The editors liked
Charming
Funny
And full of great moments
Excellent anime-inspired visuals
A best-in-class soundtrack that perfectly captures the game's various moods
An interesting world filled with delightful characters
Demanding combat that rewards reflexes and smart decision making
Twists and unexpected
Action RPG combat that scales from easier fights all the way up to brutal monster hunts in the postgame
Kingdom building is integral to the success of Evermore
Recruiting new citizens feels like a spiritual successor to Suikoden
On the shorter side
It
The story is elegant in its simplicity and execution
From beginning to end
Game modes are thrilling and maintain strong narrative consistency
Characters are charming and the world is adorable yet real
The editors didn't like
Too easy
Story whiffs at the end
Relies too often on basic fetch quests
Secondary activities resort to an off-putting visual style
Most characters in your party feel underdeveloped
Skirmish battles never become fun or essential
Joe Hisaishi tracks
While beautiful
Don't quite fit a 40hour RPG
Higgledies feel a bit underwhelming and there's little reason to raise up the perfect team
Could have had better pacing or stronger pathos late game

Abstract: Once the obvious decrees have been made – free sweets, everlasting school holidays! – most children, if asked to reign for a day, would surely wish for peace and plenty for their kingdom. So it is with Evan Pettiwhisker Tildrum, a prince made, in sudden a...
Gorgeous to behold, Chock-full of fantasy character, Exemplary battle system, Gameplay mechanics mesh beautifully, Child-like vibe masks serious underlying themes
Initial stages are too linear, Skirmish system not as much fun as battling, Some may see the graphical veneer as off-putting, No Nintendo Switch version (sad face)
Overall, Ni no Kuni II shows that JRPGs can retain their unique and very Japanese charm, yet provide all the depth of gameplay along with instantly accessible and enjoyable action, that the very best Western RPGs provide.Anyone who has any sort of penchan...

Abstract: Japanese role-playing games tend to be pretty specialist, with anime-style graphics and rather old-fashioned, often turn-based gameplay. But Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom, whose gorgeous visual style was created in collaboration with feted animation pio...
NNK2 is very much a JRPG. It features all the notes and tropes you'd expect from a game of this genre, and isn't doing anything major to reinvent the wheel.Having said that, it's not really trying to. It's attempting to build and refine upon the genre and...
Worldbuilding is so vivid it adds color to every part of the game, Kingdom Management mode is satisfying enough to be a game all on its own, Creature design is straight out of the Ghibli playbook
The strategy skirmish mode is compulsory, but not compelling
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is the RPG adventure that's like shooting sunshine right into your veins. So clear your calendar, because Level-5 is about fill it with monsters, magic, and city management...

The kingdom-building system is incredibly addictive and hugely rewarding, The Ni No Kuni universe is still as loony and adorable as before, Gorgeous animation
Inconsistent difficulty pacing, Underwhelming boss battles
So has Revenant Kingdom usurped Wrath of the White Witch as the new king of JRPGs? Personally, I don't think so. While developer Level-5 has to be applauded for taking risks by overhauling the combat system and introducing the absolutely fantastic kingdo...
Following in The Wrath of the White Witch's footsteps was never going to be an easy task for Level-5 and, in all honesty, it could have simply phoned it in and still made money. It hasn't done that, however, and it's a far better game for it.What Level-5...
Ni no Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom has the potential to be one of 2018's finest adventures, featuring a lovable cast, gorgeous world and engaging combat system. Here's hoping that Kingdom Battle doesn't play a major role – currently it lacks enough depth or c...
