Console Creatures - Bobby Pashalidis - 9 / 10

Xenoblade Chronicles X is an ambitious and sprawling RPG that excels in exploration, world-building, and strategic combat.


Destructoid - Steven Mills - 10 / 10

Monolith Soft went the extra mile and added meaningful new content and quality-of-life features that actually improved on what was already a masterpiece experience. The Definitive Edition treatment makes Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition one of the best JRPGs on the Switch, and a must-play for fans of the genre.


Digitec Magazine - Domagoj Belancic - German - 5 / 5

Despite its streamlined gameplay mechanics, the “Definitive Edition” of “Xenoblade Chronicles X” is still a very complex and sometimes exhausting game. But if you invest the necessary time and energy in the title, you will be rewarded with countless magical goosebump moments.

The fantastically beautiful sci-fi game world is full of dangers and surprises. The addictive combat system offers an incredible amount of flexibility and variety. And the massive mechs are one of the coolest things I’ve ever had the pleasure of controlling in a game. In short: “Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition” is one of the best role-playing games and one of the best Switch games of all time.

Xenoblade Chronicles X was a very ambitious game that debuted on a practically dying console. But right now you can confidently say that you have found a perfect example of a game ahead of its time. This definitive edition not only shows the strength of the series, but jRPG genre as a whole.


Saudi Gamer - Arabic - 8 / 10

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition offers an immersive experience for fans of open-world RPGs, with a massive world and engaging combat system, along with significant improvements to the graphics and user interface. Despite some minor flaws, the improvements and additions make it an experience well worth your time and attention.


XGN.nl - Simon Kwee - Dutch - 9 / 10

Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition is a true joy to play, in no small part thanks to quality of life improvements in the UI, and gameplay tweaks that streamline the experience significantly. Add to that the new story content that clears up several loose ends of the original and you have a certified must-play for fans and newcomers alike.

Fantastic game, glad it’s finally getting updated and getting the cliffhanger ending resolved.

That said, the original XBX still looks extremely good (at least when emulated at modern resolutions). For an HD remaster I haven’t actually noticed any real visual improvements other than the character models being better.
