Well, I hope that this Torna – The Golden Country Review proves to you that it is. The question now was, would it be worth the purchase? Monolith Soft revealed afterward their plans for a new story chapter/addition that would expand upon the world, which later would be revealed to be a prequel to the game detailing the fall of Torna. Including, in my opinion, giving a heartwarming ending that might just bring a tear to your eye. Indeed, though it took a bit to get running, once the story got its rhythm it truly soared. But it adds an extra bit of excitement and keeps the game from feeling like more of the same.When Xenoblade Chronicles 2 released, it revealed a whole new world full of life, wonder, and mysteries to be solved.
It's not an overly dramatic change, so fans should still feel familiar with the overall controls. Having one out allows the other to rest, and swapping can initiate powerful combo moves, giving the action an almost fighting game feel. The Golden Country adds a few new tricks, such as swapping quickly between the Blade and the Driver weapons. One big change in the expansion is in the combat.
It doesn't ever feel small, though, just more compact, which is a nice change of pace. In fact, the entire campaign is only a third the size of the main game. But with the expansion's focus on one area, Torna, there's much less ground to cover. You can still expect to spend a fair amount of time on foot as you explore the vast open world. The menus and user interface still take a while to get used to and are still frustrating to navigate through. Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna ~ The Golden Country follows the idea that "if it was good enough last time, it'll be good enough here." Little has changed in the expansion, short of a slight visual upgrade. It's just that there are very few surprises, because everything is meant to telegraph what's to come. That's not to say the story isn't compelling, because it certainly is and knows how to tug at the heartstrings. But if you've already played and beaten the main game, you can't help but feel like you already know how everything's going to turn out. If you're a newcomer playing this content before completing (or even starting) Xenoblade Chronicles 2, you open yourself up to a lot of spoilers. But being a prequel puts the game in a strange position.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna ~ The Golden Country is a standalone prequel that answers some lingering questions but generally serves up events of the main game by giving players a chance to be active participants in the legends they only heard about. This prequel expansion to last year's large-scale adventure might be a bit smaller than the original game, but it packs just enough content to keep fans hooked on the story.
