As a huge fan of the first Ni No Kuni game, the sequel was a bit worrying as I knew that Studio Ghibli wasn’t around anymore to provide support. The style of the original was very much built around the concepts forged by the legendary Japanese animation studio, even if the animated cutscenes were removed. Luckily, while Ghibli might have folded (and then possibly been resurrected once again), the people that originally gave the game its Ghibli charm have stayed on for Ni No Kuni 2 Revenant Kingdom....

Tokyo RPG Factory returns with their third outing. The RPG genre has moved towards a more action oriented approach in recent years, but Square Enix decided to hold onto the past with the formation of Tokyo RPG Factory.

Rather than stay in that lane, Tokyo RPG Factory has decided to branch out with something much more modern in the oftentimes very somber Oninaki....
