I loved XCX but got overwhelmed trying to 100% it. I think I had 125 hours in the game and I hadn't gone past chapter 3. Just so much to do, and worse yet, a TON of missable moments and connections. There being so many missables and a lack of information online made me reluctantly put it down. It was incredible while it lasted, however. Exploration was the best in the series.

XC1 was meh, and then you hit Graur Plains and see the scope of the game and it becomes this incredible experience. I'm pretty sure I was one of the only ones with a complete affinity chart at the time I beat it. I was walking around the entire world, speaking to every npc every 3 hours (in-game), with every single party member lol

XC2 is awesome, but I thought it was the weakest of them all. Still worth a playthrough if you enjoy Xenoblade in general. My game tip is to nudge your character around after every first hit of your weapon. Fills the gauge way faster and makes the combat feel more engaging.
