| Samus Aran said: Famitsu or user reviews shouldn't be taken seriously... Famitsu gave this game a 33/40 and Xenoblade Chronicles X a 34/40... Dengeki, a Japanese gaming publication, called the game a masterpiece and praised the story direction. To counter ryuzaki's review there's Tachi who called it the best current-gen game so far. |
They shouldn't be taken seriously, yes, but they game it a lower score than the original. The trend of individual reviewers is more important than the score when it comes to sequels.
I may be wrong, since this is from my memory of Tachi's posts, but I think she also said that the story wasn't fabulous either, even though she really liked the game.
And to respond to Nuvendil, if you look at the Kotaku reviewers comments in the comment section, he specifically states that the major drawback of XCX is that the story is signficantly worse.
