IGN Reviews - Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Video Review

[TheToneBender]

Just saw it massively discounted on Switch. I'm so getting this.

[Dragonk]

This game seriously needs to be on the PS4, especially with the sequel coming around the corner.

[yatesy]

I bought this last year played a couple of hours and really couldn't for some reason or other get into the gameplay. But recently I ended picking it up again - I'm so glad I did. The story/gameplay is utterly unique. The best RPG I've played in a long long while.

[claudiagonzaga]

So I've just finished it... and I just want to share it: this game has the best sense of adventure I've ever experienced in any game ever. Simply a masterpiece... Level 5 is now one of my top favorite studios! Give us Ni No Kuni 2 please :)

[warzazette]

I'm impressed by the graphics. It's PS3 omg °_° I think it's more beautiful than some new-gen games.

[Dogyphil]

This game isn't as popular as it should be :c

[antoniomendes]

Ni No Kuni is the Pokemon game we always wanted!

[alexj]

Imagine a collaboration between Studio Ghibli, Level-5 and game freak...

If a Pokemon game on the Wii u was like Ni No Kuni then it would literally sell millions upon millions. It would be amazing - a game which would define its platform!

Bought this for 15 bucks on the switch e-shop, I started it today and I'm currently about 6 hours into it and I am in LOVE!!

[edgeofablade]

I picked this game up at a car boot sale/ garage sale a few years ago, and I honestly loved it. I’ve played over 200 hours (two near 100% runs) of it, which is the longest I’ve over put into one singular game. The hand drawn cutscenes were amazing and I always loved them

Havent finished the game yet,
But so far this is my take on the game.
The goods
• beautiful artstyle
• classic ghibli animation
• lovable characters
• fun story
• great voice acting
• tons of monter to capture
• tons of bosses
• tons of places to visit
• tons of equipment

The bads
• grinding
• walking around
• lack of voice acting
• fetch side quest
• dumb AI party (wont block enemy special attack)
• slow pacing in battle and storywise
• no replay value

One of my favorite games of all time, up there with dark souls

[shortleafmedia]

greetings from the future! we have Pokemon on the Nintendo switch. Sadly this looks way better than Pokemon sword and shield on the switch. plus it even has voice acting and a beautiful score. This came out 7 years ago! Nintendo and game freak... WTH BRO!!!

[thisjointisloose]

Most of my favorite games are Japanese. 
Shadow of the Colossus
Ni No Kuni
Silent Hill
Chrono Trigger
many more

[fable]

Just scored it for $4.50, thanks flash sale!

[nola]

I LOVE that game! The characters, the music, the humor and the story, everything is on point! I enjoyed every second of it; can't wait to play the sequel!

[JohnnySoCal]

I'm playing this on my Nintendo Switch and loving it. It's completely charming, from its art style and music. Highly recommended.

[maximellow]

I've played 3 hours of this and I'm still just at the beginning. This game is so big!

[BretBaber]

I haven't loved playing a game this much since Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid, and Final Fantasy IX.

[xjosie]

I’ve heard about this game before. When it was released on Playstation, but never took to me.. Until I saw it discounted for €9, 99 in the Nintendo Eshop. That was two weeks ago. And now I’ve finished this game. I’ve never ever cried for a game story. Yet it had me bawling within the first 15 minutes. This game is AMAZING. The music, the story, the battle system and the use of anime 😭 Absolutely love this game ♥️
