Ni No Kuni II is a little too easy, risking capitulating for such a small but fundamental element. However, the heavy, intense experience offered by Level 5's is so powerful that it's impossible to get away from the TV. It's an internal contradiction, a compromise you have to descend by, to enjoy one of the most exciting videogame worlds ever made.

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 2 aims for a lot of different targets: world-spanning story, management sim, recruitment game and solid combat experience. Against all odds, it manages to hit them all in a way that very few games in its genre can manage.

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.

The latest Level-5 work is an extremely solid example of an action-rpg game, but ultimately fails to live up to the expectations set by its excellent first chapter. It does, however, built the foundations for its future, which, given Nin No Kuni's current quality, is likely to be extremely successful.

Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is easily one of the best games of this early 2018 and will probably mark the rest of the year for its great accomplishment. Both a visual and musical feast for all sort of players, Level-5’s sequel to the original JRPG mixes both a bold change of gameplay mechanics, additional depth, and a solid story without harming the legacy of the series. A delight for both fans and newcomers.

Ni No Kuni II could have been genre-defining, but really, really good is just going to have to do instead. The way that the beautiful visuals meld together with Joe Hisaishi's breathtaking score is nothing short of remarkable and it all combines together for something that feels genuinely earnest and charming. While far from perfect, Ni No Kuni II is an easy recommendation for fans of JRPGs both old and new.
