    Like the first game, the sequel is underdeveloped and overpriced. It is just a very generic JRPG.
    It has improved but the price tag is still far higher than it is worth.
    Square Enix like many other publishers constantly burn their resources then expect the customers to pay for overpriced products like this to make up for their incompetence. Would have given the game 6/10 if it was    Like the first game, the sequel is underdeveloped and overpriced. It is just a very generic JRPG.

    Sure if youre dumb enough to spend 2023 cash on a 1990 style game go for it

    “IF” the game didnt put you to sleep immediately it MIGHT have been worth 19$
    It doesnt even do that. This price and release from se is honestly pathetic.
    Id rather try Forspoken again then acknowledge this game exists

    Lol.
    Niche game. And now a niche company.
    Cannot believe the audacity of trying to pass off this game at 60$ and calling its ridiculous lack of texture detail an artistic decision, instead of what it really is, which is a cop out on putting real effort into a game. Avoid at all costs.

    While there are still some improvements to be made in terms of difficulty balancing and dungeon designs, Octopath Traveler 2 makes meaningful improvements over the original and manages to realize most of its lofty ambitions, culminating into an experience not to be missed by any JRPG fan.

    Octopath Traveler got a mobile spinoff and a sequel for a reason. It was a successful bridge between SNES-era turn-based RPGs and modern gaming expectations, and it offered engaging gameplay that could suck away hours of free time. Octopath Traveler 2 is more of the same with side quests, interesting characters, and a large world to explore. It essentially gives fans of the first game an additional 60 hours of what they already enjoyed, and newcomers can jump right into the sequel without worrying about what they might have missed.

    While a bit too similar to it's predecessor, Octopath Traveler II is still a fantastic JRPG, that hits all the right notes... Quite literally, as it also has one of the best OSTs in recent memory.
