What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
You play the game as seven different characters, from the stone age to the distant future, in any order.
Graphically the game looks good and the soundtrack is great.
In my mind for a game to be worthy of the value it needs to meet a certain quality between its art (visual and audio), story, and gameplay compared to its price.
Sure, an Octopath is a different animal, but the way the old levels were slanted to produce gorgeous visuals was always great.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
