PATH OF GLORY

GAMERS seeking a deep and narrative-driven turn-based role-play title this winter won't go wrong with this hit.

- 

Octopath Traveler O aims to offer a game where you start from a completely blank page and create your own epic adventure.

Fans of the first Octopath Traveler will know what to expect - a beautifully drawn old-school looking side-scrolling video game with pixel-style graphics.

Think a mix of 8-bit style design and Minecraftian backdrops like something out of the SNES days of the 90s. But somehow Square Enix has made it feel more real than the sum of its HD-2D parts.

And this wonderful world you start to build in the continent of Orsterra looks vivid and alive, giving me original Monkey Island vibes at points.

You start by picking one of eight job classes. They include warrior, hunter, merchant, scholar, dancer and thief.
