If you own a Switch and have enjoyed JRPGs in the past, then you should get it, absolutely. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is an essential JRPG for fans of the genre. Here's the final summary of Dave's review: By virtue of its massive explorable world and the memorable cast of characters, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is an easy recommendation to any Nintendo Switch owner.
