Regardless of its genre transformation, Octopath Traveler 0 is hands-down one of the best RPGs ever made. Its storytelling, characterizations, soundtrack, and densely interconnected gameplay loop are masterclass, even if it takes more than a little while for everything to click. Honestly, Square’s HD-2D output has been exceptional, and I’m eager to see where these efforts continue to grow.

If there was a Bestower of Peak story path, then it would have been about Team Asano’s making of this game. It is the best thing to ever come out from Square Enix since Rebirth’s 2024’s release and the definitive Octopath experience, even if the budget tries to get on the way sometimes.

Octopath Traveler 0 delivers a tight, compelling story with challenging turn-based battles and satisfying Boost-and-Break tactics, all wrapped in atmospheric HD-2D beauty. Building your own village and exploring the world feels rewarding and familiar thanks to the strong soundtrack and recognizable style. Fans of the series will feel right at home once again.

There’s little doubt that Octopath Traveler 0 is one of the best JRPGs of the year, if not the best entry in the series. Its novel additions alongside the series’ staples elevate it to new heights. Despite having enough content for a hundred or so hours, it respects players’ time more than any other JRPG I have played.

The additions made to the franchise’s core, spliced in with Champions Of The Content and the changes made to its DNA, make Octopath Traveler 0 an incredibly engaging and constantly enticing prospect. The Path Of Restoration begins now, and I hope you’re along for the ride.

Octopath Traveler 0 delivers the series’ most cohesive story yet, backed by its sharpest combat system and a surprisingly addictive town-building feature. By blending a focused narrative with a large, memorable cast and wrapping it all in gorgeous HD-2D visuals, it stands as both the strongest entry in the franchise and one of the best JRPGs in years.

With addictive combat, a cohesive story, and greater accessibility for players less keen on the experimental nature of the series' other titles, Octopath Traveler 0 delivers exactly what is expected of it as an entry point to the series. If you have never played the franchise, start here. If you have, prepare to see the formula perfected and a story that will be highly rewarding.

Octopath Traveler 0 delivers one of the most polished and engaging pixel RPG experiences of the year. Its tactical combat, rich cast of characters, and emotionally grounded village-rebuilding system create a deeply satisfying adventure. The lack of German localisation is a major drawback, but anyone willing to read a lot of English will find a beautifully crafted and surprisingly dark journey worth every hour.

Octopath Traveller 0 masterfully transforms the once mobile game into a fully fleshed JRPG romp that feels as feature-rich and engaging as the prior console and PC releases.

Octopath Traveler 0 is without a doubt the best game in the series, and it almost sounds strange when we consider that this is a reworked and expanded version of a mobile game. Despite that, the combat system has never been better, and the stories in this game are fantastic, and even through little pixel people they are more believable and poignant than most of the genre has offered in a long, long time. There's just one thing that really annoys me. Almost all of the music is recycled from previous games. It's amazing, and better than pretty much any other music that's come out since the first Octopath Traveler game, but still, we heard it in the first Octopath Traveler game.
