Beat Torna: The Golden Country. Very happy with it!
It may only be a bite sized adventure compared to the main game, but it's still a great package with lots of content and almost everything I'd want out of a Xenoblade experience. Starting out I didn't feel all that much for the characters, but by the end things did feel a bit emotional even though (or perhaps because) I knew what was going to happen to most of them.
Lots of good stuff in here anyway, Auresco, the capital of Torna, is a great town that totally compares to towns in the main game, the entire continent of Torna is pretty and it's interesting to revisit/previsit Gormott. The battle system works fine, it's similar enough to the base game that it's easy to get into but at the same time gives you enough new takes on mechanics to make things interesting, the side quests are good even though I wished the community feature would have been closer to the affinity system of the first game, and the plot makes me appreciate certain characters from the main game even more. Also, it's got the creepiest monster design in any Xenoblade game. Gort in his Blade Eater form is nightmare fuel. Could just as well have been an enemy design from Doom Eternal or something.
I will say that the end of the DLC has some problems with making things artificially longer though. Forcing the player to do a ton of sidequests before the final confrontation with Malos doesn't sit right with me from a design standpoint or a plot standpoint considering the urgency of the whole situation. It didn't have much of an effect on me personally since I'm the type of guy who would round up all the sidequests I can before beating the game anyway, and the sidequests are fairly high quality and all, but making things mandatory like that is bad design, IMO.
Also, the end game could have done without as many fights where new enemies keep spawning, especially since the final boss fight is one of those multiple phase deals with tons of cinematics and drama. They could have cut back on some of that and made the Gort fight something more involved and the DLC would basically have been perfect, I think. |
