story
5 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story receives mixed feedback, with some finding it slow or unexciting, especially due to level gating and a silent protagonist, while others appreciate its deep connections to prior games and its blend of exploration and character-driven missions. Despite pacing issues, the engaging world, mech combat, and overarching alien threat provide a compelling backdrop that motivates players to continue.
“A sprawling world that begs you to explore it and get lost in, combat that feels fast and engaging, yet strategic at the same time, missions lead you to explore the planet and bring you closer to the characters and the world you’re trying to save.”
“The story isn’t that exciting and can drag a bit as you have to be a high enough level to complete main missions. The silent protagonist doesn’t really add much to the experience, visuals look great, but music in certain areas can sound out of place.”
“If you're not enthralled by the story, the game can feel like a bit of a drag, but even then, it's got a strong hook with its deep RPG mechanics and an ace up its sleeve that is mech combat and exploration, making the journey absolutely worthwhile.”
“There is a lot to do to keep humanity thriving on Mira and an encroaching threat of aliens will keep players guessing where the story will go and how it all connects to the prior Xeno games.”
