Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered Edition - PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4

great game and lots of fun if you like anime. however it can be a long game. battle system is a bit slow but get more fun and great story

Where do I even begin? Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is a one-of-a-kind Japanese role-playing game. As a fan of both Studio Ghibli movies and adventure role-playing games, Ni no Kuni is a dream come true. As one would expect from Studio Ghibli films, the game's story is both heartfelt and bittersweet and will make you feel like being a kid again. A lot of the gameplay in Ni no Kuni is similar to that of Pokemon, in which you befriend Familiars (Monsters who you tame to help you in your adventure) and meet other quirky and memorable characters that join you in your quest. The game is considerable in length and the updated graphics of the remastered version is a welcome addition of an already polished game.

I played through the original Ni No Kuni when it released many years ago on the PS3, the game is really fun and has a real nice art style. If you're a fan of JRPGs or Monster Collecting games then you will enjoy it! As for this remaster, I like it a lot. The game runs a lot smoother and the loading screens are much better. The graphics did not get a major overhaul (it's just a remaster after all) but everything looks clearer and has better lighting. If you already played the original you can probably give this a pass, but if you never played it then I think you should get it!

Unlike the second game, which was only "inspired" by Studio Ghibli, in this game Level 5 really worked together with the actual legendary Studio Ghibli. This means awesome aesthetics and animations, awesome music by Joe Hisaishi and great storyline. If you love JRPGs and Studio Ghibli then this is the perfect marriage of the two for you. The gameplay is slower and more Pokemon-like where you enlist familiars to fight your enemies, which means the battles are more strategic and tactical. This was one of the best releases ever made by Level 5 and it was really a blessing that it was remastered for the PS4.

I'm not even an anime fan but the art in this game is awesome. Great soundtrack, voice acting and gameplay as well.
