    Octopath Traveler is definitely worth picking up on Switch. It's a nice throwback to RPGs of the 90s, but with a modern twist. You can choose which character to start your adventure and can freely recruit any other protagonist you want in whichever order, making your experience truly unique.

    This game is a throwback to the classic SNES RPGs like Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger. If you are in the mood for nostalgia, buy this game now!

    If you loved the ol' Final Fantasy games on the NES and SNES, then the art style for this game will scratch your nostalgia itch. The combat system is pretty in-depth, too. The story leave a little to be desired though, but it's a great game to play while listening to a podcast or something.

    I love the visuals of this game. It feels very much a mix of N64 and SNES but with HD flare to it. The game immersive and well thoughout. Great switch game.

    I am really enjoying the game, there are so many things to think about. I am not very far into the game but from the time I have played it is very enthralling. I think the only thing I don't like about the game so far is that the main character you choose you cannot swap out throughout the game. It is only a little problem because you can still listen to and go through each character's story line. You can get the other jobs so you can use other abilities on the main character but it is a long time in before you do. Over all it is a great game with a very large play time.

    This game is a beautiful nod to the 16bit era with every bit of 2018 included. If you like jRPGs, please don't pass on this for your Switch collection.

    Very unique graphics gives each scene loads of depth. Tons of dialog, so be patient. I’m only an hour into the game, but I’m hooked. There’s so much to do!

    Octopath Traveler immediately gave me Bravely Default vibes, such an engaging game that challenges the player to come up with cool and flashy strategies.

    Took me a bit of time to really get the BP system down. Once I did, I realized this learnt itself to a very rich and satisfyingly strategic combat system

    I’m addicted to this game. I’m only about 15 hours in but i can already tell the ride I’m about to be on for probably another 35-50 hours. Get this game.
