However, it also has a couple of cons that for many people will be the deciding factor of whether they should play this or not, and these are, the almost non-existent interaction between its eight characters, its somewhat… artificial vibe, and the lack of a decent main plot.Octopath Traveler 2 is a turn-based party JRPG developed by Square Enix and ACQUIRE Corp. Its ‘HD-02’ visual style is beautiful the music is great the world is very big, non-linear, and full of things to do the characters can be customised in many different ways and, finally, the combat is fast, yet tactical, simple, yet deep.

Octopath Traveler has many little and big pros. For good and bad, Octopath Traveler evokes the games of the past, and for a lot of us, we miss the bad as much as we do the good. And while some of the writing and voice acting stumbles in places, that’s kind of part of the charm. The style is confident, from the music to the character designs, to the lighting and motion blur, this is a game that knows what it is about. The turn-based combat is very engaging, as are the soapy stories.

They really don’t make games like they used to, and this is the most playable old-school JRPG I can remember in forever. While I do wish that Octopath had a bit more off-the-wall ambition the fact is that it definitely accomplishes what it set out to do.
