    Love it but I wish the story was more cohesive. The game has an excellent battle system. It can seem hard at first but stick with it.

    There game itself is good, not precisely what I was expecting, but that's not the game's fault. Will continue to play.

    The first thing that stands out about this is the art style. Combining 2D sprites with HD backgrounds creates a stunning game.

    Large cast and vast story. A fun little RPG from Square Enix that harkens back to an earlier time while keeping it modern.

    Reminds me of some really great old school jrpgs. The story starts a bit sluggish but once things get going it's a blast.

    I don't play a ton of JRPGs but this one has great combat. The story is pretty disjointed because of the 8 separate character stories.

    It's like eight games in one!

    Octopath Traveler starts out with you choosing one of eight different characters each with their own unique stories and battle abilities. Once you choose a character your journey begins with them and you meet each of the seven other characters on the way. You'll encounter enemies along your travels, and these battles can get dull after a while but the boss battles feel fresh and exciting compared to the basic normal enounters. In the end Octopath Traveler brings a new take on the jrpg genre and is highly recommended!

    This game is a wonderful dream come true. It has everything JRPG fans will be looking for, maybe besides stellar graphics. But the thing about Octopath Traveler is that they were aiming for a fusion of 16-bit, and higher-end 3D interfacing world’s to give it a strong nostalgic feel in a modern-style game.

    Romancing Saga done right!

    While evoking the visual style of Final Fantasy VI, it actually is structured much more like the PlayStation RPG Romancing Saga. But where that game was difficult and inscrutable, Octopath triumphs with great storytelling and fresh combat mechanics. This game is more than an interesting visual gimmick.

    It's a pretty classic RPG, fun at the beginning and very different. Does fall off a little after some hours in but still Solid.

    I have really been enjoying this game. Both my and my husband have a switch and I am thinking of buying another copy so that we both play. There doesn't have co-op but I don't think it needs it. This game is a beautiful 2D game that has 3D elements on it.

    This game pays great service to the golden age of JRPGs, bringing back memories of seiken densetsu (secret of mana series), Final Fantasy VI, Star Ocean, and more. This game give you limitless replay and reminds use there is still more to a good game then the most realistic graphics!
