And the gameplay loop is challenging enough to demand some grinding, but by no means excessively. There are a few genuinely heavy, even heartbreaking, chapters, but for most of the ride you'll be so charmed by the world and its characters that you'll wish they were real.

And indeed, the famed Dragon Ball and Chrono Trigger character designer was responsible for Dragon Quest 11's art design. The anime-inspired 3D environments are lavish, evocative, and distinctly Akira Toriyama. GamesRadar's review of the recent Switch port called it 'one of this generation's finest RPGs.' It's vast, colorful, ridiculously charming, occasionally quite touching, and ultimately satisfying. The latest adventure in the veteran Dragon Quest series is exactly that, an adventure. Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White WitchĪvailable: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC, Nintendo Switch Namely, Ni No Kuni 2 benefits from some of the most diverse, enchanting towns I've explored in a video game, and that charm bleeds through the entire experience. Characters have that same Ghibli look and environments look hand-brushed, but a closer look reveals some discrepancies. It's true Ni No Kuni 2 wasn't graced with Studio Ghibli heading up the art direction, but you might not know it at first glance. For my taste, the frantic, kinetic battling is an improvement over the first Ni No Kuni's traditional turn-based combat, but I've never been much for the latter. Studio Ghibli wasn't involved this time around, battling is no longer turn-based, and there's a whole new city management gameplay loop and skirmish battles. Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom marks more than one departure from its excellent predecessor, but stands on its own as an ambitious, rewarding JRPG with a massive heart in its center.
