I made it 22 hours into X2 before saying ENOUGH. That game has zero respect for the gamer's time, the combat is too slow and the whole game is far too complicated for its own good, especially its AWUL MAP. I'm not saying I couldn't figure things out. I'm just saying it was complicated it became not fun. And I'm annoyed because I bought the season pass/deluxe edition for the thing.
By far the game I regret buying the most on the Switch, and I LOVED the first Xenoblade (one of my favorite RPGs ever, - couldn't put it down - but didn't play Chronicles X).
Maybe this prequel will address some of my problems, but I doubt it.
