“Octopath Traveler isn’t without its flaws, and it’s not for everyone, but you already knew clicking into this review whether the game is “for you” or not. If the beautiful HD-2D visuals arrested your attention, and you’ve been craving a game that could faithfully capture the magic you felt playing RPGs as a kid, then this is something that belongs in your library. Octopath Traveler is absolutely enchanting, and a time-bending classic that, itself, will stand the test of time.”
