Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is a popular role-playing video game that was originally released for the PlayStation 3 in 2011. However, the game has recently been remastered for the PlayStation 4, bringing upgraded graphics and improved performance to the beloved title. The PS4 version of Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch offers players a chance to delve into a rich and enchanting world filled with magical creatures and dazzling landscapes. The game follows the story of a young boy named Oliver who embarks on a journey to a parallel world in order to save his mother.

Now as for the game, it’s great, (unless you listen to Drew talk about it on our very own Phoenix Down podcast) but any PS3 review is going to say exactly what anyone needs to know about this game. I am sort of dumbfounded at how vanilla this “remaster” is.
It was January of 2013 when Ni No Kuni hit American shores and six years later the game is back and almost at full price it s 70 in Canada before tax. The game retains the same dynamic fight system combining real-time action and turn-based tactical elements, as well as the dozens of locations and hundreds of creatures that comprise the vast universe of Ni no Kuni.
One of the main highlights of the game is its stunning visuals. The remastered version takes full advantage of the capabilities of the PlayStation 4, providing players with breathtakingly beautiful environments and detailed character models. From lush forests to vast deserts, each location in the game is a visual feast for the eyes.
