Ni no Kuni Wrath of the White Witch™ Remastered

I just finished and thoroughly enjoyed it. The story, crafted by Level-5, was absolutely amazing, though I felt the ending was a bit dragged out. The music was fantastic at first—it really added to the experience—but after hours of grinding, I’m starting to get tired of it lol.

Speaking of grinding, the achievement grind is insane, especially capturing all 250 species. While I love the game overall, the achievement grind is taking away some of the joy, especially since I’m trying to 100% every game I play these days. Despite that, it’s still an incredible experience! Worth the price

PS: I completed the entire game on Steam deck and it ran flawlessly.

Grew up playing it over and over, glad to be able to enjoy it even now through steam

bro i keep getting jumpscared whenever i exit from the game back to the title screen, such a loud bang hahahhaha 10/10

Love the game but.....
screw the catch rate
screw the drop rate
screw the GLIM REAPER
overall 10/10 game

I love this game! it's awsome! I love the animation and the story! I do enjoy the battle system aswell and taming familiars.

too old game with no ability of save the game any time which creates a lot of issues and frustrations. I uninstalled and will not play it again. but the Revenant kingdom game was pretty good and fun.

ni no kuni means a lot to me. i first played the game a couple years ago when i was in a pretty dark place, things seemed pretty hopeless. just when i was about ready to give up i bought this game and it changed my life. it's message, it's writing, it's world and it's themes all really stuck and resonated with me. enough to call it my favorite game :)

after beating the main campaign now (i'm not doing the white witch stuff, feels more like post game content and it didn't really wow me when i first played the game) as an adult my opinion is certainly more nuanced. while the game certainly isn't perfect and it 100% pissed me off at certain points, i can't deny that it is insanely charming. the world and the characters are genuine masterpieces, very fun personalities in a very fun world. The sort of characters and world that stick with you after you play (drippy is definitely a highlight, his mannerisms are glued into my brain and probably will be forever).

i do think that the game can be slow, has combat not everyone will like and has a couple low points, specifically the hamelin arc and the white witch content, but i can't help but love the game. if you're looking for a wholesome feel-good JRPG and can look past it's flaws, this game will deliver an unforgettable experience, definitely one of my favorite games.

also, the ghibli animated cutscenes are delightful :)

Got so bored in the beginning, had a cutscene bug not even an hour in, thought the movement in the world map was too slow, and the droopy character that follows you was way too annoying. Got bored, didn't keep me engaged. Thought it was really strange to have to agree to a EULA for an offline game, doesn't seem worth it.

Charming JRPG with iconic visuals, funny voice overs and charming characters

Plus, you get to control lil friends!

This game is what a warm hug feels like

The Game is well worth it, especially if you can grab it on sale
only down side is the combat can sometimes be really frustrating

goated game I would recommend this game to everyone beat it twice on the playstation platinum and then decided to try it again on steam.

Would use a controller

This is one of the best games I have ever played. The beauty of the story and writing can not be praised more. The music is absolutely amazing. Game play is very fun and engaging. 10/10

I love Ni No Kuni so much, I've replayed the game twice, this one being my third run. I love the feeling of playing this game again. If it's a first time for you I do recommend it. It's one of my favorites!

A aventura desse grupinho inseparavel pode animar a qualquer molecada, 10 flexoes.

Я наиграл 30 часов и прошёл 60% основной сюжетной линии. Игра показалась скучной и душной. Мне игру продало сотрудничество с студией "Гибли" — их стиль действительно узнаваем. Однако, после первых часов, анимационные 2D вставки почти исчезают, остаются только редкие моменты. Большинство катсцен выполнено в топорном 3D, которое хочется пропустить.

Сюжет банален: вы избранный герой. Диалоги озвучены лишь в катсценах. Они кажутся написанными для детей с особенностями. Из раза в раз повторяются одни и те же шутки и мысли, как будто читаешь один и тот же диалог по кругу уже в десятый раз. Концовка наполнена неожиданными поворотами, но они не компенсируют скучную боёвку.

Я люблю партийные RPG, где нужно собрать и развивать команду, но здесь всё портит боевая система. Если решишь подумать — тебя сразу наказывают. Забыл двигаться — получаешь урон. Это даже на лёгком уровне сложности. Игра, видимо, предполагает, что вы проведёте ещё 10-15 часов в гринде, но сражения однотипные, и раздражают мини-катсцены, которые нельзя пропустить.

Я был разочарован. До последнего надеялся на лучшее, но напрасно. Лучше посмотрите игрофильм или пересказ сюжета на YouTube, это сэкономит вам 30-50 часов времени.

Tried very hard to enjoy this game but I couldn't.

Story is slow, cut scenes put me to sleep. Battles are lame. Visually looks really good, which kept me playing and waiting for it to get better.

so awesome and fun w/ open world aspects and mix between turn based and real time gameplay. super mega grindy though if youre a completionist

gud gaem i play so much

w

My 32 mins of gameplay says alot

nostalgia

7/10
Companion AI is meh
Grindy RNG item drops is annoying

I like the vibe of this game, but I wish I liked it enough to actually play it to completion. Unfortunately, it just feels so slow. The character moves really slowly both in towns/dungeons and the overworld map. Combat either feels extremely easy, or overwhelming depending on the enemy. It never seems to feel just right. Since both movement and combat don't feel good to me, I feel as though the game is wasting my time while I'm playing it. oh well.

beautiful fuckin game, have yet to end the witch cuz i keep tryna speedrun it (im gonna keep restarting till i knock her off her ivory pedestal

viry good

This isn't a game; it's a work of art.

Absolute slog, most people would lose interest in the first 20 hours. The combat is boring an repetitive with no actual redeeming qualities, combat feels like a button masher with an almost ridiculous reaction time component to try and block damage. This game is a turd with a Studio Ghibli artistic sheen on top of it. Achievement hunters stay away.

Absolutely the best game I've ever laid my hands on, I had the PS3 version back in the day and remember everything from then except for a few things. Till this day, my favorite familiar is Little Big Horn!

Ni No Kuni has been my favorite standalone game since my childhood, and playing this remaster has filled me with the same wonder and joy I felt on my first playthrough so many years ago. I cannot recommend this game enough. To give it a ranking would be to say that it is comparable to any other experience I have had in my time with video games, and Ni No Kuni is simply beyond that standard. If you haven't already, give it a try. I truly believe it has something for everyone to enjoy, from beautiful scenes to a heartwarming story wrapped up with mechanics that feel familiar even as you're learning them for the first time.

Wonderfull fable, help believe in kindness and compassion.

I wish I would've refunded this game. Combat is clunky as hell and the anime cutscenes seem to run at 1/4 the FPS of the rest of the game. Attack/defend needed to be mapped to separate buttons, not attached to a menu that you have to scroll through.

A beautiful adventure, nice design, and an interesting and different combat system. But I haven't seen the last of it yet...

If you are over the age of 6 this game will suck balls

This was a really fun game, really heart breaking Good story, really cool characters, lovely Visuals boss fights that are fun yet also challenging, Gameplay that is like Pokemon and a Godlike Soundtrack highly recommend this game.

One of my favourite games ever, if you aren't against spoilers and want to see what the game is like, watch Stampy's playthrough.

classic

Game was great until the last dangeon. The final segment is imbalanced, artificially drawn out piece of shit.
7/10 for game, 0/10 final segment

Oozing with charm

An adorable little game with charming characters in a large world full of pleasant encounters and a good story.

The game is cute and story is okay.
My only complaint is it holds you hand through everything with your walking tutorial sidekick "fairy" if you are looking to dip you toe in RPGs then this is the game for you it's basically RPG 101 with ghibli theme.
Also it is NOT open world; you walk on the map and the actually adventure areas are small and linear.

my all time favorite game, can't recommend it enough

:)

I think this is one of the most boring JRPG's I have ever played. What an awful experience.
To be fair, I bought this game at a DEEP discount - and you should too - because it's just not what people are raving about.
The story is very childish - but cute.
The combat is very simple/childish - but somewhat engaging.
The locations are very childish - but they are pretty.
Are you seeing a theme yet?
I'm like, 4 actual hours of play into this game, AND ITS STILL FORCEFULLY HOLDING MY HAND.
This game is the definition of "Cut the umbilical cord, already!" and it refuses to do it.
I have found myself falling asleep multiple times and fought myself to stay awake.
Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this.

This is a gem. If you love creature collectiing fighting game. This is it. To bad Ni No Kuni 2 didn't follow the same recipe.

I first heard of this game when I saw Stampy Cat do a Let's play of it several years ago. I really enjoy everything about it. The story,gameplay, familar catching mechanics etc. The Studio Ghibli music and 2D artstyle is immaculate, gorgeous, memorable.

HEAVY storytelling. Be prepared to sit and listen/read a LOT.

It's a good game, you just need to set the time aside to enjoy it without rushing.

Great game.
Like a mix of Final Fantasy and Pokemon.
