Ni No Kuni 2: Before You Buy

Ni No Kuni 2 (PS4) is a beautiful JRPG. But what's it all about? How does it play? Let's break it down.

Watches before you buy, after I’ve already bought... lol

My only complaint with Ni no kuni 2 is lack of voice acting in many scenes.

I was a day 1 player and can personally say this is worth the buy. This took me roughly 100 hours to do everything in the game. Except for my kingdom building. Plenty of content for your money and well worth the bucks spent if you like JRPGs. The story is Fanfuckintastic and the gameplay once you've figured out the mechanics of everything makes this game worthwhile.

This game is so underrated by most players. It's one of the best JRPG's on PS4.

I really love how you review each game. Straight on point. No sugar coated.

I actually prefer hack and slash over monster collecting, despite really enjoying the first game. So I'm definitely buying this soon.

IGN said the characters lack development and don't contribute much to the story, which ends up feeling flat. I value more your opinion, Falcon. Great job, I look forward to buy this game soon.

This may sound a little childish but I just wanted to say: in skirmishes when you call for reinforcements, the little syncronized dance they do makes me so happy. I've spent lots of hours playing that mode just because I enjoy watching them and hearing Evan shout "Chaaarge!" and "We can't afford to lose!" in his british accent.
Truly, this game makes me smile and I'm really glad I bought it :)

I adore this game, and Higgledies are really effective, and adorable. I like using them. I liked the first Ni No Kuni for the story, but that combat system gave me a damn headache. Your teammates were not that helpful, and they kept dying. Ni No Kuni 2 battle system is really fun, and refreshing. My best friend got this for me as a birthday gift, and I am so glad he did. Also for those asking if you need to play the first one. No you don't, unless you just want it for the story. This game just takes place 100 years after the first in the same world.

To me this game is successful (I have completed it) because of its ability to retain that classical Studio Ghibli fantastical fiction and wonder without being childish. The art style continues to be amazing as they always have. Gameplay manages to capture my attention and keep me interested for 40-ish hours. It plays and feels like a Studio Ghibli animation that you can participate, which should be enough to capture the hearts of all Ghibli fans out there.

Played the game. Finished it. Loved it. Some may say the game is too short for a JRPG (Approx 40-50 hrs or so). However, with the recent update, it took me 100hrs to complete it.
The updated version 4.00 adds extra difficulty which are Hard and Expert.
Play the game in Expert. Its worth it and its basically a loot fest.
You can easily get purple tier items playing in Expert difficulty.
Its very challenging but it's super worth it.

This is my first Ni No Kuni game and I have to say totally worth the money I have 30+ hours in this game and I'm still not bored.

Its on sale again for ps4 for anyone still wanting to start this game 🥳

[MOGz]

I thought Evan was a girl... mistakes have been made

[divinehazrd]

Are you guys gonna do a before you buy for A way out?

[thoet]

Buy this game because Roland is daddy. That's it.
*BUY IT*

[koolaidmanplz]

This review was good enough to buy it. It's on sale on PSN right now lol. Thank you

[doobie_mouse]

This game is simply phenomenal. It takes the essence of every jrpg trope and boils it down to a caramel sticky puddle of syrupy joy. Its just so damn fun to play. None of the elements of this game are done better than in other games, but the streamlined nature of each allows your focus to shift around at a whim so that you are constantly excited with each new shiny experience.

And my god! That soundtrack.

I swear if people were able to be objective about video games ....

Listen its better than Breath of the Wild. It just is. Please play this.

[michaelsouzams]

I have the collectors edition and I’m still watching this😂😂😂

[beanbaked]

Little 5 years late, but I’ve had this game for years now and still super fun to play. I got all of the DLC’s and come back for a full completion of the game once or even multiple times a year! Would definitely still recommend it
