Dunkey's review makes the game not look very good lol
Xenoblade 3 is a very good game but it's not for everyone. If you didn't like prior Xenoblade games you won't like this either.
Although I would say it is the most 'Nintendofied' of them all, certainly doing away with much of the lewdness of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 but also infusing a heavy dose of NIER-like melancholy at the same time.
The tone is pretty weird, people are getting murdered left and right and some even kill themselves or attempt to but the game is sort of dancing around that with plot armors.
It has some very great moments though, just not as consistent as Xenoblade Chronicles. Still, this is personally my favorite Xenoblade game of them all.
Dunkey's not much of an RPG fan and a significant subset of the Nintendo fanbase is sort of tired of Nintendo's focus on RPG's. They'd much rather see Nintendo develop more action games and classic IP's like Mario, Zelda, Starfox etc. .
Nintendo however has heavily doubled down on series like Xenoblade and Fire Emblem. So as of late they've released as many if not more Fire Emblem games than Mario games in various shapes and sizes.
Since Mario Kart 8 and Pikmin 3 released, Nintendo released Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Xenoblade 2, Xenoblade 2: Torna the Golden Country, Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, Xenoblade Chronicles: Future Connected, and Xenoblade 3 and we'll likely see a Xenoblade Chronicles 3 spin-off before we see Mario Kart 9. On the third party side, Nintendo came up with the idea for the likes of a Live a Live remaster and made quite an effort to get SMTV to their platform. Prior to Switch Nintendo's platforms were never this RPG heavy.
