Octopath Traveler II (PC) key

IGN

Octopath Traveler 2 is a very enjoyable JRPG sequel that feels a little too safe and familiar.

Metro GameCentral

A competent and entertaining faux-retro Japanese role-player but apart from the new characters almost nothing has changed since the first one.

GamesRadar+

As an ode to '90s JRPGs, there's no doubt that Octopath Traveler 2 has chops. Its aesthetic and combat system are perfectly judged to recall the old while feeling new. The fragmented nature of its eight separate plotlines, however, means the world and its characters lack coherence and room to escape simple archetypes, while the stories themselves lack sufficient nuance to hold the attention.
