YouEnjoyed this game a lot more than the first game although I thoroughly loved the first game. There are stark differences between the two. You don’t need to play the first one to play the second; really this game is a 9/10 but I wanted to give it a 10 to off set some of these bad reviews which repelled me from getting this game sooner! This game I reminds me a lot of kingdom hearts but in its own way.… Expand

   There are a few things wrong with ni no Kuni 2 on the switch, like slowdown in the over world and I play it handheld so they could have madeThere are a few things wrong with ni no Kuni 2 on the switch, like slowdown in the over world and I play it handheld so they could have made it where you could adjust the size of the words on screen, or just made the words bigger. If it's tough on my eyes on the OLED I can't imagine it on the switch lite. Yet the game is so darn charming I can't resist but continue to play it. And it's portable. It has a lot of systems to learn and I originally played the first 15 hours on PS4 but gave up on it because I found it confusing but I do remember wishing that I had instead bought it for the switch. It did sit on my switch wishlist for several months before I took the plunge and I bought it after beating Grandia of the Grandia hd collection and I needed another adventure to go on and Grandia 2 didn't do it for me. Justin and Evan have a lot in common. Young and plucky and full of life setting off on an adventure to save the world or in this case, build a kingdom. I love the gameplay as far as fighting goes, and the graphics, I'm not the biggest fan when it comes to the army battles but I'm intrigued by the kingdom building and character recruiting process. There is a game of delayed gratification the game sinks into where everytime it seems you have a task there are tasks to do before you can actually complete the one you actually set out to do. Ms Boddly I'm looking at you. But I've had a fun time with the game. I find that it's much better than ni no kuni wrath of the white witch which I also bought twice and I look forward to spending more time with young Evan and company. 9.25 out of 10. This switch port doesn't hold ni no Kuni 2 revenant kingdom from being a real winner… Expand

   The game looks amazing (even for a switch port), I love the cell shaded graphics my favourite area was the forest. The issue (which is well known) is performance. There are two areas, the open world and the close encounters. The open world takes a more chibi design is sluggish with a low framerate and minor stutters. The close encounters that is cell shaded does run better.
   The game has three main gameplay loops, the quests, the skirmishes and the town building. Doing the main story quest is perfectly fine and the story I find very average. The game starts strong with the voice acting but seems to wane off throughout the game.
   This leads to me the audio. The music is suited to the game. I would prefer some more voice acting as well as when there was voice acting it was poorly balanced. The voice acting is hard to hear as t is too soft and droned out by the background music, even when audio for voice is set to max.
   My biggest problem with the game is the grinding and side quests. The game does not provide enough xp to move the story more smoothly. As you move to the next zone you will realise you are at least 5 levels too low and you may have to do a 20 side quests to move forward. These side quests are very repetitive being 'collect this item' or 'defeat this monster'. You are forced to do these as you will not have enough experience to move the main story and build your kingdom. If they made the game more focused, half of the side quests and had the city building with fewer buildings to balance the residents joining ,this could be a more pleasurable experience. Sure the game would be about 15 hours shorter but it would feel less grindy.
   The skirmishes are a fun mini game. There is a minor learning curve and depth. I got into it but it is not necessary.
   Overall this game is fine but in no means a must own. I put a little over 60 hours into it and would be happier if it was 40-45 hours.… Expand

   This is missing the charm of the original, and I'm so disappointed.

I'm only a couple of hours in, so will play a bit more to see if things change, but so far this is an enormously linear game and all about battle, battle, battle.... and it's the button-mashing style of battle, and I don't love that. The story so far is entirely ho-hum. Maybe something is going to change here, but I was fond of the last game with villages here and there on the map and the very open other parts of the map where you could engage to level up or try to avoid to get to your next destination. Instead here, there seems to be twisty mazy paths to be followed and lots of teleports so that you can get back later, and just ugh.
   
   Update: I guess I'm near the end of the game now, and I really wouldn't recommend this to anyone. So many things are repetitive, including lots of the world, shrines and caves, where they just repeat the same visual elements over and over again. Every facet of this game is grindy. Regular fighting, skirmishes, managing your country, and the different types of quests. The only thing good I can say for it is that if I have to put it down for a stretch, there's a bunch of reminders of what needs to be done. Might forget some out-of-the-way places, but overall, it's easy enough to stay on track after a break.… Expand
