Overall, Ni No Kuni 2 accomplishes what it sets out to do: It's a fun but deep fantasy world with heroes who remind us there is good in the world and villains who remind us that sometimes the worst-seeming people are just… misguided.

Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is an animated masterpiece that deserves to be played. Besides the novelties in the gameplay, it also enhances all the aspects of its predecessor, and can be considered one of the best PlayStation 4 games released so far.

We're two (main) games in now, and on the strength and consistency of these two I think it's safe to say that Ni No Kuni has every chance to become a major JRPG franchise that will last into the very long term.

Ni no Kuni II is one of those games that delivers a positive vibe not just through gameplay, but deeper stories, solid characters, as well as outstanding visuals and soundtrack. Moreover, it comes with fresh ideas that make it more engaging and fun, something that we rarely get these days from major franchises.

Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom is essentially a complete reboot offering a clean slate. The new Kingdom Builder mechanic is extremely addicting and even though the combat has its flaws, the visuals and the beautiful soundtrack make it one of the most enticing RPG released by Level 5 so far.

At first glance, don't get fooled by the colorful childish shape of the game since it provides a unique gaming experience coming from two focal points, the game style and the presentation of the world in it, I can easily say this game fits all different ages and characters providing a "spotless" experience of gaming avoiding some points that might drive some gamers away, I would have loved to see a more mature and deep story telling like the first one that came earlier but this doesn't mean it's a shallow sequel, at all, it fits the game world presenting it in an amazing artistic view and let me add a cherry on the top of this cake saying that the gaming system suggests presenting micro-transactions in it and can be put in many different places and aspects in it fitting it all as a whole package and yet the company didn't choose to go after this fast cash-in-revenue style and didn't even come close to it, also grinding is not an option here in this open RPG except for a place or two and how clever you're can keep you away from following this method, the whole game is a unique package of a new presentation to an old school loyal to fans game that is worth both your time and money.

This game delivered a great, colorful locations and provided a lot of ways to have fun, but the weak voice acting and the lack of challenge hurt the overall experience.

Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is a beautiful game that takes the soul of PS1 era JRPG to create a must play experience for every fan of the genre. Despite a great presentation and atmosphere, the game can feel like a drag by it's fetch quest format.

Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom isn't a conventional sequel. It has mostly superficial similarities to the first game, but it's one of the most genuinely enjoyable and fun JRPGs to come out in a long time. A charming story, delightful cast of characters, exciting gameplay and amazing presentation combine to make a game that is a boatload of fun to play. Its only real flaw is sometimes getting too bogged down in its own systems, and the story could be meatier. JRPG fans of all ages should find a lot to love here, and it's a must-have for anyone who loves the genre.

Level-5 has made something truly special, managing to capture the whimsical and heartfelt charm of a Ghibli story even more so than when it worked with Ghibli itself! This is an absolutely wonderful tale; a fantastic fable that makes up for every little flaw by giving the player a monumental amount of things to do and play with. Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is a must play for Ghibli fans, fans of the first Ni No Kuni, fans of JRPGs, Suikoden fans, and just about anyone who appreciates a good adventure in general.

For most of my time spent playing Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom, I loved the beautiful world and engaging combat - the core of the game. But every once in a while, everything would grind to a halt and I'd have to deal with the overworld strategy mechanics that feel poorly integrated. Luckily, this sequel has enough great moments to overcome those annoyances.

I can't stress enough how much I enjoyed Ni no Kuni II. It's one of the best JRPGs in years and it's a must-buy for fans of the genre. It's cute, thoroughly addictive and has more tweaks and statistics than you can shake a sword at. If you enjoyed the first game, you will love this.

Ni No Kuni 2 : Revenant Kingdom is a colorful game , filled with beautiful scenes. The gameplay can satisfy both Western RPG fans and lovers of Japanese performances. The story is not bad, but it could have been deeper. The game is recommended for fans of role playing games who love exploration in an anime world and interacting with various fantasy Characters.

Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is a special JRPG. It doesn't show its magic immediately but after a few hours, you'll see the full potential. The disappointing fact is that it delivers a combination of amazing features that's never been done before together, but it struggles in the obvious areas like side quests and level design.
