Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom has an incredible amount to offer, and everything that it does is delivered and executed to the highest standard. The art style is undeniably gorgeous, and the gameplay will have you hooked from the moment you arrive in Ding Dong Dell. A charming adventure that I am so happy to have gone on. All hail King Evan!
I can’t stress enough how much I enjoyed Ni no Kuni II. It’s one of the best JRPGs in years and it’s a must-buy for fans of the genre. It’s cute, thoroughly addictive and has more tweaks and statistics than you can shake a sword at. If you enjoyed the first game, you will love this.
Ni No Kuni II is a machine that runs on beauty, fun and delight. With simple storylines and engaging characters, it weaves a narrative that captures the optimistic nature of childhood, without forgetting to deliver deep RPG mechanics. Utterly abandoning many of the confounding elements of the original title, Ni No Kuni II marches to its own quirky beat. This is a game that will be remembered as a classic.
Ni No Kuni 2 is a wholesome adventure that improves on the first game. New additions like the kingdom building adds another to the franchise. The art design and visuals are some of the best on the PS4 and the combat and exploration are both fun and engaging.
The sequel to 2013's cute and incredibly satisfying JRPG Ni no Kuni has finally released with much deserved fanfare.
It may not push any boundaries but it's still an awesome game.
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom features an all-new cast of charming characters, an emotional storyline, and innovative gameplay design that will delight and challenge players.
There are times in Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom where it almost feels too streamlined, as if some of the soul from the delightful original has been removed.
Launched on PS4 and PC at 23 March, Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom is already sound promising just from the big names behind it – it is developed by “the legendary JRPG developer” Level-5 that brought us Dragon Quest VIII and Inazuma Eleven series along with the assist of Studio Ghibli (a well-known Japanese animation film studio). We are lucky to be able to try out the game (thank you Bandai Namco), so here is our Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom review!
Ni no Kuni II attempts to offer something for everyone, and while not all of those pieces fit perfectly, things do total up to a net positive. Take a look at how the game comes together and see if this charming adventure might be for you.
At this point the PlayStation 4 is home to many quality role-playing games. From the serious tones of The Witcher 3 and the violence of Bloodborne to the eye-popping style of Persona 5 and the majesty of Horizon: Zero Dawn, there's something for just about everyone. However, very few titles can measure up to the sheer charm that's on display in Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom, a game that revels in bright colours, cartoon characters, and storybook fantasy.
Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom intensifies the action in its JRPG foundation, mirroring some of Level-5’s best work instead of leaning more heavily on the charm of Studio Ghibli. It’s resulted in a game I continue to enjoy a great deal and a desire for Level-5 to distance itself even further from the animation giant to get a peek at what the developer can do, again, when completely uninhibited in any way.
