Octopath Traveler Review - IGN

Whichever path you travel, this JRPG holds beauty and excellent combat in store.

[NecrumOddBoy]

Excellent and I cant wait for tomorrow!

[darthv72]

I love the art style they were going for.

[DrStronk]

Both this and Captain Toad Treasure Tracker this month and I still haven’t finished Octo Expansion, Donkey Kong Adventure or Hollow Knight from last month. An amazing time to be a Switch owner!

[MeteorPanda]

why mention toad? How is that a plus to switch owners? Nintendo added nothing new to the wii u version. A straight up port for 90 dollars (aus) and you're happy with that??

Buy yourself a second hand wi u, the game itself for 15 dollars and save yourself 50 bucks XD

[Sgt_Slaughter]

They added stuff, looks like you missed the whole Super Mario Odyssey levels add-on. Also it's $40 in the US so sucks that it's so high AUS but for everyone else, it's a great buy.

[DrStronk]

Like most Switch owners, I never got to play it on the Wii U unfortunately. It has new stages from Super Mario Osyssey, but then again, every stage is brand new to me as I never played the Wii U version. My job includes alot of traveling so I would barely have time to play it if I bought it on the Wii U. I don’t live in Australia. Hope that cleared things up. :)

[darthv72]

Well that makes no sense. Chances are a 2nd hand wiiu and a copy of the game will still cost more than just buying the game on switch.

[Bronxs15]

I think drstronk was being sarcastic ?

[Servbot41]

Also the Switch version removed levels. Terrible port.

[The 10th Rider]

Hollow Knight will be getting more content too. I just hope they don't drop it when I'm right in the middle of Octopath, lol.

[Loadedklip]

Hollow Knight is AMAZING!!!

[Segata]

Sonic Mania Plus,Shining Resonance Refrain,Titan Quest,Code of Princess,Mega Man X Legacy. Been a crazy month.

[TheGoodestBoi]

Its time to get my Jrpg on!

[sssb]

Now I'm on fire.

[Outlawzz]

I can tell this will be a game that I will love but won't have time to finish lol but at least I'll give them my support with a purchase

[kevnb]

IGN reviews mean nothing to me, but this game looks excellent!

[MeteorPanda]

they are a mixed bag of bias lately lol

[kevnb]

its not even that really, its just most times I read or watch their reviews I dont find they really convey what the game is like at all.

[MeteorPanda]

you can get their video player to work? you are a God.

Some reviews are pretty whimsy l agree, they're mostly on point mentioning the things l was looking for though so cant say l agree with the lack of information. I just hate the review score system where in the end people will judge a game badly if it's below a 7.

[kevnb]

it works for me, but I find it laughable that they called 1440p 2K :).

[TheColbertinator]

Octopath Traveler looks great.

[Alucard_420]

I can't wait to start this game, this is going to be soooooooo good. Prologue was amazing also.

[Last_Boss]

Wayfarer comes from distant lands soon.

[joab777]

Why do I want to buy a Switch right now for this? It reminds me of the year I bought the 360 for Mass Effect and found Lost Odyssey. I wanna play this so bad.

[DivineAssault]

Looking forward to this one. I wont have time to play it right away but im definitely getting to it

[Platformgamer]

from what i see, it's not a near perfect game... i'd give it a 6/10

[Nebaku]

Well then thank god we go by what we play, and not what you see.

[Last_Boss]

Hahaha

[SR38813]

Glad :) it's not for me though

[Last_Boss]

Side thought. This is how the Romancing Saga series should be remade.

[PCgamer98]

I'm 10 hrs in the game and really loving it. Recommended for those looking for that 16 bit jrpg feel and nostalgia.

[oakshin]

I gotta get a switch already square makes this for Nintendo but not playstation ffxv wasn't bad but why waste all that time and money on realistic looking food when u could of fleshed out...(cry)

[Ivar_Ragnarsson]

This game gives me a really big nostalgic feeling and I love it. Can't wait to get it :D

[Nerdmaster]

I just didn't like to hear that there really isn't a plot joining them all together, and that there are jobs locked by powerful bosses. I mean, what's the use in having jobs that you won't be able to use until you're already the most powerful being and already beat all the strongest bosses?
