Ni no Kuni II managed to capture the charm and wonder that keeps RPG fans coming back to the table. Stylistically, the game manages to balance cute and serious for an all around fun ride. Surprising depth of gameplay will give completionists plenty to explore. Easy access to core features allow more casual players to enjoy most of the game as well. Level-5 does a tremendous job with optimization as well, avoiding the typical RPG pitfalls of long lectures and load screens.
While there wasn’t a huge drop in the art quality, you can still tell that the full Studio Ghibli backing was not there because of how few monster designs there are. More noticeable was the serious drop in music quality. The only really memorable song in the game was a remastering of the theme song from the first Ni No Kuni. The music isn’t exactly bad, it’s just nowhere near the quality that I was expecting after the first game. And that’s my overall feeling with this game. I do sincerely hope our readers have more fun with this game than I did, I likely would have had more fun if I never played the first title. This is not a bad game, just uneven and has a lot of different ideas thrown in without spending enough time in the oven. I wouldn’t call it a waste of your $59.99 even with the much shorter story. 30 hours is still not bad for a game, even a JRPG, and if you want to max out everything in the game it is double that. But if you end up going through the game and like it at all, I strongly recommend you go back and play Wrath of the White Witch, that is a true classic. Hopefully there will be a third game in this series that can get back to those heights.
Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom features simple plot, and this aspect can disappoint those who are waiting a deep history first and foremost. But on the other hand, game is filled with an interesting content, and shines thanks to an excellent combat system and beautiful graphics.

Overall, Ni No Kuni 2 is a really good game. There are a few shortcomings in story and narrative, but the gameplay is so good that it makes up for all these flaws. Despite enjoying the game greatly, problems associated with the text-driven narrative that is used by Ni No Kuni 2 are large enough to be noticed. But even while taking these problems into account, Ni No Kuni is still one of the best RPG's of the year and is recommended for all gamers

For most of my time spent playing Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom, I loved the beautiful world and engaging combat - the core of the game. But every once in a while, everything would grind to a halt and I'd have to deal with the overworld strategy mechanics that feel poorly integrated. Luckily, this sequel has enough great moments to overcome those annoyances.
With "Ni No Kuni 2: Fate of a Kingdom" Level 5 is a skilful sequel to a small epic and will make the hearts of role-playing fans beat faster. Thanks to great landscapes, the work not only looks beautiful, but also tells an emotional story that invites you to philosophize even after gambling. Even if the composition of different genres seems exciting in theory, experts won't get their money's worth, especially regarding the combative component. While Ni No Kuni 2 seems made for the younger target group, pros won't be happy with the shallow level of difficulty. Nevertheless, the title does a lot right in a playful way and is by no means in the shadow of its predecessor. Fans of the first part get fresh food for many hours with Ni No Kuni 2.

Level-5 has done it again as they delivered another thoroughly enjoyable JRPG thus proving that the genre isn't going anywhere.
Overall Ni No Kuni 2: The Revenant Kingdom is a great RPG. It looks beautiful, combat is satisfying and, as a bonus, the higgledies are cute. Surely it’s one the best RPGs of 2018 so far. It can be too easy in places, which might turn off hardcore fans, yet its world and atmosphere are good enough to make up for it.
Level-5 has made something truly special, managing to capture the whimsical and heartfelt charm of a Ghibli story even more so than when it worked with Ghibli itself! This is an absolutely wonderful tale; a fantastic fable that makes up for every little flaw by giving the player a monumental amount of things to do and play with. Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is a must play for Ghibli fans, fans of the first Ni No Kuni, fans of JRPGs, Suikoden fans, and just about anyone who appreciates a good adventure in general.
The lack of Studio Ghibli’s explicit involvement with Ni no Kuni 2 has only slightly dulled its charm, missing the darker edge or deeper exploration of its characters beyond that familiar glossy sheen. Level-5 has still put together a wondrous and whimsical RPG to lose yourself in for many hours.
This follow-up to the Studio Ghibli-inspired role playing game is packed full of things to do
Despite issues with its difficulty, Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom does enough to set itself apart from its predecessor, delivering a tremendous fantasy JRPG in a bright and glorious world.
All things considered, I am having a lot of fun with Ni No Kuni 2 – Its world is colourful, bustling and interesting, its characters engaging and exciting, and the stories of each country hook onto you and drag you in for just a few more hours. I don’t know how the game will conclude at this point, but I dearly do hope that it doesn’t abandon the darker roots of its opening, and explore more of Evan’s struggles.
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is yet another classic example of a sequel done right.
