    What a beautiful game! I loved the first Ni No Kuni and they captured the same atmosphere in this game. The gameplay is great: fluent battles and perfect controls. The game looks absolutely stunning and the surroundings are varied. A musthave for fans of the genre and if you've played and loved the first game, you should definitely play this one.

    There is too much to say about this game that makes it great. The bright and colorful world and cast of characters. The battles feel great and responsive. I love the Tactics Tweaker and managing the kingdom to make sure it is coming along the way I want it. I want to go into greater detail but then this review might become way too long. If you have or plan on buying a PS4 this is a must buy.

    The quests and puzzles are what ruined the game for me. So many of the quests are simple fetch quests, annoying and tedious. Combine this with their obligation in order to upgrade your kingdom so the story could advance and I was nearly tearing my hair out. I don't mind assassination missions, but there are just too many dull missions disguised as content, when really the game is quite shallow.

    The puzzles are another despairing experience, not because they're hard, but because they are just so tedious. It's basically "go there and push that switch, cross the bridge, push another switch then double back" ad infinitum. I'd much rather have skipped these and saved time.

    The final bizarre experience I've had is that around chapter 6 I suddenly found myself being quite under-levelled, which is in contrast to many reviews saying the game is quite easy. Albeit I didn't struggle much, I did lose patience with how long levelling up took. I love RPGs but the monotony here made levelling up such a tedious grind.

    If you're desperate for a JRPG then maybe go for this, but there are so many better options out there now. Do not spend anything more than £10/20 on this game.    … Expand

    Countless uninspired moments, obnoxious side quests, bad and boring gameplay that is too easy even on the highest difficulty, and you can see that the hack and slash aspect was badly thought out when enemies have no tells to their attacks and you're always swarmed.

    Awful game, very disappointing after the first one, was already fed up by the time I got to the base building part, which is probably the most fun but also the most waiting around you do.    … Expand

    This time around they make the jump feature "a bit" useful than before where jump button is a complete trash as it didn't serve any purpose or anything in the game.

    Enemy or monsters type is a complete downgrade, there are too few of them which you will meet all of them whenever you go in the world of Ni No Kuni 2.

    Input buttons is way too confusing. Even after spending around 50 hours in the game I still miss-press the button which I intended to like why you back to traditional buttons input? And there's no setting to adjust or change that.

    Once again, they are trying to create a way of customization for player in the game but for me it still just way too much. Tactic tweaker, armory which consist of 3 weapons, armor, boots, necklace, etc.

    One thing that they do right in my opinion is the addition of "Kingdom" which you manage your own Kingdom and its fun but later when you reach level 3, the coins is moving up very slow which I abandon it at the last minute.

    Conclusion: Great game but they change and broke too many great things from the 1st Ni No Kuni. Drop the game after 67 hours (Chapter 8) due to leveling is not really smooth so I often encounter enemy that 5-7 levels above me where I can say that I'm the type of grinding player when playing RPG    … Expand

After the 60th fetch quest to find more loyal subjects, I couldn't care less. This is especially true when you realized you could of probably used your level 10 weapon throughout the entire game. With no difficulty incentive, and a bad story, I often asked myself why I kept playing. Needless to say after about 25-30 hours of gameplay I rushed to the end as fast as possible to wrap things up.

    The biggest disappointment of 2018. After the magical Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch I had high expectations for the sequel, but I got a boring game, with a boring story, with shallow characters, and a simple gameplay with difficulty for 5 years old kids :/

    Battles are pretty and flashy but offer no real challenge (beyond the tainted challenge monsters).
    Shallow motivations from villains take away from the otherwise passable plot.
    Kingdom management is a nice distraction from the fetch quests. You assign your citizens around your kingdom to help you, whether it be collecting materials, making medicine, helping you learn magic...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Update 4/16/18: I have finally completed this game and after doing so I have some issues with the glaringly obtuse portions of the game both in the plot and the story not to mention some of the silliest gameplay choices I have seen in quite awhile.

    Plot: The game is whimsical and child-like, but that didn't mean the plot also had to be insipid and obvious. Villians change sides on a whim with nearly no explanation other than "Durrr, I need to be good now."

    Story: Ni No Kuni 2 doesn't know what it is, what it was going to be, whose story it is, or where it's really going. Is it Evan's story? Is it Roland's story? What character in this group has any story to speak of outside their introduction to the game? Even Doloran and his impromptu reasons for doing anything (you literally find out his reasons at the very end of the game during the final battle). I had no clue until the very end why anything happened or what everything meant....if you can even call it that. There is near to no LORE to the world and very little connection to the prior game. This line of storytelling was a massive letdown for me and soured the entirety of the experience.

    Gameplay: Combat is a joke where the only difficulty lies in simply the abnormal amount of damage later enemies can dish out (one-shot deaths) and the arbitrary limit on items usable in combat. The enemies never get more challenging...just their damage output. That is just lazy.

    Extra point-Endgame after endgame: There is no endgame...there is a ridiculous partitioning of content that can be finished after you beat the final boss. A literal chunk of the game the devs hacked off from the main game that should not have been here. Final armors/weapons/finishing off evermore and the only place where you could obtain the tools necessary to fight the game's "SECRET BOSS" (10th dream door). Not to mention the absurd notion that all the crafting items you need to get those tools reside inside this one place...and they expect you to grind and grind and grind it until you are high enough level to take it on. This was the stupidest choice Level 5 made and really left me despising them for it. Hours upon hours of building my kingdom and you stick completing it after beating everything?

    Bad job folks, really bad job.

    Orginal Score:8/10

    I enjoyed NI NO KUNI: Wrath of the White Witch, though if you asked me why I really couldn't tell you. The only things I can remember about that game was the music, the art style, the pokemon-like combat: the whimsical feel of everything. In many aspects, the first game was ALL style and ZERO substance.

    Still, for me, that was just fine, and that's rare. Superficial components never carry a title for me--I need more than that in a game, but this series did it...kind of.

    So when I heard there was going to be a new title coming and the things that I superficially liked from the first game were more or less gone--I was wary. After spending a few hours with the game though, I was pleased.

    Let's get this right out of the way: NI NO KUNI 2 is simple...Way too simple. Combat might be the easiest I have ever come across yet. At level 3 I was able to take down world enemies 8-10 levels above me with ease. Even higher level enemies were simple by steering clear of them and fighting at range. Still, you can spam enemies in straight-up combat with little worry or use of the higgles or items (at least at the very early set of the game). I don't want "dark souls" but I also don't want "sesame street" and this game veers too close to sesame street.

    The graphics are wonderful. With full 4k and HDR enabled, the game is stunning. There are very few jagged animations and movement is fluid in "dungeons" and open world combat.

    The musical score takes its cues from the original title, with soaring and whimsical arrangements to suit the moment (mostly). There were a few moments when the music and location did not line up, but can easily be overlooked due to how wonderful it is.

    The story is cheesy and frankly, common fare for the genre. I would have liked more depth, but it doesn't derail too much from the overall package. Also, the splotchy use of voice acting is a down note. Sometimes there are spoken words, sometimes you get a perfunctory word like "Yes" or "Ah" but not much more, and sometimes you just get word bubbles. I would preferred consistency here. Either actual voice acting for the whole game or NO voice acting for the whole game. As it is right now, it feels disjointed at best or unfinished at worst.

    The biggest point for me with the time I've spent with the game so far is if I will continue and finish or just abandon it for something better (or go back to a game I've already started). I think for the time being I will continue until I beat it. It seems to be a good time but doesn't do anything revolutionary. I feel like I've played this game before and that's not a bad thing, but it could have been more.    … Expand

    The story and the charm is really nice in this game, but if you'd put that away it'd be a silly excuse of a game.

I dont watch mute movies now do I?), the fighting is good, like any other game, so its par with a normal game there. half of the game you move across a mini-map where theres zero freedom so forget jumping a cross anything, walk around all of it to find out you cant. Enjoy. Then the music, it's well composed but so badly timed I had to mute it. It is NOT open world. After Persona 5 it's the most linear game I've played in my life. It has a silly opening tutorial and over explains everything. "You are now using the spell.", "You just used the spell", "The spell executed fine". Click X all the time. It's a strong 6, where most of its positive is because of the charm from Ghibli.

    Basically it's a very charming sub-par mobile game on a big screen TV. That's it. Makes me wanna give up playing games all together. But in general, a very mediocre game with a lot of charm that'd fit perfectly for a mobile phone.    … Expand

    I loved Ni No Kuni 1 and was even more surprised, that Ni No Kuni 2 was able to reach, if not even surpass, my expectations. An Amazing piece of gaming, which every JRPG fan should play!

    A modern masterpiece of storytelling that can transport you into a magical mystical world. Level-5 has brought it's years of honing their craft to bear with Ni No Kuni II and it shines! At a dynamic 4k w/ HDR on the Pro it's jaw dropping but it's so much more than that. Loose yourself in this modern masterpiece you will not be disappointed.

    Part an RPG, part a strategy game, part a city builder, as a whole a fairy tale that makes Studio Ghibli and Dragon Quest spring to mind. [06/2018, p.56]

    Ni No Kuni II is truly a tale, deliberately naïve and full of colorful characters. The combination of different genres, JRPG, management and RTS, works well, as each style is interwoven with the others.
