Octopath Traveler Review – The Right Way to Do Nostalgia

By Jason Faulkner

Octopath Traveler is one of those games that tap into nostalgia feels at full steam. Tons of gamers have fond memories of Square Enix’s 16-bit RPGs, so much so that some of them just can’t accept that Final Fantasy 7 was the best game in the series, not Final Fantasy 6 (fight me IRL)

It’s no surprise then that Square decided…

  • Old-school JRPG aesthetic with modern effects looks amazing.
  • Simple but rewarding battle system keeps things fresh.
  • Likable characters, each with unique ways of interacting with the world.
  • Random battles may turn some players off.
  • The eight characters' stories don't intertwine and they have very little interaction with one another.
