Customer Ratings & Reviews

One of the only video games my wife will play on her own. She never grew up playing video games (maybe Lion King on Sega Genesis lol). She absolutely loves this series. The graphics are really cool. The fight scenes and music are epic as well.

I definitely like the art style of the game as it looking amazing. The gameplay is very simple and easy to get into. I like how the stories for the stories for different characters are and its fantastic. I recommend this game

The sequel to Square Enix's Octopath Traveler improves upon the original game. Beautiful 2.5D graphics and strong character/storylines make for an enjoyable play. It's more of the same but improves on the original in every way. Highly recommended

Octopath Traveller 2 had a lot to contend with going into its release. Fans of the original saw the first as a great proof of concept, but wanted to see if it could be taken further, while those who were disappointed by the first wanted to see the game changed enough to be as good as it looks (and it looks VERY good). Without a doubt, Octopath Traveller 2 delivered in every regard. Every aspect of the original is improved upon (with the exception perhaps of the soundtrack, though both games are phenomenal in that regard), from the updated combat system which now allows characters to use unique signature maneuvers to change the tide of battle, to perhaps most crucially, the story and characters themselves. Perhaps the most frequent complaint about the original Octopath was the lack of character interactions in each character’s story. Octopath 2 doesn’t quite change much in that regard, but it does have the characters interacting far more frequently. Characters will call out to each other in battle now, and of course, the travel banter from the first game makes a return as well. Side stories were also added to the game, in which pairs of travelers experience a unique storyline separate from their own that will ultimately have larger consequences down the line. Without saying TOO much, fans hoping to see the travelers interact in the story will definitely be satisfied once they reach the final arc of the game, so stick with it! For fans of classic turn based RPGs, and even for those who don’t have much experience with the genre, Octopath Traveller 2 is an absolute must-buy. Try it for yourself and see why the game is an instant classic, and easily one of the best games of 2023.

I thoroughly enjoyed Octopath Traveler, so I was ecstatic to hear Square Enix was making Octopath Traveler II. The game is fun, with more mechanics and better character interactions. (Some of the travel banter is absolutely hilarious.) As for plot, most of the characters’ storylines are compelling, and I also like the easter eggs with side characters sprinkled in. If you come across this review, I will warn you that your first character will still be locked to your party until you beat their storyline. Also. some fights definitely felt too easy this time around, but then other fights were kind of tough. Take that with a grain of salt. Either way, if you enjoyed the first installment, I think you’ll enjoy this one too.

Amazing game. It looks beautiful and has a wonderful soundtrack. The characters are great and had very interesting stories. I also did enjoy the gameplay and loved that there was vwry little grinding.

Great game with lots of bang for your buck, all the characters are fleshed out and combat is never boring. Love that day and night change at a click of a button. Definitely try you won’t regret it.

Building upon the solid foundation set by the first game, Octopath Traveller 2 feels familiar yet fresh. New twists to existing jobs, brand new classes to acquire, and the addition of a day night system. The story is captivating and the character interactions don’t disappoint.

Game was fun to play and had charming graphics. I really enjoyed playing through Partitio's chapter, but Hikari's story was a very close second. The first game was disappointing in regards to the story of the characters and interaction, but this game is a huge upgrade. Gameplay is your standard turn-based RPG with some fun twists added in, but still nothing amazing.

This game slaps. It's dripping with that 2.5D graphic overlays when you are traveling around the world. It's great for the younger players that can't enjoy the pixel-era rpg's due to the visual limitations.

This game is stellar, top notch, and a must have for rpg fans. Lots of variety and awesome gameplay mechanics.

This game surpasses the original in just about every way. The only thing I would say is to not expect a completely immersive story with all of the characters. Similar to the first game, each story is kind of its own thing. I'm personally fine with that, but I know that was a somewhat common complaint of the first game. If you get around that, you will love this. It's like a loveletter to oldschool JRPGs.

Fun game! Always enjoy a game that has an exciting story and characters.

Octopath Traveler II Improves on the first game in every way! Better cross-path dialogue between cool and interesting characters that each have there own interesting story, a fun and intuitive day/night cycle that the player can switch between at will, a fun turn-based battle system with a great break mechanic, and of course, the beautiful HD-2D pixel work that first game was known for. Definitely a must-buy!

Love this game to death. Fabulous art style and even better than the first one.

Gameplay is crisp. A couple of new features to build off the original. So far, this version can be played without purchasing the original, no story is lost and tutorials handle all the appropriate game mechanics. Lots of characters and new ways to explore and interact with the world. Very enjoyable game and plays great in docked mode or handheld.

Amazing game if you thought the first one was good this one is way better

Great JRPG from the masters. Follow 8 different storylines in a HD-2D look, loved it.

fun game worth the purchase Absolutely love Octopath Traveler II. One of the best modern JRPGs of all time. This game is a love letter to fans of the classic JRPG genre. Octopath Traveler I is a masterpiece and Square Enix greatly improved upon it in the sequel.

Very good game. Sequel to a very good game. Recommend
