Back in 2015, I picked up Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Wii U. Like a lot of JRPG fans at the time, I was drawn to its massive open world, deep systems, and ambitious scale.

Back in the anime’s heyday, I spent countless hours battling it out in the Bleach DS games, and for years, I kept hoping we’d see the series return to the world of video games.

After setting the gold standard for co-op gaming with It Takes Two, the team had a tough act to follow. Could they capture that same magic twice? The answer, after spending hours grinning from ear to ear playing Split Fiction, is a resounding yes.
