The Octopath Traveler II Review for PlayStation 5

The highly anticipated RPG, The Octopath Traveler I by Square Enix, is now available for PC and consoles. The demo provides a preview of what to expect in the full game, which is a sequel to the widely acclaimed Octopath Traveler. The demo offers many upgrades over the previous version. The backgrounds are more colorful and detailed, and the graphics are more streamlined and polished. Additionally, the characters are more varied and have distinctive personalities that set them apart from one another.

Turn-based gameplay is used, but the Break system adds a novel twist. Players can weaken an opponent’s defenses by focusing on their weaknesses and repeatedly hitting them, leaving them open to devastating attacks. Combat becomes more interesting and strategic thanks to this system. The demo also introduces new characters and a new world, which players can explore. There are many different types of environments and undiscovered treasures on the vast world map. The game’s job system, which enables players to modify their characters’ skills and abilities in accordance with their preferences, is also demonstrated in the demo.

The music in the game is one of its best features. Yasunori Nishiki, who also contributed to the music for the first game, wrote the soundtrack. Each track in the atmospheric soundtrack perfectly fits the scene and surroundings. The demo’s length is its lone drawback. There are only two chapters to play through, making it fairly brief. However, it’s still sufficient to make players eager to play the complete game. The Octopath Traveler II Demo is a promising RPG that is overall quite impressive. It’s definitely worth checking out thanks to its enhanced graphics, compelling combat system, and captivating soundtrack. Both devoted first-game players and series newcomers ought to try out this demo and the full game.

THE OCTOPATH TRAVELER II is available for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and PC via Steam.

I love single player story mode games with beautiful open worlds. Games like Red Dead Redemption, GTA series, Uncharted series, Far Cry series, Assassin’s Creed series, etc., are some of the best games I have ever played. I love to play a game that has immersive worlds to explore and interesting story line.
