What is Octopath Traveler 2 about?

Octopath Traveler 2 is the second part of the series, the first installment of which we received in 2018. The game takes us to the fictional universe of Solista, maintained in a steampunk atmosphere. We follow the lives of eight characters, each with a different past, job and goal to achieve. Among the diverse characters are a scientist, a dancer, a merchant and a thief. At certain moments their fate intertwine with each other, which turns into even more surprising stories.

What makes it worth playing?

The game is distinguished by many advantages. The turn-based combat mechanics turned out particularly well, here you can freely experiment with different builds. Reviewers and players praise the engaging plot, in which each of the narrated stories evokes a lot of emotions. Their impact is even stronger thanks to the contrasting graphic design, which rather brings to mind a dollhouse than serious problems. The whole thing is accompanied by a fantastic soundtrack, complementing the extraordinary experience with this title.
