While it still leaves room for improvement, OctopathTraveler2 delivers another strong retro RPG with excellent combat.
Octopath Traveler 2 MSRP $59.99 Score Details DT Recommended Product “Octopath Traveler 2 builds on its predecessor's strengths to create another charming retro RPG.” Pros Cons When Octopath Traveler launched in 2018, it quietly kicked off a revolution. Square Enix’s retro RPG featured a unique art style that would usher in a new era of “HD-2D” games. The endearing pixel art complemented the 3D environments surprisingly well, resulting in Octopath Traveler’s timeless presentation.
Eight paths, eight stories Octopath Traveler 2 takes place in Solistia, which is a much more industrialized setting than the first game’s Osterra. The mix of modern technology like the steam engine and magical elements like curses and prophecies makes for a fascinating location. Like the first game, the tale follows eight separate characters across the world.
One of the biggest issues with the first Octopath Traveler is that the characters had very few crossovers between their own stories. The sequel unfortunately retains that same problem, though to a lesser degree. Osvald’s revenge quest doesn’t intersect with Castti’s journey to recover her own memories, which makes the narrative feel disparate rather than intricately woven together.
The battle system encourages me to strategize and adapt to different situations on the fly. Perhaps I was going to launch an all-out offensive on a boss, but then it signals that it will unleash its ultimate attack on its upcoming turn. As a result, I now have to prioritize breaking its shield so it doesn’t happen. It’s a delicate balance between saving up your BP when you need it the most to break shields and trying to optimize the limited time you have before enemies recover them.
