It manages to balance challenge and the sense of child-like wonder faultlessly. The whimsical setting looks fantastic and the world feels rich thanks to the use of sound design and a tremendous score. The great story and interesting characters are the cherry on the cake. One of the best games I've played in a while.… Expand

They've beenI would advise to those who are thinking about getting this game to not listen to the negative nancies giving it poor ratings. They've been conditioned to put every game in this generation into a box and if it doesn't fit then it's not up to par with their standards.
   
   I can't remember the last time that I played a game that was actually art and wasn't just a button masher in the past year besides GTA 5 and The Last of Us.
   
   Besides Ni No Kuni this is also one of the few RPGs that's actually doing it right while Final Fantasy has lost it's shine since FFX.
   
   Personally, I have no problem with the minimalism of the game. In fact, I think minimalism is part of the direction its creators took and it's told like a child's fantasy story book with the pages coming to life. I guess being an older gamer has made it apparent to me that reviewers have become obsessed with having games crammed with massive amounts of content. The game is only $15.00, after all, and it also had a DLC option on the main menu which tells us that there will be more.
   
   Lastly, it is my opinion that this is the best RPG in the past few years to come out.… Expand

   It´s very beautiful and original art stylish. Although the game didn´t convinced me in some important aspects. The idea is good and the potencial to be better is there. Some details should be explored like the beautiful music, the entire world and with cinematics. Perhaps i have to admit that not being a RPG/platform fan i think that could influence me to underrate this game.… Expand

   The turn-based attacking system has been done with its own unique twist, and there's a certain amount of brain power and skill needed to defeat later enemies. The levelling system is well thought out and again, later stages really makes it exceptional to play as a strategy/RPG.
   
   There's no doubt the style in the music, voice and of course the graphics all play part of why this is a much loved title. It's been expertly crafted into a truly breathtaking little world.
   
   Probably not for your CoD like-mentality players, but for those that like to sit down late evening and experience some enchantment, this game is for you. I keep seeing it in the PSN sales, and I recommend to anyone to buy it when it's on offer, as when you come round to playing it, you'll be hooked as I was… Expand
