“A really good looking game but also a pretty boring one. You can tell a lot of people got bored after the initial excitement from the art style by how the achievement percentage drops from 70% to 20% after the first 2…”
“I wanted to love it, but I walked away incredibly disappointed. To the surprise of no one, the art and style are gorgeous—but unfortunately, that is where the compliments end. For Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch,…”
“Whilst I will always recommend this game to people, I cannot recommend the Steam version of it. I had a bug where it wouldn't allow me to save. I tried a handful of fixes and none worked and eventually I had to give up…”

“10/10. Made me shed a few tears as well, honestly good story & I LOVE that they collaborated with Studio Ghibli. Instantly knew it had a Studio Ghibli vibe as it reminded me of Spirited Away.”
“I was originally going to skip this game and play Ni No Kuni Ruined Kingdom until my friend suggested I play them in order, and I'm very happy I listened. There's a lot of things this game does right. Character…”
“I just finished this game last night. And well, just like with NNK2, I didn’t continue into the post-game like most people do once the main story is over. From what I’ve read, the post-game side quests are an absolute…”

“This game captures the ghibli magic very well it basically feels like an interactive ghibli movie. The combat mechanics have its flaws for sure but i still like it.”

“I'm disappointed with this game. Aside from the occasional Studio Ghibli cutscenes, pretty (but nothing more) graphics, and pleasant music, it has nothing to offer. All the limitations of the original Nintendo DS…”
“Ni no Kuni is one of those games that wraps around you like a warm blanket — the Studio Ghibli art style is genuinely stunning, and Joe Hisaishi's soundtrack never once got old across my 50+ hours with it. Drippy is an…”

“Do not be fooled by my low hours played count on Steam. I originally played this game when it first came out in North America back in 2013 on the PS3. Steam is my third copy of the game and between all three I have more…”
“Incredible game! so glad i can play through it again! first played it on the ps3 when it came out lol”
“I loved playing this game again!”

“hard, i want to kms. but good game, good graphics, nostalgic since i used to watch stampy play nearly 12 years ago so its good asl”
“This was my favorite game as a kid but yeah the fighting is so clunky it's not worth it anymore. The wheel system means I can't always block on time and even when I do block i can still get hit for absurd damage. The…”
“great game for jrpg fans i just wish the pace was a bit faster edit: after 16 hours i can not keep playing this game the fighting system is awfull, and you gotta grind/fight alot otherwise the enemies are just sponges…”

“After like 30 hours all together and 3 full tries to give this game a fair shake I can say its just not for me. Story is nice and cute and I wanna see where it goes but the combat is one of those Active move around…”
“First off, somehow the games soundsettings aren't perfect. The mainmenu doesn't get lowered volume, no matter which setting you use. Or the voicelines at the start of each battle, will always be too quiet, because it…”
