OCTOPATH TRAVELER II

The game has a lot going for it, but also has some serious problems. The bad: FIrst, there's a LOT of cutscenes and dialogue, which would be fine if they were good, but they're super tacky. Towards the end of the game, I skipped a lot of entire cutscenes. It's way too easy. I was actively strategizing how to not be over-leveled to maintain some kind of challenge. I did get a challenge from some chapters/missions, but ultimately, you will be ridiculously over-leveled as you finish off the last stories. The good: The jobs are cool. The game looks beautiful.
