Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has been taking up most of my time when I'm not doing online multiplayer in Xenoverse 2.
The gameplay's, frankly, spectacular but the story's kinda been leaving a lot to desire... until now, which is about 60 hours in and partway through Chapter 6. Even then, the actual main character himself, Rex, ain't that interesting yet. Everyone else has been getting some depth - there was actually a nice and touching moment between two characters, and a revelation that I should have seen coming but opens up a lot of neat worldbuilding - but Rex himself is The Dude of this story, just kinda gliding along with everyone else, both the centre of attention and yet not really that engaging compared to everything else around him.
But hey! Dat gameplay, dat soundtrack.
