First 13 hours of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 – I like it but I want to explore more

What it said in the title. The downside of playing a story-heavy RPG like Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is that you’re limited in where you can go and what you can do for much of the game. It isn’t a true “open world” for now, though I know for sure the whole world will open up […]
