I liked it, but it was a huge step down from XC1.
Game play (battle system) was the best part, so if you didn't even like that, then damn...
story was atrocious and the exploration by far the worst in the XC series.

The only thing I disliked about the game was how heavily they relied on skill checks from your blades near the end of the game. I felt like I spend a quarter to half my time in the menus trying to find the right combination of blades to pass a skill check. Not fun at all.

Torna the Golden Country is so much better than the main game, it's what XC2 should've been. No damn field checks to progress places (just gather extra resources or discover some optional areas), no gacha mini game for blades (cause they're all story-gained and only 6 of them total, but...I'll take that over praying to RNG hundreds of times and coming up empty), you can actually play as the Blades as characters just like the humans, and even the exploration is better.
Danagh desert region was by far my favorite place in XC2, and it interconnects to the other regions of Torna nicely. Hated how disjointed all the titans were in XC2 w/ no way to travel between other than by air ship / fast travel.
Plot is still bad, though.
