Octopath Traveler Review - Darrel

Old-school inspired RPG with a deep battle system, unique visuals, and an excellent soundtrack.  There's less character interaction between the party members than you might have expected, and a slightly repetitive gameplay loop, but the game delivers a more personal experience with generally strong characters and small stories for the eight protagonists.  The deep job/battle system, presentation, and simple emotionally-driven stories kept the game interesting to me from start to finish.

DW Score: 9/10
Time to Beat: Up to 80-90 hours to finish everything
