Octopath Traveler 2 review

Exceptional

by Rogueh

Octopath Traveler 2 is an enchanting RPG, where the intertwined tales of its eight travelers and the gorgeous HD-2D aesthetic weave a captivating narrative tapestry. On stream, its tactical battles and the flavorful NPC dialogues shine, making it a perfect pick for fans of classic RPGs. However, slow combat pacing, a dense interface, and uneven performance on Switch hold the adventure back, making certain segments feel less fluid. Compared to Bravely Default II, it is more epic in scale but less accessible overall. At its price (often discounted to 29.99 € from 59.99 €), it is a must-play for tactical RPG enthusiasts on PS5, Xbox Series, or PC, with a solid — if not perfectly smooth — experience on Switch for those craving nostalgia. A memorable odyssey, slightly weighed down by its own mechanics. Full review here: https://rogueh24.fr/test-du-jeu-octopath-traveler-ii/
