There is also much more strategy involved compared to the Genesis days, so I think those that either enjoy fantasy football or card games could easily get into this one. Granted the gameplay is slightly different as it puts you in a fantasy league instead of actually putting you in control of each player in real time, but I think that there’s plenty to like and enjoy as you cheat and attack your way through. It was a blast, and Blood Bowl III reminds me a whole lot of this game. The game played a lot like the early version of Madden but involved undead characters, explosions, and killing other players. As of late my time has been mostly invested in Sumeru and tirelessly farming artifacts for my newly procured Yelan in Genshin Impact, so I think it’s time to pivot and enjoy some tabibito in a different universe.įor years, I had waged an ongoing cold war with a friend when we would play Mutant League Football on the Genesis. One other fact is that I’m pretty interested in playing this on my Steam Deck, as with the previous Octopath Traveler it was originally launched on the Switch first, and then was ported to other consoles later.

Like a gourmet meal filled with subtle seasonings, this is an RPG to savor rather than consume. There’s also full voice acting this time around, adding to the richness of each storyline. For Octopath Traveler II, the team makes a few concessions, with Crossed Paths storylines allowing for more interaction between the leads. ![]() We probably all expected an Iñárritu-style crossover, but aside from short vignettes, the game defied expectations, keeping the focus on each Traveler’s personal tale.
