Round two, old friend.

Previously, I reviewed Octopath Traveler 1 with mixed feelings - and now, we return with Octopath 2. Many good things have been said about this sequel, but was it worth it? Was it worth the 80-something hours that I would be putting into it? Or was this just another overhyped dud from Team Asano?

Spoiler alert: it was the best game I've played in my life.
