Según la prensa especializada, parece que Level-5 se ha redimido con la secuela de Ni No Kuni, aunque sigue sin arriesgar, produciendo un juego de corte demasiado clásico:
- Título: Ni No Kuni II: El renacer de un reino
- Plataformas: Windows, PlayStation 4
- Desarrolladora: Level-5
- Distribuidora: Bandai Namco

Ni no Kuni 2 es un gran trabajo de Level 5, que no contenta con hacer una digna secuela del primer videojuego, ha aprovechado la ocasión para añadir una buena cantidad de diferentes actividades extra que enriquecen la experiencia. Hay claroscuros en el desarrollo de personajes y su historia principal y se podría haber profundizado algo más en su sistema de batalla, pero incluso estos puntos también tienen sus fortalezas, a las que acompaña un diseño artístico de los más hermosos que hemos visto hasta el momento. Un JRPG diferente y con personalidad.

En definitiva, Ni no Kuni II: El Renacer de un Reino es lo que se puede pedir a una secuela: mantener los puntos fuertes y pulir aquello mejorable. En el fondo tiene una base muy clásica y eso no gustará a los aficionados que busquen algo más arriesgado.
Eurogamer - Recomendado
Level-5 ha creado un juego increíblemente especial, lleno de personajes carismáticos a los que es difícil no cogerles cariño -Chumbo, la deidad protectora que nos acompaña en nuestra aventura y a la que hemos podido ver como punta de lanza de la campaña promocional, es por méritos propios uno de los mejores personajes de este año- y en el que todo está tan medido que hasta aspectos más secundarios como la traducción brillan con luz propia. Ni no Kuni II consigue que las piezas encajen, que ese mundo secundario al que hace referencia el título esté más vivo que nunca y que se sienta, pese a no poder ser más diferente al nuestro, como un nuevo hogar.

Ni No Kuni 2 ofrece un gran cúmulo de sensaciones. Tras unas primeras horas donde la magia no termina de arrancar, se va construyendo —como si el propio Renacer del Reino que proclama el título se tratase— una gran propuesta AJRPG. La combinación de géneros funciona, la progresión de los personajes y su personalización (unida al sistema de gestión y mejora de la ciudad) conforman un todo sólido, y el mundo de Ni No Kuni nos invita a explorar, hablar con un gran número de personajes, relacionarnos con nuestros conciudadanos del Reino y explorar un vasto paisaje con la diversión por bandera.

Although the precedent set by the first game was remarkable, Ni no Kuni II manages to position itself as a worthy continuation of what is already one of the most interesting sagas of the current role playing scene. Level-5 has created a game that stands out from the competition with its own personality. For the lovers of Studio Ghibli, here you will find a jewel to continue dreaming about.
Hobby Consolas - 94 / 100
Ni No Kuni II is a masterpiece combination of Ghibli style graphics, Joe Hisaishi music works and classic J-RPG gameplay (Level-5 signature). We love it´s colorful characters, moving storyline and varied game styles.

Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is definitely the most beautiful RPG of this year so far. The little details, the great side stories, every little npc and the wonderful animations also makes the second entry of the series an amazing experience. Even if the recruiting of people sometimes feel like a painful chore and the tactical parts of the gameplay doesn't always shine, the rest of the games features make you forget about it.
CGMagazine - 9.5 / 10.0
One of the best JRPGs released in ages, Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is as charming as it is intricate, full of expressive characters and addictive gameplay systems that mesh together in perfect harmony.
COGconnected - 88 / 100
Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is a sensational, well-crafted, and loveable game.
Destructoid - 7.5 / 10.0
Level-5 is more than capable of dumping out healthy portions of its secret sauce on top of its games, but the combat of Ni no Kuni II and its attempt to do so many different things can hold it back. From the first hour I was mesmerized and captivated, willing to see its tale through until the end. While it does fall into some genre trappings and doesn't feel quite as epic in scale compared to the first, Level-5 has the uncanny ability to keep the memory and magic of the JRPG alive.
Digitally Downloaded - 4.5 / 5 stars
We're two (main) games in now, and on the strength and consistency of these two I think it's safe to say that Ni No Kuni has every chance to become a major JRPG franchise that will last into the very long term.
DualShockers - 10 / 10.0
By setting the bar higher with its meaningful side-quests and multiple systems executed perfectly, Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is paving the way for future JRPG titles to build upon. I loved every moment of Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom and could easily recommend it as an entry point to the genre for newcomers as well as longtime fans of the genre. Developer Level-5 has truly outdone themselves with this one and I would just like to say to them, thank you for the adventure.

EGM - 8.5 / 10.0
Ni No Kuni II is full of some tremendously creative decisions that make this unlike many other Japanese RPGs, as well as a clear step above an already good game in the original Ni No Kuni. However, some additions like the RTS elements left me scratching my head. Despite this, Ni No Kuni II tells a beautiful story that's set in an even more beautiful world, and should be enjoyed by most JRPG fans.
Game Informer - 8 / 10.0
Plenty of short- and long-term goals keep you invested, and you are thrown into the action relatively quickly. Watching your kingdom grow and flourish is the biggest draw, though the battles also provide simple fun
GameSkinny - 8 / 10 stars
Overall, Ni No Kuni 2 accomplishes what it sets out to do: It's a fun but deep fantasy world with heroes who remind us there is good in the world and villains who remind us that sometimes the worst-seeming people are just… misguided.

GamingTrend - 95 / 100
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is this perfect execution of an RPG that I haven't experienced in a long time. It's grand in its vision and, while simple in the execution, the execution it delivers is nearly flawless nonetheless. There are moments where I wish the game paced itself better, toned down the threatening music, or attempted to tug at my heart a bit more, but the game was fun and charming and worthy of praise. Buy this game.

IGN - 7.8 / 10.0
Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom distinguishes itself from its predecessor by layering fast-paced, real-time combat and an engaging kingdom building system atop more traditional RPG systems and quests. It's a shame it delivers so few truly memorable characters and restricts so much of its storytelling to text on screen, but by the end of Ni No Kuni 2 the broader themes certainly resonate and the 40+ hour journey has been well worth it.

None of the shortcomings, however, are enough to sour what is ultimately an astonishing experience. Once again, Level-5 has risen to the top of a previously floundering but increasingly revitalized genre.
USgamer - 3.5 / 5 stars
Ni No Kuni 2 is a sweet-tempered and attractive RPG with a strong castle-building mechanic, but it's dragged down by a jarringly ugly overworld, mandatory fetch quests, and a lot of padding. It's a pleasant throwback for fans of the genre, but it ultimately fails to meet the high bar set by other big-budget JRPGs.
