Xenoblade Chronicles 2

During the most recent Nintendo Direct, it was revealed that Pyra/Mythra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 would be the next DLC fighter for Smash Bros Ultimate. Today Nintendo of America revealed that we’d get a stand alone video about the fighters next month! Mr. Sakurai Presents Pyra/Mythra will air on March 4th at 8:00am central. According to Nintendo the broadcast will be an “in-depth look” at the fighter(s) and “also reveal the fighter’s release date”. We have seen Sakurai do videos…

And now we have arrived at the final part of my Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna – The Golden Country review-in-progress. Check out parts 1, 2, 3, and 4. In this part, I’ll reach a conclusion on how good Torna is and give the game a score! Torna – The Golden Country is just as good as the Xenoblade Chronicles 2, if not better in some places. Yes, the game is shorter than Xenblade Chronicles 2 and there are not as…

Nintendo and Adam Roffel sent me on a trip to Torna, the Golden Country, recently. Here are some of the short letters that I wrote to my twitter friends while I was there. Hey Adam Roffel, Thanks for setting up this trip to Torna. I haven’t had a vacation in forever. Please tell Nintendo I said thanks too. So far, things are pretty interesting here. I met a young woman named Lora and her blade Jin. They saved me from…

Parts 1, 2, and 3 of my Torna – The Golden Country review-in-progress are already up. In part 4, I will talk about the game’s graphics. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is wonderful looking but I think Torna looks better! The characters in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 have always had a unique cel-shaded look to them, but Torna takes it to the next level. In cutscenes, especially, the characters in this game look animated movie quality good with more realistic expressions and better…

Check out part 1 and 2 of my Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna -The Golden Country review-in-progress. Part 3 will focus on the new community and camping aspects of the game! Torna -The Golden Country introduces a new menu option, the Community section. With this menu, you can track people you’ve taken sidequests from and also just people you’ve met in general. As you journey throughout Torna, you’ll add more and more people to this menu. Complete quests for the people…

Check out part 1 of my review-in-progress. In part 2, I talk about Torna’s battle system. I’ve already said that its better than Xenoblade Chronicles 2’s system. Why is that? How do you improve on something that is already so good? I’m usually not a fan of auto-attacking combat but Xenoblade Chronicles 2 made their battle system very interesting by giving players options when it came to special attacks for your main person and sometimes other people in your group.…

Adam Roffel, GamesReviews.com’s editor-in-chief, asked me if I wanted to review Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna -The Golden Country for the Nintendo Switch. I said yes right away. I had played Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and liked it. I wasn’t sure if I’d ever get to play Torna though because I had been busy playing other games. I have a free slot of time now and I’m more than ready to take a trip to Torna! Here is part 1 of my…
