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.
