Our quick take

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - 4.5 / 5

A world at war

Mountains of gameplay

A visual leap

To recap

This is a brilliant JRPG that brings everything the genre has with it, from a fun cast of characters to a sprawling world to explore in your own time. It’s got masses of content to get through, and the number of systems to keep track of means it won’t be for everyone. If you’ve been looking for your next long-term obsession, though, this could be the answer.
