If you are an RPG fan and somehow haven’t playedOctopathTraveler 2do yourself a favor and check it out. Our very ownEric Van Allen scored the RPG a 9/10saying “it somehow has everything I’d want out of an RPG inspired by the old days, but moving forward into new ones too.” 2023 was an incredible year for game releases and I’d still include Octopath Traveler 2 in my top 10, maybe even the top 5 games of 2023 which is an incredible feat for such a year of gaming hits.
