Octopath Traveler, how good is it?
Hello!
Octopath 1 and 2 are currently on sale for about 37 euros, or roughly 43 dollars, on the Steam Summer Sale. I've always been curious about the series but have heard really mixed things about it. So is this deal worth it or not?
I love certain jrpgs like Persona and the newer Final Fantasy games but haven't got into a lot of games in the genre. I do however love rpgs in general and most of my favourite games of all times are rpgs (although mostly western ones). So while I am curious about the Octopath Traveler series, I am not certain if it is for me. I tend to fall in love with story and characters over gameplay.
So would you recommend Octopath 1 and 2, especally at that price in the bundle?
Thanks!
EDIT: Thanks to everyone who answered! It seems these games are really divisive, like I thought. After reading all the comments I am a bit weary but I think I will get Octopath 2 instead of both games for now, since it seems like the games aren't connected storywise and that 2 is the superior experience. If I really enjoy 2 then I might also get 1 and 0 in the future.
