This week, I wanted to present to you my review of the awesome and gorgeous Ni No Kuni. This game released early in 2013 and was almost instantly branded as a classic. Since then, I’ve purchased the second game Ni No Kuni II, but haven’t had the time to start it yet!

Your quest in Ni No Kuni revolves around fixing people’s hearts, broken by the evil witch. There are also a ton of side-quests in which you must either kill enemies, alchemize items or recruit monsters in your party. Each monster in the game can be recruited to your team a-la-Pokémon. It took me around 45 hours to complete the game, and double that to Platinum it!

Ni No Kuni is a game that I remembers for its excellent soundtrack, gorgeous and huge world, and colorful characters. The only major issue I had with this game is how bad the allies’ AI were, and if you play this game, you’ll understand what I mean!

Even with the mentioned AI issue, I still definitively recommend this turn-based RPG to every RPG fan! As a side note, I suggested this game to at least four of my friends, and they all loved it.
