Ni no Kuni™ II: Revenant Kingdom

cant change control layout on PC from type A to B so block and dodge share a button making combat unplayable.

juegaso me gusto mas que el primero

Very fun and cute game. story is a bit forgettable but its overall a good time.

Приятная сказка в виде jrpg, графика и музыкальное сопровождение прекрасны. Сюжет цепляет с первых минут игры. В игру добавили все что можно было напихать, моментами душно, но даже так я не заметил провел в игре более 100ч. Основной сюжет проходится достаточно быстро и не душит, но вот DLC/второстепенные задания просто вытягивают игровое время, кто играл - тот поймёт. В целом игру советую, на 2-3 вечера приятной ламповой атмосферы я вам гарантирую.

Its so bad... The controls are weird, the optimisation is all over the place. Clearly made for console and I bet it would play great on that but the fps and controls and other things just make it a headache on pc. Started okay, gave it a fair shot, but its bad sighhhh Go Play Dragon Quest 11s its 10/10 and makes this look like trash

This is my 2nd playthrough of the game after having finished it on the Switch. Definitely not my favorite JRPG, but it's cozy and I enjoy the side quests to recruit citizens for the kingdom. This is a good JRPG, maybe even great. The combat could be more fun (prepare to be staggered over and over by the enemies) but I still enjoy all aspects of the game. Solid 7/10.

I was going to write a comically short review, reference the length of my review for Ni No Kuni I, and just be like, "game good, do recommend lol." But the more I thought about it, the more I drafted an actual review in my head and might as well not let the thought go to waste. I think it's appropriate having logged 240 hours in one playthrough and nearly 90% of all achievements unlocked. There is a world of difference between NNK1 and NNK2. I feel the writing of the story and characters took a dip between 1 and 2, although both at least have awesome music. Characters do not seem as intrinsically tied to the magic and world-building in 2 as they did in 1. A lot of context to NNK2 seems to assume you played NNK1, so--although you could pick this up without ever having played the first game as very little ties the two together--you may feel a little blindsided by certain plot points. This may be less noticeable if you have the paid DLC from the start of the game, but that was not the case for me, and I have yet to playthrough now that I have it myself, so I cannot confirm yet. Anyway... The world-building shifts from the magic and counterparts in NNK1 to cultures and organizing an international political structure in NNK2. Not exactly an issue for me (poli-sci grad here), but I don't blame anyone criticizing the story for feeling less magical than NNK1 and focusing instead on Fantasy World United Nations. The most generous way to view NNK2's plot is as a Ghibli-style children's storybook about getting along with others and solving intense problems with friendship instead of war and political assassination. Otherwise, the idealism in this aspect of the story may make a cynic roll their eyes. But overall, it was actually fun exploring the world to find Tainted monsters and other side quests. The story isn't breaking this game for me because, like NNK1, this is first and foremost a videogame. The story is enough. It won't outclass many other beloved RPG stories (don't go in expecting something near par of FFVI or Expedition 33, etc.), but it's okay. Characters were kind of bland at times. There was some character development, but I found most of the more compelling character moments were in the paid DLC. The main cast was interesting enough to follow but not interesting enough to leave a meaningful impression on me. Some of the major NPC's were amusing to interact with, though. The main villain's story also brought a few tears to my eyes. Battle system definitely improved since NNK1, especially with the AI for NPC's (although not perfect but nonetheless vastly better). About 95% of my review of NNK1 was criticizing the clunky, awkward, and confusing battle system. Here, NNK2 fully embraced the "action" in "action RPG." It is a remarkable improvement from a gameplay standpoint. Neither NNK1 nor NNK2 are visual novels (although 1 really should've been), so battle mechanics are important considerations here. When the enemy interrupts your spell and you both lose the MP and don't cast the spell? When it does happen, it is a legitimate skill issue (like I didn't block or move out of the way instead of charging right at the enemy). Instead of this feeling like a random and totally unfair thing, it's a proportionate consequence to my skill issue or inattention. Most of all, NO MORE ENDLESS MENUES TO SCROLL THROUGH. There is DLC that comes with the base game for free, but there's also paid DLC referred to as the season pass; this includes both "The Tale of a Timeless Tome" and "The Lair of the Lost Lord." If you were me and bought the DLC after completing the base game, then you may actually find the paid DLC refreshing. It adds more battle mechanics that require a little more skill and is therefore more rewarding. I saw many reviews on each DLC that it's monotonous because it's basically just more of the Dreamers Door levels; however, I disagree. The levels are monotonous on the surface, but learning these new battle mechanics made it more engaging. Also, the armor you can get in the Labyrinth is definitely needed if you want to complete the Soloseum Slog. However, if you want only the two hours of extra story and lore, then slip the season pass and just watch some LP's on YouTube and keep the $20 USD+tax. With that said, there are a few odd choices. First, it's a bit of a bummer that a lot of scenes weren't fully voice-acted. Just seemed like a weird choice when compared to NNK1, but I suppose the bulk of the budget went to improving the battle system and not paying the voice actors for more of their time. If you were going with less voice acting, at least make the font larger or give us a setting to make the font easier to read. Major thing: there were a few glitches that aren't just about achievements not being earned. [1] If you are going through the Faraway Forest Dreamer Maze or the DLC Labyrinth, there is a chance that you may spawn into a level that has absolutely no exit which will force you to reset your game. [2] Unsure if this can happen to other bosses anywhere else, but the dragon boss on the final level of the Faraway Forest Dreamer Maze did the summon-another-enemy thing, flew away, then came back to the battle without a hitbox. No matter which character I swapped to, neither I nor the other two NPC's could hit it which forced me to reset. Couldn't even target it, so... unfortunate reset... SKIRMISHES.... this minigame was the bane of my existence. Felt really odd and ultimately frustrating trying to get certain skirmishes to spawn on the map to complete all skirmishes. Don't mind the hours I've logged in this game at the time of this review. The main game can be completed in significantly less time (perhaps around 60-80 hours). Mine is just high because there is a kingdom-building component to this game that is essentially away-from-keyboard as long as the game is running; it wracks up quite a bit of money and goods from stores. Since I work from home, I sometimes just popped on the game so that I can collect money and items in between my work tasks. I wouldn't recommend doing this if you want to play the game as clearly intended, though. I only did this to get more money to up my abilities in skirmishes because I hate skirmishes and wanted the plot-mandatory ones to go as quickly as possible. I think my only other complaint is the world's most frustrating optional side quest in the history of all frustrating optional side quests: the stinky shoes. It's very likely that you do find the stinky shoes naturally within the first few hours of the game, but the stats are so low that you might've sold them for better gear or to just prune your inventory to find your good equipment easier. So from the last time you get the stinky shoes more organically to the time a certain quest for stinky becomes available, you're out of luck if you don't want to grind for it because (apparently and according to most of the internet) the drops are proportional to your level. I was about 234 hours into the game when I was finally able to complete that quest, and that quest (with a recommended level of like 45) was my final quest with all my characters at the max level of 150. Also, I do prefer the Higgledies over NNK1's familiars. But I will say that not having a dinosaur wrecking peoples' entire days with one punch was surprisingly empty. (I miss you, Tim the Catastroceros. I hope you're doing well somewhere in my headcanon of this sequel.) Overall, it's the inverse of NNK1: great gameplay with meh to okay story. I would still recommend for completionists because there is certainly much to do besides the main story! Unlike NNK1, NNK2's extra stuff didn't seem like a grind-fest even though it was. After a break from this one, I may come back to is one day to see how the DLC plays out when it is integrated from the start of the game. For now, I'm satisfied with this game enough to recommend it so long as you keep your expectations of story tempered.

Wer hat sich diese scheiße aus gedacht! Größte Rotze die ich je gespielt habe! ABSOLUT KEINE EMPFEHLUNG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haven't gotten around to finishing it yet but it's a relaxing and enjoyable game. It's like Suikoden and Star Ocean had a child that was rated E, but also it had graphics like Dark Cloud 2/Dark Chronicle.

I love the art style. It's basically if Ghibli made a game. I think it would be a great multiplayer game if that were possible.
