Really fires the neurons.
The one I don't get, is X. X is my favorite of the three but even I'll admit the game is an obtuse government work simulator dipped in Xeno colors. I would have thought a game like this would be cancer for critics.
Game """"journalism"""" devolved into speedruning games to shit out reviews as fast as possible after XC1 released.
Not saying that 2 didnt deserve that score, but X is heavily underated, and guess what, it wasn't a game for trash journalists.
Also Torna has worse combat. I really dont like what they did with usable swords and the easy orbs
Pacing.

Lol
X story is a let down
>torna's story unfortunately turned out to be a huge let down
pearls before swine
The second half is fucking trash, don't kid anyone. All the villains are just inferior one note versions of other xeno villains, and shit constantly comes out of left field. Zanza has THREE scenes. THREE.
His motivation is that he was lonely ?
The worst part is they really could have shown that and made that interesting, they could have expanded on him and showed that he gave shit to his people but they weren't grateful so he turned. Instead we just get one line about how he was lonely and then we see him acting like a chuuni. And don't get me started on Dickson, he's saturday morning cartoon level. Compare that to any other xeno game. Even Malos has valid points, and even if he seems just like a psychopath you can still explain it through Amalthus and what happened to him.
Xenoblade - 80
Xenoblade X - 85
Xenoblade 2 - 95
Torna - 90
Xenoblade 1 is full of twist and the story remain interesting the end even in your "ending" with all the devellopement aroudn Shulk & others characters. Saying XC1 ending is weak is LOL
