Octopath Traveler would be so easy to love. More importantly, there is something amazing in the time trial: developers can decide to focus on an old school role-playing game with pixel graphics while large companies inject millions into the marketing budget. This one is as far away from the AAA industry, it is possible to come – let go because the developer is Square Enix. Instead, the developer focused on imitating jrpg games from the 1990s, especially Final Fantasy VI. We are talking about banal but charming actions, in a kingdom populated by knights, wizards and thieves – and with many complex conflicts.
Pixel graphics are really to die for, this is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful games of the year. ] However, there is no long and epic act, not even a main character. Instead, you choose one of the eight characters first, and then pick up the rest during the game. Whenever you encounter a new one, you will have to play a part of that story – and it's not fair that the respective fate of the characters is related, or even leads to something bigger goals. It's obvious to see it as a sort of bite size setup, where you play for an hour, drop the console and continue with a whole new action.
Each character has his story – as in his The turn is divided into several different parts.
It also worked if it was that the narrative technique leaves much to be desired. In addition to the fact that a necessary red thread is almost completely absent, the different little snakes to the stories are displayed in the same way. It starts with a story of the saga, where you have the motive and the context of what will happen – which is almost always a kind of battleship. It works for a few hours, but then repeated for almost the entire adventure.
What is even sadder, is that Optopath Traveler is so good by the way. Pixel graphics are really to die for, this is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful games of the year with a fantastic retrocharm, which with little means, is able to see the modern and the freshness. The combat system offers turn-based battles; Here it is to determine the weaknesses of the enemy, then try to break their defenses. The different characters, in turn, have a variety of different characteristics, and this seems to be the most for the rest of the world to be able to add a lot of attack, according to the l & # 39; enemy. As a result, your characters do not have to be well prepared (although obviously helpful) – as long as you have the right tactics, it is actually possible to face a fairly strong resistance.
Visually, Octopath Traveler is one of the finest we have seen in a long time
. But, as we said, after about twenty-one hours, this brings us to a short story to begin the lesson. Knowing that the next part will evolve in exactly the same way as before, it does not make a direct miracle for motivation.
