their team, and have characters in reserve. There is a relationship system where bonds are forged with the various characters on your team. The storyline is overused. Families can play Xenoblade Chronicles X offline thankfully. I still received annoying and sometimes offensive comments from the Miiverse about this game.

There are huge monsters in Xenoblade Chronicles X. Players will need to play Xenoblade Chronicles X long enough to get a mech. Guiding spots on the map will help players remember where to go next. Saves and fast travel keep Xenoblade Chronicles X from being totally boring. There are still some really boring portions of Xenoblade Chronicles X. Like exploring the sea by swimming in it.
