The value story
It has never been cheaper than $23.99. That was July 2025. 22 discounts in the 4 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart. Today's $23.99 at 60 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
Take the discount away and it is a 84. With it, 89.
Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling ($19.99, scores 96) beats it on value, while it beats DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake ($29.99, scores 49).
The math says it holds its tier up to $55.69, and you are being asked for $23.99.

What players say
Genuinely tried to like this game. I really did. Played this game, quit, came back, quit, came back, and quit again. Put in a total of 34 hours in the game at the time of this review and I just find it too tedious to enjoy. Random encounters should be a thing of the past. For Octopath Traveller 2 in particular, doubly so. The game is in a HD2D perspective that often shows chests to you as you wander, but the paths...
