What the critics say:

“From the harshest critiques to the more forgiving ones, I’ve gathered the range of review scores pulled from Metac

ritic. Everyone definitely agrees this Studio Ghibli/Level-5 collaboration is pretty. It’s imaginative and adorable. But there are certainly some flaws.”

Rated 9.4 by IGN. Studio Ghilbi and Level-5 team up to produce this gorgeous looking JRPG (Japanese Role Playing Game). It has received acclaim in Japan. If you are into games combining Dragon Quest‘s extensive world and exploration with the beautiful animation and sense of wonder in Hayao Miyazaki’s animated feature films, you will be in heaven. Studio Ghilbi who are well known as one of the best producers of anime have used their Art Style for the animation in Ni no Kuni as well as producing the soundtrack. Ni-No-Kuni is bringing the cinematic Miyazaki style to gaming.
