In our Switch 2 review, we called Octopath Traveler 0 a ‘victory lap’ for the beloved series, awarding it nine out of ten stars.

“Even if it’s a retread in some ways, though, an absolutely monstrous amount of content, interesting new gameplay elements, gorgeous visuals, and compelling storytelling all come together to make Octopath Traveler 0 a must-buy.”
