A fair warning to all adult or older buyers. I bought this game due to the overwhelming positive respond and reviews. And I can say that its all true, so I wont repeat all the good things about the game here, you proberly know it already. But .. ... ... This i not a game for me, so I wont recommend it. What many reviews fail to mention, is that this game is for a much younger audience. I am 5 hours in and im just soooo bored. The story is too child friendly for me. The characters so far have no egde to them. The combat is simple and way too easy for me. The battle mode is like a mobile game, just so .. .. .. meh. Maybe the fact that the main villain is a rat should have been a warning sign about the games younger themes to me. So its partly my fault. But I think its silly so many reviews fail to memtion this fact. This game is for a younger audience. Or people who like a little more disney style fantasy game. It is a good game. But not for me. I like my JRPG in the style of Tales of Beseria. More dark with some drama and characters with depth. More adult dialog. Im not saying this game cant be played or enjoyed by older gamers. I just want a fair warning out there, that this is what I would call "lite disney fantasy" without that being a bad thing. Just not a game for me. Hope you guys enjoy it if you buy.Show moreShow less

Stealing part of someone else's gripes about the game to explain why it's perfect- "Instead, you're the leader of the UN helping a catboy build a kingdom and unite the world (forgive everyone in the process! there are no consequences they were being manipulated by <insert final boss with weak twist here> and are therefore free of crimes according to the literally 12 year old catboy emperor)." Don't you ever just want to play something NICE? This is it. It's not a gritty reboot, Wolverine won't lose three daughters in a pile of gore- there's no grey on grey main character who's so cynical your eyes bleed facing off against an enemy written to have a good point really, because the world is terrible and Thanos is probably right. You help a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ catboy make a happy kingdom. Is it hard? No, it isn't. Probably not even at highest levels. It's not designed to hurt you that way either. Bros, this game is not designed to hurt you at all- it's like Therapy, lol. You're gonna be a father figure to an autistic catboy and help him live out his dreams. There's no romance options. You cannot do a dark run through. It will not teach you something about politics or yourself. You are going to help a catboy make a world where everyone can be happy. And when you do you'll smile. Because you made Evan happy. And because you're not as dead inside as you thought you were.Show moreShow less

Ni no Kuni 2 is a hard game to rate with a simple Yes/No. You can immediately see a lot of TLC went into it, but at the same time parts of it are baffling in their tastelessness. The graphics are very good and the world and character design is among the best I have ever seen. Goldpaw is probably the most breathtaking town I have ever encountered in a video game. The battle system is fair. While serviceable, it is essentially a half-baked Tales clone too reliant on rolling and invincibility frames, at least on the harder modes. Companion AI is also spotty, getting wiped out by AOE attacks a human player would see coming a mile away. Also middling in their implementation are the army battles and city minigame. Both could have been great with the proper rules, but, as they are, they rely on brute force more than any kind of strategy and add little to the game except extra hours. However flawed the gameplay, the real problem here is the story. Being a long-time Tales fan, I have heard a lot of corny, idealistic speeches over the years. This game, however, tops them all by a large margin. Calling the plot juvenile and predictable doesn’t even begin to describe it. During the first meeting with King Evan I told my wife “Mark my words, every single bad guy in this game is going to be redeemed.” That guess was spot-on, and I am horrible at predicting plot developments. This is not a game you play for story unless you are six. I feel bad giving Ni no Kuni 2 a “Not Recommended”. This is one of those games I wish I could rate halfway. It has a lot to like, and obviously a ton of effort went into it. But with the glaring flaws in gameplay and story, it ultimately comes across as an example of style over substance. Tales has set a high bar in the genre, and Ni no Kuni 2 just doesn’t offer enough up where it counts.Show moreShow less

Score: 9/10 Time to Complete: Approx 35 hours (without sidequests) Time to 100%: 70 hours Similar games: Tales of Berseria, Final Fantasy XV Since being a huge fan of both Studio Ghibli and the previous Ni No Kuni game (bought a PS3 back in the day just to play it!) I had high hopes for this and it didn't disappoint. From beginning to end I was grossly absored in it's many mechanics and couldn't put it down until I had done as much as I could. An absolutely addictive gem to play from start to finish. PROS: Just so much content! - From upgrading weapons and armour, finding collectible creatures called Higgeldies and leveling them, managing your castle, recruiting civilians, traversing deram-door labyrinths for loot and levels, to army-scale skirmishes and hunting down darkness-riddled monsters: This game has SO SO MUCH to do. So much so that it's easy to get addicted to one element of the game and then switch to another when you need a break. So much so that it hits this sweet spot of always being fun and having something to do. Let me tell you, the most addictive part of this game is easily recruiting civilians. It's like Mother Base from Metal Gear Solid 5 all over again! But you know, with cutesy Japanime charm. Ghibli Magic - This is a game that is absolutely beautiful, from its sound design to its art direction, everything shines with that Ghibli magic (although the studio themselves where not directly involved in this game like they were in the first). The effort involved to make the game's primary cityscapes is simply lovely and very enjoyable to traverse through. It also has some nice little touches that some would overlook, but others would appreciate. For example, in a later Chinatown inspired area you meet people with names similar to Chinese ones, while also being influenced by their race/profession. Like Bao Wow the dog or Nu Bi the newbie apprentice. Like I said, the game is full of little things like this that make me smile. As a brief sidenote, I think this is an excellent game for a parent to recommend to their child if they want them to get into RPGs like I did when I was a wee little'un. CONS: Underdeveloped characters - For all it's multifaceted gameplay mechanics and lovely looks which will keep you engaged and absorbed from start to finish, the actual group of companions feel very much underdeveloped - with the exception of Evan and Roland. People will join your ragtag group for very little rhyme or reason and you don't really understand much of their motives, nor develop their characters any further. They very much take a back seat in these regards and I can only assume because greater emphasis was placed on city-building and exploration. Another issue is that sometimes during key points in the story the development process felt very hot and cold. Some of the time no expense is spared for the voice acting and character animation while at others it's very diluted. Understandable in the pointless fetch quests that populate the game, but quite often this happens during key dialogues as well which I felt hampered the emotional gravitass of those moments. Difficulty? - For the entirity of my playthrough, barring a small handfull of endgame content (looking at you, Faraway Forrest) - this game was shockingly easy. Does a game need to be difficult to be good? No, not at all, so I only consider this a minor issue. But I did find it rather peculiar when going up against a boss they would die very, very quickly - sometimes even within seconds. I'm not bragging saying that I must be some kind of pro-tier gamer - look at me! look how easy this is! - but quite the opposite, I played the game no different from any other RPG I play. My only reasoning for the ease of gameplay is that it's not that important to the game overall, and that it also attracts both a wider and younger demographic. Which is understandable. Speed - Another minor gripe. Your character moves REALLY FREAKING SLOWLY LIKE through the game world and it isn't until several hours in can you get a slight speed boost, but it's still annoying to have your character move really slowly through all these big, long dungeons that you just have to keep mashing the dodge button just to get the tiniest little boost. So in conclusion - although I must admit - it does feel clear that Studio Ghibli very much stepped back from this game, as it lacks the animated cutscenes and emotional resonance that the first game packed, I still found myself full of child-like glee and wonder. Is this game better than its predecessor? No. Do you need to play the first to enjoy this one? No. Is this still an excellent game and one I would recommend to any RPG enthusiast/fan of lovely animations? 100% YES!Show moreShow less

How can mainstream reviews be that wrong? everyone is praising the game as "one of the best rpgs 2018". The game got a lot of overwhelming positiv reviews but after finishing the game, i am wondering, if critics have played the whole game. First of all : Graphics, art design and soundtrack are really great! Combat system is OK: mostly just button smashing with a little bit of evasion. But the story is way to long and uninteresting. you dont need 9! chapters and an average playtime of 35-40 hours, to tell this kind of story. The story itself is really simple, can be told in few sentences and not worthy of a JRPG. There is zero character developement as well and everything you do in the world, doesnt matter at all. yes, there are a lot of activities in the world like battles or managing your empire, but none of that matters for the story and those things get kinda boring after a short time as well. basically, i skipped everything in the last 3 chapters, cause i just wanted to get over with the game and know the disappointing end. The game has tons of content but if you are interested in a great story and interesting characters, i cant recommend this game.Show moreShow less

I just finished Ni No Kuni 2 and I have to say I quite enjoyed it. I'm 30 years old and just love the easy going nature of this game. Good characters, a bit childish yet, but it has a lot of heart and the story is sweet and adorable. Worth every penny. Would buy again to support great titles suchas this in the future!Show moreShow less

You ever meet someone who is just so beautiful and attractive, and you get to know them and they're kind of a ♥♥♥♥, maybe not intollerable but definitely not very favorable? Kinda how I feel about this game. This game is absolutely and incredibly stylish and beautiful without a doubt, but there's an ungodly plethera of annoyances that made me have no motivation to continue after ~22 hours and so close to the end. I desperately wanted to like this game and kept pushing through, but there's so little of value here except for how pretty it is. If you need an example about how visuals aren't what make the game, here ya go y'all. PROS: - Phenomenal visuals - Good voice acting (sometimes can be annoying) - Nice variety of scenery in some locations - Average but lacking combat - Pretty nice animations - Okay sound design CONS: - Uninteresting and sometimes predictable story - Combat can be sluggish & is pretty basic for an action RPG; Attacks don't feel very impactful - Obnoxious and boring RTS-lite gameplay segments - Boring characters & next to no character development - Very slow movement throughout the map for many hours of the game - Kinda unbalanced within the characters; I mainly used Roland b/c his massive range w/ skills & because they're so powerful and cover so much ground, kinda neglected many of the other characters because of how inferior they were to him - Tacky and horrendous soundtrack throughout much of the game (especially in Goldpaw, jesus christ) - Awful stuttering issue on PC (not sure if it was fixed since I last played) Like I said earlier, I really wanted to like this game but I just can't. I guess a 6/10? Idk, I don't want to think about this game anymore.Show moreShow less

Ni No Kuni is the RPG that was almost. It was almost good, almost told a good story, almost could be remembered as one of the best. Unfortunately it's not. I'm going to spend my time talking about exactly what's wrong with the game. It starts off strong, incredibly strong, infact, the time between the opening cutscene and actually playing the game is short and concise, and keeps you moving while still adding more mechanics. The game's pace of moving you through well designed areas, challenges, and new characters is fantastic. That is, until you reach and finish the first town of your alliance. The game has exhausted everything new to show you, and it's pacing, ideas, and characters all sort of collapse at this point. Game balance goes out the window and everything becomes incredibly easy. Sidequests that don't specifically give you town members are almost pointless. Every town and area after goldpaw seemes rushed and cramped, like they couldn't bother. Placement of secondary quests and objectives seems almost completely random, like they ran out of time to properly implement them. There are enemies and caves that you can't reach unitl you get an airship, and by then you're ridiculously stronger. The game's soundtrack is fantastic, except for the part where it's extremely limited and forced to reuse most of it's tracks. Worse than that, are the copypaste side area forest/caves that litter the world map. We're not talking elder scrolls in terms of the time tileset, but almost indentical areas ala mass effect 1. The same thing for the enemies, there's only about 10 different enemy types with pallet swaps, not including the 6 or so unique bosses. The game picks up again when you revist the starting town, but the damage has been done. A lot of the systems feel like there weren't enough time added to them, higglies are kind of a timesink and barely effect much, the army combat is almost fun, but is just too simple. Even the base combat seems just a little off, just use basic attacks and one skill as most of the skills aren't useful at all. A few other things that point towards the game being rushed or unfinished: Two of the larger areas in the game have basically 0 plot significance, and during the last part of the game plot threads that haven't been hinted at all just come out of literally nowhere to be revealed to you, there's even a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awful cliche time travel plot thread that gets shown to you for basically 0 reason other than to frustrate you.Show moreShow less
