Ni no Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom Reviews
It's going to be grindy, there will be so much loot that you won't know what to do with it, and I personally find the story a little hard to get immersed in. However, the combat is great and the mechanics work well together, there is a huge world to explore and for people who love the genre, this will be one they don't want to miss.
Between being a relatively traditional Japanese RPG, a kingdom management sim, and an advocate of real-time strategy, Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom could have easily stretched itself too thin, but developer Level-5 somehow manages to pull everything together and make it all seem worthwhile. This is a robust but accessible adventure that's stuffed with charm and character. A really fun combat system and gorgeous visuals top things off, making the sequel a joy to play. In a word, Ni no Kuni II is delightful.
Ni No Kuni 2's adorable exterior masks the impressive RPG within.
Plenty of short- and long-term goals keep you invested, and you are thrown into the action relatively quickly. Watching your kingdom grow and flourish is the biggest draw, though the battles also provide simple fun
A Japanese role-player that everyone can enjoy, and which mixes old school influences and some interesting innovations to charming effect.
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 managed to capture the charm and wonder that keeps RPG fans coming back to the table. Stylistically, the game manages to balance cute and serious for an all around fun ride. Surprising depth of gameplay will give completionists plenty to explore. Easy access to core features allow more casual players to enjoy most of the game as well. Level-5 does a tremendous job with optimization as well, avoiding the typical RPG pitfalls of long lectures and load screens.
While the presentation takes a slight hit, the improved combat easily makes up for it. In a lot of ways, Ni no Kuni II is much better than its predecessor.
In a magical world filled with villainy, it is up to you, a young prince to unite the nations and claim back your rightful place as the true King.
Though it's not a perfect game, Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom will find its way into your heart with its endless charm and uplifting story. A fantastic JRPG with bags of positivity to boot, this game is an uplifting experience that the world could do with more of right now.
Ni no Kun II: Revenant Kingdom will no doubt go down as one of my unexpected charms of the year
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 is full of some tremendously creative decisions that make this unlike many other Japanese RPGs, as well as a clear step above an already good game in the original Ni No Kuni. However, some additions like the RTS elements left me scratching my head. Despite this, Ni No Kuni II tells a beautiful story that's set in an even more beautiful world, and should be enjoyed by most JRPG fans.
Ni no Kuni 2 improves over the predecessor in almost everything: it's more polished, the gameplay is more refined and has a good pace, and the story would look good in a Studio Ghibli production. Ni no Kuni 2 is an absolute joy to watch and to play, deep yet not complicated, a true and genuine JRPG.

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.
