I’m surprised to say, there is a new candidate for #bestgirl.Įntire continents are sinking due to ancient weapons destroying everything in their wake, leaving our heroes to seek shelter even if it means leaving innocents behind to die. Her story is immediately relatable as she searches for her presumably deceased mother, looming in the shadow of a wider conflict known as the ‘Aegis War’ that goes onto shape the world of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 we’ve come to know. Lora is one such warrior, and you’ll stumble upon many throughout The Golden Country’s lengthy campaign. However, she’s not alone, having been accompanied by a Blade known as Jin, a face fans of the expansion’s predecessor will surely recognise.īlades are beings born from Core Crystals, bonding with specially-trained humans known as Drivers. Taking place 400 years before the events of Xenoblade Chronicles 2, you play as Lora, a young woman who has spent her life surviving in the harsh world of Alrest. If you were a fan of last year’s outing, this is an essential journey well worth taking. Such additions are accompanied by a cast of characters and a emotional narrative that really shines at times, despite it seldom breaking new ground. Torna – The Golden Country builds upon such quality with a new, standalone expansion that improves on a number of niggles that made the original an occasional frustration. Monolith Soft’s latest effort wasn’t without its flaws, but effectively surpassed them with a stunning world, engaging combat and a story that charmed and surprised in equal measure.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was a fantastic swansong for the Nintendo Switch ’s opening year, closing off months of stellar exclusives with a JRPG that could easily absorb hundreds upon hundreds of hours.
