Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was one of 2017’s best Nintendo Switch RPGs, and today marks the launch of its first big “DLC”. I put that in quotes, because this sucker is basically a whole new prequel game to www.lolga.com Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It’s got dozens of hours of story filling in the history of the game, with familiar characters, and a refined battle and crafting system to boot. If you liked any of the Xenoblade games so far, you’re in for a treat. This is our review of Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna - The Golden Country.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 takes place 500 years before the main game’s story. And while DLC Season Pass purchasers can play Torna starting today, the rest of the world can buy it as a standalone game on September 21. While there Rocket League Items will be a whole lot more story that makes sense if you play XBC2 first, this is technically a prequel, and you can go in knowing nothing and still understand the characters and what’s happening in the world as you play. Just note that it’s $40 as a standalone, and only $30 as part of the DLC pass.
Now, one of the things Torna touts is a revamped combat system - it’s still a quasi-MMO-like combat system. Meaning, if you like combat in Final Fantasy XII or generally like Tab-Target auto-attack combat in MMOs, you’re going to feel at home here. Only in Torna, the fights generally take a lot less time, as the enemy TTK is way better tuned this time around. In the original game, fights often dragged on with minor enemies longer than they needed to, and it made combat feel like a drag.
