Xenoblade Chronicles 2 2017

Is it still worth playing?

Monolith Soft's 2017 action role playing game for the Nintendo Switch, the third in the Xenoblade series. It is set in Alrest, a world where people live on giant living Titans above a sea of clouds, and follows Rex, a young salvager who meets Pyra, a legendary Blade. Combat is real time, with you controlling one of three party members while the others attack on their own. It is built in layers. Each Driver wields up to three Blades, each Blade is a tank, healer or attacker in one of eight elements, and Arts, Blade Combos, Driver Combos and Chain Attacks sit on top. The Titans are large, with a day night cycle that affects quests and enemies, and fast travel. Layered combat across large worlds packed with hidden items and side quests still makes it worth playing today.
