Xenoblade Chronicles X impressions: Size matters

With Starfox Zero being delayed into 2016, Nintendo’s biggest holiday release – both figuratively and literally – is Xenoblade Chronicles X, the followup to the critically acclaimed 2012 Wii RPG (re-released for the New 3DS earlier this year).

Xenoblade Chronicles X follows the exploits of a post-Earth humanity, forced to flee from the destruction of our home planet to resettle on a faraway alien world. It’s been claimed that its world is bigger than those of The Witcher 3 and Skyrim, and that assertion holds weight in terms of sheer gameplay content. Xenoblade is filled with things to do, with a myriad of sidequests to partake in and plenty to discover just by wandering around.
