    Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch will always be one of the best JRPGs ever. It perfectly combines a heartfelt story of a young lad on a mission with supremely enjoyable gameplay all set in a breathtaking world.

    This beautiful Remastered version brings to actual consoles one of the most intriguing and magical JRPGs made by Level-5. Be sure not to miss it... again.

    Studio Ghibli and Level- 5 join forces again to deliver a remaster of a game that detaches magic and charisma at its artistic level and amply meets the requirements of the classic JRPG genre, giving rise an experience that, despite some small imperfections that prevent it from standing as a perfect videogame, it becomes a journey hard to forget.

    Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is a modern classic in all the right ways. A great story, beautiful music, great combat and wonderful characters make this a RPG everyone needs to play.

    Ni no Kuni hasn’t aged a bit. While PC and PS4 versions make the most of it visually, the Switch version looks fantastic. No matter what version you go for, Ni no Kuni is great.

    I’m not saying this is a no effort port, but that the effort put in and the price they are asking for a game that is six years old seem disconnected. Right now there are plenty of great RPGs available that are new and with a price tag so high it’s hard to suggest the old game rather than the new one. I can only recommend this to people who have never played it or the hardest of hardcore Ni No Kuni fans because otherwise just wait for a sale to play this one again.

    Great jrpg, I think this game is slightly better than the sequel. The story, gameplay and the music were all great.

It’s a mixture between Harry Potter and Pokemon with its own charm. The story is compelling and emotional, The world is enchanting, the fights are super fun. I played on the PS3 and I’m playing again on the switch. I constantly want the game to last longer and longer. It’s not boring even for one second. The bad reviews are very vague, from people that want to play Final Fantasy 100 times and get upset when other RPGs aren’t like FF. Ignore the bad reviews and get this game! You will thank me.… Expand

    I don't remember a game, which gave me more mixed feelings. From the one side - this game is perfect. Epic, beautiful, heartwarming, trulyI don't remember a game, which gave me more mixed feelings. From the one side - this game is perfect. Epic, beautiful, heartwarming, truly masterpiece. From the other side, the JRPG system just doesn't do it. Often you just have to grind, and grind, and grind.. Especially, when one particular NPC gives you a "bring me those creatures" quest, so, you have to defeat one hundred same enemies until one of them will join your party. Another thing, the second part of the story looks torn out... So, it's really something between 8 and 9, depending on your glass-half-empty-or-half-full character.… Expand
