Our Take
At $59.99, it seems a fair price if you're into character-driven RPGs with strategic battles. Try the demo first to see if it's your thing.
Review
Octopath Traveler II builds on the foundations of its predecessor with improved HD-2D graphics and a new setting, Solistia. Each of the eight characters offers unique abilities and narratives, encouraging replayability. The demo allows you to start your journey and transfer progress, but exploration is restricted to starting areas. While mechanics like the Break and Boost system return, the lack of current reviews might make the $59.99 price tag feel risky without trying the demo first. Fans of tactical turn-based RPGs who appreciate deep stories might find this appealing.

- +Eight unique protagonists with distinct abilities
- +Enhanced HD-2D graphics

Gameplay
