It also offers one of my favorite open worlds I’ve explored in a game, a true achievement that is found in the intersection of retro throwback and a modern innovation. Check out the demo, there’s really not much more I can say. It takes a flawed yet enjoyable premise and improves on it so well that it's one of the better Square Enix games they’ve released in recent memory. It doesn’t really take much explaining to sum up why this game is so good, and trust me I’ve tried.

I love the cast, combat, and exploration. Octopath Traveler II is a very confident sequel, knowing what worked with the original game and polishing those aspects. The only one I wasn’t able to truly get into was Octopath, and I’ve spent the last few years attempting to restart playthroughs to give it more chances to impress me. I’ve enjoyed dramatizing it as a “curse” of sorts, even if most of those titles were fun despite their unevenness. The original Octopath Traveler, Bravely Default II, and Triangle Strategy were all full of potential, yet short of greatness. I’ve had a rocky history with recent games by Square Enix’s Team Asano.
