Octopath Traveler 2 is very good JRPG, but does it have any flaws?
In this article we will talk about both good and bad sides of Octopath Traveller 2 so you can decide if this is the right game for you.
PROS
1. Unique graphics.
This game mix together 2D, 3D and modern graphical effects. It looks very good and stands out from other games I played so far.
2. Great Story.
Storylines are great and interesting. And pacing is perfect as well, so you are not being bored with dialogues. They always leave you craving for more. And voiceover is great too.
3. Combat mechanics.
Square Enix titles always had good and smooth gameplay and this game is no exception. Skills, their combinations, special abilities are very well thought. You can make interesting builds, and some enemies will require you to properly use your skillset.
4. Balanced difficulty.
Its just right. Its not that easy for the game to be a cakewalk, but at the same time not that challenging that makes you rage quit. If you feel too weak just go farm a little bit more, lvl up, get better skills and gear, so your chances will increase.
CONS
1. Some dialogue scenes are unskippable.
For example the dialogue before the boss fight cannot be skipped fully, so if you are defeated, you will have to sit through all that again.
Verdict. Is Octopath Traveller 2 Good?
YES! Its fantastic JRPG that is really fun to play and explore. You can always start as another character to learn their background. It leaves you curious to see if their stories will intervene. Strongly recommend.
