In our Switch 2 review, we called it 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."

Square Enix has also released a demo on the Switch 2 this week for the upcoming release Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade.
