A high quality sport being resold at full worth with no improve path.
Revisiting Octopath Traveler II on Swap 2 was a nice expertise. This can be a sport that takes the inspiration of the primary sport and hammers it right into a tighter format. The eight disparate tales are higher linked and have new refinements and layers to fight and environmental engagement. It’s a enjoyable sport that was fulfilling to revisit, particularly as a result of I used to be in a position to take a distinct preliminary order of characters. Nonetheless, the Swap 2 model of this sport, initially offered at full worth with no improve route or transferable saves, provides nothing greater than a visible improve.
I imply, it’s a pleasant visible improve, making the HD-2D visuals pop at 60 frames per second at an elevated decision that seems to be according to Octopath Traveler 0’s Swap 2 efficiency. However that’s all it’s. It’s Octopath Traveler II, precisely because it was on the unique Swap, however with some barely nicer visuals. My 2023 evaluation of Octopath Traveler II nonetheless holds true as a result of nicely, it’s nearly similar. The sport’s a high quality RPG and if you happen to’re hankering for some throwback vibes with fashionable niceties, it’s an important one to play. It’s not fairly the head of the sequence (that’s 2025’s Octopath Traveler 0, which I reviewed final 12 months), however that is nonetheless worthy of your time. Simply perhaps not a necessity to get on Swap 2, except you’re down for the two-pack that comes with Octopath Traveler I and II for a extra palpable worth (basically makes every sport half off).
