    Despite some of my issues with OCTOPATH TRAVELER 0, there was simply only one conclusion I could draw after finishing the game: the future of the series is bright and I couldn't be happier about that.
  2. In this Octopatch Traveler 0 Review, I share my personal experience with the game, focusing on its return to the series’ roots, nostalgic atmosphere, and modern gameplay choices, highlighting both its strengths and weaknesses.

    Octopath Traveler 0 is a fine JRPG that has a weird mix of capitalizing on the series’ strengths while also deviating from them. It finds reasons to pull you out of the narrative, even if it drops a hooking moment, and combat rarely feels challenging. But when the story and combat grip you, you become completely invested. Square Enix and DokiDoki have certainly created an expansive game, but dialing in on what made the series so beloved could have delivered the perfect conclusion to one of the best JRPG series in recent years.

    Despite finding it tedious to repeat missions I had already concluded in Champions of the Continent and being disappointed with its lack of true focus on a layered piece of narrative, I did have fun.

    It's not the best Octopath Traveler, but you will enjoy playing it. [Recommended]
