Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is a beautiful game with wonderful characters and a charming story. Fans have been waiting for the sequel to the sleeper hit Ni No Kuni since its release in 2010. Though Studio Ghibli didn't work on the sequel, its style and charm is permanently embedded in the franchise. Level-5, creators of the Yo-kai Watch and Professor Layton games, has taken up the mantle and do an amazing job recreating the wonder of the first game.

For the past two weeks, I've been living inside Ni No Kuni II's world. My girlfriend has listened to me rave about Roland and the gang and the journeys we've had. Though the complex combat system and world progression has frustrated me at times, overall I've had an amazing experience. I do wish there were fewer Higgledys, the sprites that appear all over the game's map. There's only so much wonder one man can take.
