Customer Ratings & Reviews

Oh my god. This game was amazing! The music is phenomenal and Yasunori Nishikk stays true to the sound of the series. The Octopaths are all such great people each with a heart of gold. I have cried(a lot), laughed, and geeked out screaming at so many moments. The stories were engaging and left you wondering at times. I just started the final chapter involving all the characters but I know the game does not disappoint! It’s based on old-school turn-based RPGs so you have to GRIND. But it’s worth it if you have a love for the game.

Outstanding game through and through. The art style is truly one of a kind and brings me right back to retro game nostalgia. Great deal and comes with the steelbook, would buy again!

I loved the first one and this one is even more epic, I appreciate the updates to gameplay

I love this game and have put many of fun hours into it

If you loved the first game then Octopath Traveler 2 will be a great game! It expands gameplay, story, and art. If you love JRPGs on Switch, this is a must play.

This sequel is a high quality improvement of the first game. They’ve improved on the already stellar first game. Nod to classic JRPGs

Graphics were on point and the shortcomings of the first game were addressed. Couldnt be happier with my purchase.

After waiting a while you can finally buy at retail price without falling into resellers, an excellent video game

Caught this on sale with free Steelbook, my backlog of games is huge, but I couldn't pass this up.

Such a Wonderful Follow up to the Original! If you're a fan of Old School Turn Based Jrpgs you will love this. With the 2d HD style, beautiful music & awesome story. I highly recommend it!

Such a fun game. I've sunk about 40 hours in so far and there's still loads to do. This is definitely a must-have for classic jrpg fans.

If you enjoyed the first Octopath you will enjoy this second segment just as much. Great game and story.

A great stand alone sequel. Very engaging with incredible stories and dynamic soundtracks.

Do you like job systems? They are here and actually matter to making great characters. Do you like awesome music? The soundtrack is absolutely incredible and contains absolute bangers.

Awesome follow up to one of the best modern RPGs. Turn based combat is phenomenal and the characters are all very well done. The changes between the first and this one are all very positive. Free Steel book is beautiful as well

The first Octopath was good, but this one was amazing. The stories and characters felt richer, if only because of how beautifully they come together this time. Each character is very distinct, and the player is given a lot of freedom in how to experience their stories, in what order. There's a unique narrative there for each player, should they choose to let their imagination run with it. The battle system is still turn-based perfection. Also, each character having multiple path actions makes it easier to use them than before. Playing the first one is not required outside of a few easter eggs, so easy to recommend this one first.

The basics of the battle system are the same as the first because why mess with perfection? The new systems feel truly additive, the music and characters are great. And some of the structure is improved over the first game.

When I first played the first Octopath Traveler, there's was this sense of intrigue. It looked like games of the 16-bit era... but upscaled. I remember seeing the game in motion for the first time, and I was blown away by the beautiful graphics. The second time around, that sense of graphical beauty has somewhat diminished. Maybe my eyes got used to it, but with the sequel, I'm just playing it for the story, and I find myself just wanting to complete it for the sake of completing it. You once again have 8 characters, and each of them has multiple chapters to complete. There's still the sense of adventure as you go from town to town. The game holds your hand by showing you what level it recommends you be in order to survive that part of the map. I kinda wish you could turn that off in the beginning. For me it's fun learning what parts of the map are too advance for my current levels. The stories are well written, and the characters are likeable. This time you have the opportunity to see some of the characters share some stories, so this is a major upgrade from the original. The music is still whimsical, and fitting for most of the sequences in the game. The cycle though for each character is similar. You go from chapter to chapter with the level requirement increase, and face a boss at the end. I'm sorry to say that the sequel actually feels like something I would have played during the Super Nintendo era. I don't see any major advances that makes me think I would like a third one, unless some major changes are made. I'm not saying it's a bad game, it's just, not anything amazing.
