>Although the precedent set by the first game was remarkable, Ni no Kuni II manages to position itself as a worthy continuation of what is already one of the most interesting sagas of the current role playing scene. Level-5 has created a game that stands out from the competition with its own personality. For the lovers of Studio Ghibli, here you will find a jewel to continue dreaming about.

**Cerealkillerz** - Gabriel Bogdan - *German* - [9 / 10.0](http://cerealkillerz.org/ni-no-kuni-2-schicksal-eines-koenigreichs-ps4-review-nur-noch-ein-untertan/)
>Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is definitely the most beautiful RPG of this year so far. The little details, the great side stories, every little npc and the wonderful animations also makes the second entry of the series an amazing experience. Even if the recruiting of people sometimes feel like a painful chore and the tactical parts of the gameplay doesn't always shine, the rest of the games features make you forget about it.

**Cramgaming** - Robert Cram - [8.5/10](http://cramgaming.com/ni-no-kuni-ii-revenant-kingdom-review-45364/)
> Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is an interesting prospect, but if we break down each section into a raw form then it’s comes across as quite a simple game at heart.

**DailyEcho** - Gareth Newnham - [9/10](http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/leisure/games/gamesreviews/16097765.Ni_no_Kuni_II__Revenant_Kingdom___PS4__PC/?ref=mac)
> A sweeping and poignant epic. Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is a masterpiece that JRPG fans will not want to miss.

**Destructoid** - Chris Carter - [7.5 / 10.0](https://www.destructoid.com/review-ni-no-kuni-ii-revenant-kingdom-494004.phtml)
>Level-5 is more than capable of dumping out healthy portions of its secret sauce on top of its games, but the combat of Ni no Kuni II and its attempt to do so many different things can hold it back. From the first hour I was mesmerized and captivated, willing to see its tale through until the end. While it does fall into some genre trappings and doesn't feel quite as epic in scale compared to the first, Level-5 has the uncanny ability to keep the memory and magic of the JRPG alive.

**Digitally Downloaded** - Matt Sainsbury - [4.5 / 5 stars](http://www.digitallydownloaded.net/2018/03/review-ni-no-kuni-ii-revenant-kingdom.html)
>We're two (main) games in now, and on the strength and consistency of these two I think it's safe to say that Ni No Kuni has every chance to become a major JRPG franchise that will last into the very long term.

**DualShockers** - Azario Lopez - [10 / 10.0](https://www.dualshockers.com/ni-no-kuni-ii-review-ps4-pc/)
>By setting the bar higher with its meaningful side-quests and multiple systems executed perfectly, Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is paving the way for future JRPG titles to build upon. I loved every moment of Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom and could easily recommend it as an entry point to the genre for newcomers as well as longtime fans of the genre. Developer Level-5 has truly outdone themselves with this one and I would just like to say to them, thank you for the adventure.

>Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom outclasses its predecessor in just about every way to earn its happily ever after.

**EGM** - Ray Carsillo - [8.5 / 10.0](http://www.egmnow.com/articles/reviews/ni-no-kuni-ii-revenant-kingdom-review/)
>Ni No Kuni II is full of some tremendously creative decisions that make this unlike many other Japanese RPGs, as well as a clear step above an already good game in the original Ni No Kuni. However, some additions like the RTS elements left me scratching my head. Despite this, Ni No Kuni II tells a beautiful story that's set in an even more beautiful world, and should be enjoyed by most JRPG fans.
