| Topic | Octopath Traveler got a 9.3 at IGN |
| Coffeebeanz 07/12/18 10:04:51 AM #1: | http://www.ign.com/articles/2018/07/12/octopath-traveler-review Daaayum son Polygon: https://www.polygon.com/2018/7/12/17563366/octopath-traveler-review-nintendo-switch-jrpg Every element of Octopath Traveler comes together brilliantly to create a refreshing take on the genre. While it channels the spirit of old favorites, it never feels derivative. It genuinely does feel like a 16-bit RPG that has evolved into something new rather than being mere nostalgia-bait. Even if its visual tricks can feel strained at times, I admire the way Traveler sidesteps and even corrects the mistakes that other RPGs tend to make in trying to recapture the essence of the Super NES era. Its informed by the classics, but it never feels blind or slavish. While I dont feel comfortable putting a score on this review until Ive completed the game and seen how (or if) the stories come together, I can confidently say that anyone whos been pining for a great RPG will not be disappointed by Octopath Traveler... whether they want a vintage experience or a brand-new one.
