Gameinformer 7/10
Concept: Journey to Studio Ghibli inspired lands in the name of saving a young boy's mother.
Graphics: Vibrant and detailed graphics make a beautiful experience.
Sound: Music drives certain scenes, adding intensity to the journey. The voice acting is impressive.
Playability: Ni no Kuni isn't easy to grasp, but once you pass the learning curve, it gets better.
Entertainment: The world keeps you entranced. Unfortunately, the characters and old-school RPG mechanics don't have the same charm.
Replay Value: Moderate.
the last paragraph is : "Ni no Kuni's a mercurial experience. One minute I was exploring the world with adoration, and the next I was cursing a cheap boss a battle. The journey can be fun; I liked collecting and growing familiars and watching the breathtaking world before me, but Ni no Kuni doesn't come without frustration. Enter for the beat, but know it comes with a price."
it's a "respectable experience but it's far from a Ghibli or Level-5 masterpiece."
