About the story
The game begins with Roland witnessing a missile exploding over a city. In the aftermath, he vanishes and reappears in front of Evan in Ding Dong Dell, with his youth suddenly regained, just as Mausinger, the advisor to Evan's late father, stages a coup. As they escape, they learn that Mausinger poisoned the previous king and intends to have Evan killed to assume control of the kingdom. Assisted by Evan's governess Aranella, who sacrifices herself for their safety, Evan and Roland escape safely from Ding Dong Dell, with Evan promising to her that he will establish a new kingdom in which everyone can be happy and free. Since then, he is occasionally approached in his dreams by a mysterious boy around his age, who becomes his confidant.

ElderPlayers
By Omar AlflasiNi no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom has a fun fast-paced combat system with several mechanics that enhance this experience, and this experience is only hindered by the normal story and technical issues
Marooners' Rock
By Joseph SiemsenNi No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is a truly magical experience oozing in charm and fantasy. The game is a worthy sequel that surpasses the original.
PCMag
By Sabrina QuinciNi No Kuni II is a charming, family-friendly JRPG set in an endearing open world, but it doesn't quite live up to the spirit of its predecessor.
DigitalCentralMedia
By Jordan MichealNi No Kuni II abandons all of the quirkiness and uniqueness the first game had and in the process loses its identity. Ni No Kuni II manages to be worse than its predecessor in every way possible
SmashPad
By Danreb VictorioWhile this sequel has its clear improvements over the original, I was still more thoroughly impressed with Wrath of the White Witch. Even though the predecessor was more childish, I personally enjoyed the first game's journey and its characters a whole lot more.
