Set amidst the backdrop of war, Xenoblade Chronicles puts you in the boots of two idealistic heroes embarking on a quest to end an eternal cycle of violence. It's easily one of the best-looking games on the Switch, with massive fantasy landscapes, flashy battle animations, and imaginative monster designs, it pushes the Nintendo hardware to the bleeding edge of what's possible on it.

Compared to previous Xenoblade games, the third entry is essentially a fresh start for the franchise. It's still a complex title that throws you right in the deep end when you start it, but if you can survive the sink-or-swim opening, you'll find that it's a heartfelt adventure paired with some of the best combat in the series to date.

"Xenoblade Chronicles 3 feels like the game Monolith Soft has been trying to craft for years," Jake Dekker wrote in GameSpot's Xenoblade Chronicles 3 review. "While its dialogue could have used an extra pass, it more than makes up for it with its wonderful story and superb combat. It's rare for a JRPG to hold my attention for a 100-hour runtime, but Xenoblade Chronicles 3 did it with confidence."

A few more Switch deals are available right now, if you're looking for some new entertainment for your system. Bayonetta 3 has been discounted to its best price yet on Amazon, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is currently on sale for $50, and preorders are now live for Batman: Arkham Trilogy.

And if you want to check out the first game in the Xenoblade Chronicles series, the Definitive Edition for Nintendo Switch is $50 at Amazon.
