unlabelledView post →I tried to like this game, expecting some of the annoyances on the previous opus to be fixed... Well, I was disappointed. It's still absolutely grindy, with repetitive encounters all the way. (And avoiding them is possible, but you'll end up under leveled, which is a death sentence). More than half of my play time is spent in mindless combat against the same creatures, using the same spells and attacks... Graphically, it's good, slightly better than the previous opus. Storylines are decent…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Octopath Traveler 0 previews came out and it sounds like I'll love this game as much as I did Octopath Traveler I & II. For me, Octopath Traveler II is a Traditional RPG masterpiece on the level of Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger.
unlabelledView post →Game #11 of 2025 is Octopath Traveler II! ✨ This sequel improves on the original in almost every way — stronger character connections, tighter writing, and even more stunning HD-2D visuals. It scratches the classic JRPG itch with a modern, refined edge. An absolute gem for genre fans. 🤍
unlabelledView post →I really enjoyed myself.. up to a point. The moment I played the demo, I was in. Loved the look, loved the music, story wasn't a masterpiece but there were some characters I met that I wanted to see more of. The combat was fine from the abilities I could grab a hold of as it was still in its infancy that early in the game but as I progressed, I hit a problem. After I was done exploring a new area that was pleasing to the eyes, the only enjoyment I got was the boss fights that pose an…

unlabelledView post →Octopath Traveler 0 releases in one month! I'm a big fan of the Octopath Traveler series. I think Octopath Traveler II is as good a turn based RPG as any Square has ever developed. This is my most anticipated game for the rest of the year. Nothing else comes close.
unlabelledView post →I want to start with saying that the story and gameplay are good, the problem is how the two don't work together and causes jarring discrepancies between the gameplay and the story. From a gameplay perspective, this is mostly just Bravely Default's gameplay system, turn-based party combat since you'll have a party of 4 for the vast majority of the game unless you're actively trying a challenge run with less party members. As in Bravely Default, the gameplay is pretty good. However, the…

unlabelledView post →For transparency sake, I didn't complete the game. Furthermore, I only say I don't recommend it, because there is no "Maybe" option. This has been at the same time one of the best jrpg's i played, and also one of the worst. I'm going to mainly list the issues i have, but art, sound/music, combat, progression and even the writing itself are all wonderful and i very much like those. But...Man, is it weird. The whole idea that you have these eight characters, all with their own goals and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love the turn-based combat and the party skill mechanics, easily the strongest parts of the game. The combat stays fun throughout, and experimenting with different party setups is kinda fun. What I didn't enjoy was the story. It's average, with Osvald's storyline being the only one that truly kept me invested. The party chemistry also felt lacking. For a party-based RPG, the characters barely interact in meaningful ways, most of the interactions are just short, random conversations that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Octopath Traveler 2 is a game that ended up being a surprising disappointment to me, particularly given the general reverence folks have for it. I played the first Octopath Traveler and loved it quite a bit; the art style, presentation, breadth of content, battle system, and novelty of the character story system all worked for me quite a bit, and I sunk a lot of time into it including preparing for and beating the optional true final boss. I was prepared to enjoy OT2 as well, but while there…

unlabelledView post →Octopath Traveler II is so close to being a masterpiece. The game improves on many things from the first Octopath: the combat is still fantastic, the Boost system remains as satisfying as ever, and the new Latent Powers add just enough depth to keep battles interesting. The world map is great to explore, the music is incredible (including the remixes), and the game starts strong and ends with an amazing final chapter. Individually, the characters are great. Their personal stories are…

Plays perfectly on Steam Deck! If your looking for a discount, It's part of Humble choice for $20 CDN this month (June 2026).
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think the game just isn't for me, maybe. Played all the way through, as I guess I'm just a stubborn curmudgeon who refuses to pay so much money and not finish an experience. I do have some critiques though, as a lifelong lover of JRPG's, and I'll detail them here quickly for someone who wants something other than the glazing that this game typically receives. I wont touch on the story, which didn't grab me, but focus instead on the combat, and strategy -- which draws in a gamer like…

unlabelledView post →Octopath Traveler II was a great game and its soundtrack is even better. I always find myself coming back to this OST.
unlabelledView post →*Listening to Octopath Traveler II OST* I think this game is my favorite JRPG I've ever played. Wanna try to beat the final boss again someday now that I know I need to keep my A team and B team equally leveled lol
unlabelledView post →As someone who only finished 1 path of the first Octopath Traveler game, surely I will finish Octopath Traveler II 🤔
unlabelledView post →I'm a fair chunk of the way through the game, and I've got two thoughts: Mechanically, this is a fine JRPG with some interesting ideas. Storywise, it's a dud. There's genuinely an order of magnitude too much dialog, and I still don't know where I'm going or why. I ask myself if I'm going to finish it, and then I wonder... what will that consist of? Just running out of disconnected stories? Will there be any culmination at all?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The writing in Octopath 1 is simple, but largely exhibits common sense and sets up compelling and nuanced stories. The first game is also challenging, and requires engaging with the well thought out battle system. I was told that Octopath 2 was vastly superior to 1 in every way, and I was excited to play it for that reason. Unfortunately, I have found the writing to be absolutely atrocious, and sometimes unintentionally hilarious - but most of the time, it is annoying and unbearable. It has…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Octopath Traveler 2 is a game that knows what it is, for better or worse. The art style is the real winner here: nostalgic without being lazy and very reminiscent of FF6 for me. The music is excellent, which helps, because you’ll spend a lot of time listening to it while wandering through the game’s oddly disjointed world. Fantasy Mongolia? Fantasy Wild West? Sure, why not. It’s not seamless, but it’s charming in its own way. Eight hours in, I’ve got four characters, all from the eastern…

unlabelledView post →Good game overall. Good: - Upgraded combat system from OT1; - Class system is very enjoyable; - Soundtrack is quite nice; - Progression level of your starter character is well balanced. Bad: - "Are you in a journey? Can i join you?" - This is how dumb the recruitment of the other characters is. - Most stories were made for children. Most characters basically beat their enemies with the power of friendship; - Even tho you don't need Nuts at all, it still feels bad reaching the late game and…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A cute quirky little game that suffers from a meandering, directionless story. The individual character stories vary wildly in quality, ranging from "good enough to be its own entire game" to "none of that made any sense at all." Combat-wise it does some interesting things and has some cool gimmick bosses, but the game also pulls some extremely rude tricks -- while it has its surprise boss fights and instakill gimmicks, the final boss is the worst offender: it swaps out your overlevelled…

unlabelledView post →This was an absolutely incredible journey, The ending had me tugging at my heart strings and almost had me crying LOL. If you have the funds to play this game, this is A MUST PLAY!!! I don't usually leave reviews but I think this game deserves one. This is by far the greatest video game I've ever played. I can't recommended this enough.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finished the main stories and have concluded that Octopath Traveler II is indeed the better game. It still has its basic map design and skill check system. But its improvement in scenario design and storytelling keeps you engaged through the 8 stories. And probably the best JRPG battle system ever 🤔
unlabelledView post →I wish I could recommend this. The world and the art is very well made. But the leveling up mechanic forces you to grind too much, especially in the absence of a party levelling mechanic. You need to individually level up each character and swap them in and out of your party.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →#OctopathTraveler II was originally launched 3 years ago! ⭐ People were impressed by the first game, but the sequel became a GOTY contender even in 2023 (the year with MANY GOTY contenders)! Juicy story + pixel fans: this is the game for you. Review: www.rpgfan.com/review/octop...
unlabelledView post →Normally not one for reviews but this is a game that I felt the need to. I went into this game completely blind. My assumption is that it would be an absolutely beautiful game where travelers from 8 different paths converge and form together to tackle either a great threat or to aid one another in their endeavors. While beautiful, I was confused as after about 8 hours... why are there no "main story" beats? Why is no one talking to each other? Finally looking into it I was appalled to find out…

unlabelledView post →I had literally no intention of playing this game. Nothing about it appealed to me. Then my wife played it on Switch 2...and said, "this looks like a game you'd play!" So I got it for $20 and played it for 90+ hours until completion just to tell me wife that I don't like it, in fact I hate everything about it. She's wrong. ...Just kidding, it was really enthralling and visually stunning. 10/10 would recommend for any JRPG fan.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you liked the first Octopath Traveler, this one takes everything great about it and cranks it up even higher. The world, characters, music, and variety somehow all got better. It’s honestly crazy how much they improved something that was already amazing. The new addition that really stood out to me is being able to get a boat through the merchant character. You can actually sail between the two big continents and even find hidden islands scattered across the ocean. It makes exploring feel…

I promise you this game will not dissapoint you, if you're even slightly interested or intrigued by the JRPG genre, and I genuinely cannot praise this game enough. For starters. It's Square Enix, and this is the 2nd game in the series. Besides the gorgeous graphics, the amazing gameplay, and the wonderful soundtrack, they've pretty much polished up every aspect of the game and made it better in every way compared to the first…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The random encounters are way too excessive, I'm just trying to explore the world and I'm getting bombarded by fodder enemies every 5 seconds.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is an interesting experience. I play on a mix of PC and steam deck so the game time is off, I've got around 30 hours in the game at this point, which means I enjoyed it but.. I'm also done at this point. I think I've had enough of it, and I just don't feel enough draw to the mix of stories to keep going. One or two of them I do wish I could see through, but to do so you have to do so much work on the other ones and it just isn't worth it now that I've gotten what I feel like is the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just did a 100% completion of the game and I can say without a doubt that it's a masterpiece. It improves significantly on the first game improving on the noticeable flaws of that such as the balancing of some classes and the grind that can piss a lot of people off. The music is just as iconic as it was in the first game. There is absolutely zero need to grind levels or to get any rare items with a 2% drop chance to beat this. The theming of this game is much more cohesive and it adds to the…

unlabelledView post →Octopath Traveler II does what 95% of sequels constantly fail to do: It builds upon its predecessor, refines it, expands it and makes it better in EVERY... SINGLE... WAY. This game, however, will play very similarly like the first one in many ways, so in order to avoid redundancy, I'll leave the link to my first Octopath Traveler review because most points will come back into the second game (with most CONS being addressed).
