Ni no Kuni Wrath of the White Witch™ Remastered

Beautiful animation and story. Enjoyable characters. This is a game I have wanted for years and now finally have a chance to play. What a wonderful experience

Love the game, Like the story, love its game music

I wish I could give this a middling score. It's a great game, with a very solid gameplay loop. Good for kids, but the puns can be a bit much. If you like dad jokes and bad puns, or just want a game for your kid to enjoy, this is it. It encourages actually reading books, thinking outside the box, and isn't easy to the point of insult. However, if I had one incredibly frustrating gripe, it's that the NPC allies are annoying and dumb as bricks. They fail at basic tasks (I ask them to defend, and they start casting a spell instead, getting slammed by the enemy's big attack, and dying), steal things that could save you (in-battle healing items are vacuumed up by them, whether they need them or not. This is especially egregious with the Supercharge drops that give you full health and a super attack. I love it when I'm fighting a fire enemy, swap to an ice one to deal big damage, just for an NPC to run over with a random character, snag up the super-move, then deal absolutely no damage because of elemental resistances), and are oftentimes dead not even two minutes into a fight. There is a pretty sharp difficulty spike around the middle of the game, but it can be powered through. Only issue is, after a point, everything drops down to incredibly easy levels, with the second phase of the final boss being especially noteworthy, as it has no AoE attacks - a staple in boss fights up to that point. Overall, a good game that I'd totally recommend, but very frustrating at times. If you bull through the frustration, you'll find a very wonderful story about growing up and becoming more mature, while also keeping that Studio Ghibli charm alive.

Gioco magnifico al quale sto rigiocando dopo averlo finito "ai tempi" su PS3. Il gameplay a me piace molto, ma capisco che possa non piacere (si ha ogni tanto la sensazione di dover navigare menù il più velocemente possibile). Storia, ambientazione (le cutscene!!!) e "mostriciattoli" semplicemente magnifici. Il porting è buono, anche se la navigazione di alcuni menù (adesso non saprei fare un buon elenco) fa trasparire come il tutto non sia pensato per giocare con il mouse. Consigliatissimo

Pour je ne sais quelle raison, le jeu est devenu totalement instable : en 5 minutes, j'ai eu un freeze total du pc et un retour sur le bureau...Poubelle !

All-round a pretty decent JRPG that has quite high highs and quite low lows. I usually like JRPGS with action-style combat but this one, while having a pretty solid system, just personally doesn't do it for me at times. Big fan of the creature designs and especially a fan of the split evolutions but a lot of them feel kinda samey and seem to vary wildly in power level - not too much but I did sometimes find myself not really switching between creatures in battle due to having one that was quite more versatile than the others. I like the boss fights and their designs, some of them have some very neat gimmicks and these are really where you get to show your skill with the battle system. Some were tricky towards the first half of the game but they became more satisfying upon picking up on the ins and outs of the combat a tad bit more. I do think it's a pain that a few boss weaknesses aren't clearly communicated until you're explicitly told what they are by the sidekick character but it isn't too much of a big deal. The only time it really came into play for the gameplay experience was a tanky enemy intended to be defeated with wind type damage, which I didn't have access to at that point. The game starts on a strong note, I feel, but it does get a bit slow after the first few hours and stays at that pace for a few more. The midgame felt quite frustrating every now and then, but I feel that it gets into a groove for the rest of the game. My least favourite gameplay element is probably how slow you move about. You go at a snail's pace even after getting an upgrade to your movement speed after completing a few sidequests. This is remedied later in the game in the overworld at least with two upgrades but towns and dungeons can still drag a bit. There's one town that you access around the midgame that is quite large that requires a few revisits during the main story and each visit was the definition of a drag. I do like the overworld design though, feels akin to a lot of classic JRPGs and I quite like it. Lots of optional content as well with a decent chunk of areas that you don't need to go to other than for sidequests but still have interesting things about them. Story and characters are fun but both drop off towards the last few hours of the game due to content that was not present in the original DS release being tacked on to this version, but it was still good and had a few satisfying payoffs for story elements built up throughout the game. It just felt like there wasn't anywhere left for the protagonist to go following the climax to his arc so the last bit of the narrative felt like it was going through the motions. Art and presentation is definitely this game's strongest suit. Love the graphics and the Ghibli artstyle, I feel like it enhances the game a lot. The sprinkling of 2D cutscenes throughout the game animated by the studio itself emanate charm and do an amazing job in bringing the world to life more so than the game already does.A lot of designs are very memorable and I think the artstyle fits perfectly alongside the tone of the game and its story. Definitely a game I'm mixed on but that's mostly from personal preference. Definitely one to check out for fans of JRPGS and/or creature collectors.

Pra quem curte J-RPG esse jogo é um prato cheio e indispensável , o estilo gráfico do jogo é muito bonito e a história também é muito boa de se acompanhar , para quem sempre quis jogar Ni no Kuni e não jogou por receio de não ser em português brasileiro , não se preocupe , pois já existe tradução completa do jogo não oficial para o nosso idioma , basta dar um google ou pesquisar no youtube que esse problema está resolvido , muito recomendado!

VERY fun game! A lot of people complain about the Combat system but I personally found it fun and less stressful than most real time battle games since I don't have to focus on actually attacking. Loved the story this will be living rent free in my mind for a WHILE

Don't waste your time
