    I think i'm in love.
    This might be one of the best JRPG's I have ever played, Wonderful characters, a lot of Studio Ghibli influences, In case you were scared for the cut scenes not being drawn and directed by Ghibli, let me tell you, they are still super Ghibliish, and very good.
    Extremely colorful and diverse world, monsters, characters. Every inch of this game is filled with charm and    I think i'm in love.

    I personally love the fluent real-time-battle system, it makes me want to challenge every monster I come across.

    I don't really have a bad word to say about this game tbh, it's just THAT good.
    Buy it if you want a fantastic story, characters, world, dungeons, monsters, design, colors.
    and the Humor is right up my alley. so yeah 10/10. Thanks for this gem.

    side note: The PC port is excellent too, 4k, uncapped framerate and full controller Key-bindings    … Expand

    I think it's a charmful story with easy but solid gameplay, a lot of imagination and cute characters, I was a bit confused with the short video scenes a the lack of voice acting but I finish enjoying it, I remembered the likes of Persona 5 in that scene.

    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.

    Deep in the game(barely slept). So I'll say a few things and address some of the criticism/complaints I see here.

    Firstly, the game is the most beautiful thing I've seen in my entire life. Secondly, I love the creative characters, enemies and locations. Combat is great. Story is great, but , obviously, sometimes quirky due to it being a japanese game. Kingdom building is fantastic.    Deep in the game(barely slept).

    Skirmish army battles are super fun.
    Vehicles are awesome looking.

    It really feels like a ghibli game in every aspect.

    Now for what my fellow reviewers complain about.
    Ugly character? What?
    Fetch quests? I've only encountered a few of those in side quests.
    Too much text? Ya'll never heard of jrpgs have you?

    TO start, ignore those **** who say this game is too childish and immature. Not everything needs to be gritty and mature just to be good. I didn't pick up NI No Kuni II until the difficulty setting was added, when I started playing it I knew I wouldn't want to stop. I'm currently at 60 something hours and I've been trying to reach level 4 on my kingdom. I'm currently at level 3. NNK2 is aTO start, ignore those **** who say this game is too childish and immature.

I'm currently at 60 something hours and I've been trying to reach level 4 on my kingdom. I'm currently at level 3. NNK2 is a delightfully charming game and for a series newcomer, I love it. I've spent more time doing sidequests and trying to build my kingdom. I can't think of any other game that had me more interested in doing sidequests than the main story, the main story is good itself, but my focus is on the kingdom right now.

    The game isn't without its cons however. You may find some fights slightly difficult and being limited to a select amount of healing items during a fight can be a pain if you encountered a foe that's too strong. Some of the skirmishes are way above the level of your army so you'll have to repeat a few skirmishes and do some sidequests to level up, thankfully, the skirmishes are optional and the sidequests aren't drags.

    I can't think of anything that makes me hate this game. I'm surprised I liked it as much as I do considering how I was getting tired of action RPGs and there not being enough turn based games. Nonetheless this game is charming and delightful, it's nice to play a game that's not so serious all the time. I reccomend buying this game, I just might get a subscription to PlayStation Now and play the first one. Charming game!    … Expand

    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.

    Muy buen juego, muy buenos gráficos de lo mejorcito que he visto en estilo anime, buen sistema de combate, buen diseño de personajes, la historia no es la rebomba pero tampoco es mala como mucha gente dice, hay decenas de jrpg con peor historia que este juego, buena banda sonora. Lo único que malo de este juego es la dificultad es demasiado fácil, jueguenlo en modo difícil.

    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.

    Uno de los mejores RPG de PS4, una autentica maravilla. El mundo que ha construido Level-5 es increible, fomenta mucho las exploración. Graficamente se ve espectacular, lo mejor que puedes encontrar con esta estetica grafica hoy en dia en el mundo de los videojuegos. La música otra maravilla del juego, muy buena banda sonora. Absolutamente un must have de PS4, sobre todo si eres fan de los RPG.

    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.
