Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Review

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is another heartfelt adventure paired with some of the best combat in the series.

The premise of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is a bit unusual, but it sets the stage for a 100-hour epic through a fascinating world with strong characters and rewarding combat. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 may stumble from time to time, particularly in its dialogue, but its ambitious premise pays off with a heartfelt conclusion.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is, oddly enough, the fourth game in the Xenoblade Chronicles series, all of which are loosely tied to the long-running sci-fi fantasy ‘Xeno’ franchise. As Monolith Soft’s director, Tetsuya Takahashi, put it in an interview with Time in 2015: “The ‘Xeno’ name […] really just exists to make it clear that these are Tetsuya Takahashi productions.”

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 comes to Nintendo Switch on July 29, 2022.
