“If you liked the first entry, it means you’re very likely to like Octopus Traveler II due to a series of smart improvements. It’s still an epic, traditional JRPG adventure, so 100 hours Be prepared for a near turn – but with dynamic visuals, addictive combat, and a deeply intertwined story featuring all eight characters, Octopath Traveler II is an absolutely sublime JRPG experience, and the best yet. It’s one of the JRPG experiences of the Nintendo Switch variety.”
game informer Octopus Traveler II scored an 8.5 and was also rated as an “excellent” follow-up.
“Octopus Traveler II does what a good sequel deserves. Instead of breaking new ground, it improves on the original in almost every way and is confident in the story it tells. Solid territory.” There is still room for improvement in some of the , but Octopus II is a crowning achievement in every way.”
Nintendo World Report stated that it was a significant improvement over the original, but felt it wasn’t all that fresh.
“Octopus Traveler II is definitely an improvement over the original, but it’s been a long time since the first game, and the visuals and the impact of the ideas aren’t as fresh as they used to be. This game solves the problem.” No, what bounced back in the first game was that the story wasn’t connected yet, and most of the dungeons were straight paths, dotted with treasure chests along the way, that I wanted to solve. Octopus Traveler II definitely delivers on that. It’s a strong RPG that I enjoyed, but it’s not a bold new step.

“…this sequel was the pinnacle of the genre and a reminder of why games like this are so admired and timeless. , is all about losing yourself in mini-stories that lead to more epic tales, kind of like The Lord of the Rings or A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones in that respect It’s also a game that allows you to flex your strategic muscles when playing with nostalgia while offering something new.
