10 Greatest Role-Playing Games Of The Last Ten Years

8. Xenoblade Chronicles

Xenoblade Chronicles Review

Now, I've only been able to play this game for a few hours because I don't have a Wii but let me tell you, it's a hell of a game.

Had I been to play it more it might've even been higher on this list. The game is visually beautiful to see and it has some fantastic cut scenes. The fighting sequences are not only fun but they're challenging and in depth. The game has such a massive world that the sandbox seems endless. With what seems like hundreds of missions to do, Xenoblade is in that rare category. The category that involves you to take over 100 hours to complete.

Your job in the game is simple, eliminate all robot monsters that threaten you and your land. The game lays out a great foundation for what's to come. It's simple really, it's revenge. The main protagonist's name is Shulk who is always accompanied by his faithful sword Monado. Monando is a mystical blade that can help Shulk do many things, like see into the the future, as his blade continues to grow in power along with Shulk. Now I'm not going to completely give away the story, just in case you haven't already played the first 7 on this list.

However if you have and you have a Wii, Xenoblade Chronicles is the way to go.
