Alana Hagues at Nintendo Life has a soapbox post entitled Xenoblade Chronicles X’s Influence Is Bigger Than You Think.

I first played Xenoblade Chronicles X in 2016, when I had recently obtained a 2nd-hand Wii U to explore some of the unique titles it offered. I was quite impressed, and the Gamepad features really delivered useful features like the map. Furthermore, I recall posting to Miiverse at the time at how cool the massive creature designs were compared to No Man’s Sky on my PS4 (the game was a little sparse on launch, but has obviously grown and improved since then).
