Full review of the new "Torna – The Golden Country: Xenoblade Chronicles 2" for Nintendo Switch.
More:
"It was a massive, endearing, wonderful adventure on a system that is still struggling for new content. It came out far earlier in the Switch’s lifespan than it had any right to – I’m still flummoxed by how such an impressively massive game got out of the gates in the consoles first year – and here we are not a year later with a big, generous expansion to that game in Torna – The Golden Country. Using the solid groundwork of the original and running with it in interesting directions, Torna deserves to be picked up by everyone who loved Xenoblade Chronicles 2."
Xeno fans rejoice! The six-part saga has finally been told!
Xenogears was originally supposed to be a six part series, but Squaresoft cut the budget for the first game and canceled future plans. Xenosaga, published by Bandai Namco, was its spritual successor, and it too was supposed to be a six part series but was cut to a trilogy after subpar sales for Xenosaga 2.
Future Redeemed is by far the best DLC of the Xenoblade series, achieving its lofty goals of introducing new characters, reconnecting with older ones, and closing a narrative that Monolith Soft’s main man Tetsuya Takahashi has been trying to tell since 1998.
Daily Video Game writes: "If you’re looking for new Japanese made games to play on your Nintendo Switch this weekend, the online retailer Amazon is running various of them on sale with up to 50% off right now!"
Amazon has discounted the physical version of Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna ~ The Golden Country to $32.52.
