12 Nintendo Switch Exclusives - Ranked From Worst To Best

8. Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Nintendo

Pegged as something of a followup to Breath of the Wild as far as gargantuan worlds filled with towering creatures are concerned, Xenoblade Chronicles is a far more tactile beast combat-wise than the latest Legend of Zelda.

Playing as young boy Rex as you join up with a band of sky-pirates, it's the world of Alrest and Hudson Soft's phenomenal art direction that makes this all worth exploring.

Almost feeling like it's been designed with dropping jaws in mind, various sky kingdoms often stretch off into the distance, wrapping back around or stretching up and off into further destinations unknown.

Along the way you'll rank Rex up with a number of abilities that help with the game's real-time combat. You'll plan moves and recruit newcomers to your cause, learn how to freeze time and pull off epic specials - essentially, it's an RPG world the likes of which hasn't graced the industry in years, sewn together with a solidly propulsive story and fun characters.
