An EXCELLENT remaster of the original Xenoblade Chronicles that was on Nintendo Wii.
Great soundtrack, great environments, great story.
If you do not already know, the brilliant mind of XB Chronicles on Wii/Switch was largely responsible for Xenogears on PlayStation in 1998 (and the subsequent Xenosaga titles on PS2).

I do enjoy Vanillaware’s library of games. I’m actually playing Odin Sphere on PS4.
13 Sentinels is another solid title by VW. I rated it 4/5 because it is a bit slow for my liking, but the story is pretty intricate and the strategy aspects are a lot of fun so far. Love the artwork and that Atlus publishes these games.

I had never heard of this title prior to scrolling through Best Buy’s Switch titles on the morning of the game’s physical release. I picked it up and have not been disappointed. Hopefully PS4 gets a release someday as well.
