    What Infinity Nikki lacks in difficulty, it makes up for with a gorgeous wardrobe and charmingly scenic world I can't stop poking around.
  2. Infold Games built a beautiful world I’d not be unhappy to live in. It’s a world in which creativity, passion, and empathy are the highest of virtues and can make a real difference – a message that’s more important than ever. Strolling through the landscapes of Miraland, you can forget about everything, reinvent yourself on the spot if you’d like, and simply space out as you veer from melancholy to wholesome vibes. If such a sandbox, such a retreat, is what you’re looking for, then Infinity Nikki hits the mark dead-on – but it falters the moment you crave a little more substance...For the moment, that is. Infinity Nikki will evolve over time, as live-service games tend to do, and many of its starting issues are in the realm of being fixable.

    Infinity Nikki is the stylish open-world game that players have been begging for.

    Infinity Nikki is a very beautiful game, even though it features a fairly predatory monetization scheme, it is too early to tell if it will become popular like other gacha games, and it fails to realize what crowd it wishes to sell itself to, action adventure games or dress up games?

    If you're looking for a heavy duty game to sink a few thousand hours into, this isn't for you. If you want to simply spend a few hours exploring a charming world with plenty of puzzles and platforming, Infinity Nikki might just be your dream.

    There's no denying the milestone that Infinity Nikki marks for the Nikki series, taking it from a modest mobile dress-up app exclusive to China to an expansive global release of a stature rare for femicentric games. Yet... [Issue#406, p.116]

    Developer Infold Games has created the most earnest (and sometimes absurd) story with Infinity Nikki, centered around a traditionally feminine value — style! — that connects all sorts of different players. What you get is something that’ll both bewilder and dazzle you, even when it’s frustrating.

    Will I be playing Infinity Nikki in a week? Probably not; there are too many games out there right now for a gacha-and-grind to hold my attention for more than a few hours. But as a dose of unexpected, extremely shiny weirdness, it hit the spot. If you need an aesthetic palate cleanser (say, after trudging through a load of violent sludge), you could genuinely do worse than loading it up and seeing if its version of “battling it out” hits the spot.

    I enjoyed how Infinity Nikki subverted my expectations. A gacha game managed to recreate Breath of the Wild in function and spirit while the depth and detail of the fashions spoke directly to my love of individual expression in games. It wasn’t simply an Unreal Engine 5 version of the dress-up games of the early internet but a spiritual, sartorial successor of one of the best games of the last decade.
