A fine game being resold at full price with no upgrade path. Revisiting Octopath Traveler II on Switch 2 was a pleasant experience.

- 9.0It all means that Octopath Traveler II is challenging yet rewarding, full of narrative that you’ll want to immerse yourself in. It may initially feel a slog, but there are hours of play here, all of which play out across some great world design.
- 9.0While there are still some improvements to be made in terms of difficulty balancing and dungeon designs, Octopath Traveler 2 makes meaningful improvements over the original and manages to realize most of its lofty ambitions, culminating into an experience not to be missed by any JRPG fan.
- 9.8OCTOPATH TRAVELER II performs without a hitch. The game operates virtually perfectly, save for a few minor glitches. Regarding performance, there is literally nothing more that could be improved upon. OCTOPATH TRAVELER II is one of the best JRPGs I’ve ever played. 2D- HD graphics, in particular, have a striking visual flair. All these path acts contribute greatly to providing the player with an enjoyable experience, as the game features some interesting stories and a highly interactive universe.
- 8.0Octopath Traveler 2 is more of the same with side quests, interesting characters, and a large world to explore. It essentially gives fans of the first game an additional 60 hours of what they already enjoyed, and newcomers can jump right into the sequel without worrying about what they might have missed.
- 9.0Octopath Traveler 2 isn’t just a great end destination, but a fulfilling journey too. It has a lively world, intricate and engaging combat, fluid progression and builds that reward tinkering, an incredible score, and excellent arcs for all of its protagonists. It somehow has everything I’d want out of an RPG inspired by the old days, but moving forward into new ones too.
