Right now, on 1/25/18, XC2 is my favorite Switch game AND arguably the BEST Switch game (for years to come). Kindly don't compare this gem of a game with a garbage sports title, thank you.
I'm a huge RPG fan from the early 90s and I just started playing it not too far into it but last night about 3 hours in this part of the story really got me entertained and wanting to play more. I'm early into the combat but it seems promising.
Don't get frustrated or overwhelmed...!!!! It's a grind at first to learn the combat, but it's soooooo worth it once you figure everything out. I had never played an RPG like this and swore Zelda was the best Nintendo franchise. Now after 100 hours I can say that this might be the best game Nintendo has ever released.
