The first Ni No Kuni game arguably pulled off the biggest art coup in the history of games: getting the renowned Japanese animation giant Studio Ghibli to magic up a living, breathing game world that looked (and sounded) just like their beloved films. Its sequel, Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom, never benefited from the same Ghibli wizardry as its predecessor, but put the two side by side and you’d be hard pushed to tell the difference. Sure, Revenant Kingdom doesn’t have the same Ghibli film-grade cutscenes to sit back and admire, but this handsome JRPG is still a spell-binding entry in Level-5’s ever-growing series, and, whisper it, but I think it’s actually miles better than the first one.
