Throughout this review, I may have seemed a little hard on Red Dead Redemption 2, but the overall package is nothing short of spectacular.

Octopath Traveler is a charming throwback to classic Japanese Role-Playing Games. It's brimming with life aesthetically and the turn-based combat system is old school yet surprisingly modern.
