Octopath Traveler
Best RPGs of 2018 So Far
Square Enix’s breakout hit on Nintendo Switch has already sold over 1 million copies since launching a few weeks ago, like selling candy to a baby in the realm of great RPGs. It’s a testament to how fantastic this new RPG really is, and it shows no sign of slowing down. The captivating tale that revolves around eight different main protagonists lets you explore its expansive narrative at your pace, offering separate story arcs for you to unravel for each individual character.
Coupled with the finest traditional role-playing game trappings, it offers gorgeous “HD 2D” sprites and 3D environments that offer a classic aesthetic with a modern twist. It’s a charming, impeccably structured adventure that die-hard RPG loyalists owe it to themselves to check out, as it’s currently the crown jewel of the Nintendo Switch’s role-playing selection.
