![]() ![]() ![]() Lora’s story was touched upon in Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and whilst you’ll benefit from playing through the main story, it’s not entirely necessary – Torna the Golden Country works very well as a standalone experience, so don’t fret about that too much. You’ll be playing through the expansion as driver Lora along with her blades Jin (who you may recognise as a main antagonist from the main game) and Haze. ![]() Torna’s story can be just as emotional as the original at times. Having said that, though, it’s still a beautiful game – the new areas of Torna in particular look unique enough from the world of Gormott that it’s easy to distinguish one from the other. What this also means, though, is that the game once again looks far better in docked mode than it does in handheld, so if you like playing on the go, you’ll have to come to terms with the fact that it will look a bit blurred compared to how it looks on the big screen. It looks nearly identical in terms of visuals, displaying the same sweeping environments and varied character models that fans have come to expect. Straight away, Torna the Golden Country feels satisfyingly familiar if you’ve already played the main Xenoblade Chronicles 2 story. But is it any good? Yes, but with a few caveats. Set before the events of the main game, it offers a deeper look into some of the main game’s side characters whilst introducing a few new gameplay concepts to boot. Following hot on the heels of the Champion’s Ballad expansion for Breath of the Wild and the Octo Expansion for Splatoon 2, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has now gained its own meaty expansion in the form of Torna – The Golden Country. Whilst they’ve been a part of the gaming industry for a good few years now, the very concept is still pretty fresh for titles associated with Nintendo. Like it not, DLC expansions are here to stay. ![]()
