Console gaming has got a fair few upsides, but let's face it - PC is PC. Naturally, the main draw for getting a console are its exclusives, and the first version of Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch launched only on PlayStation 3. This highly-acclaimed RPG left many of us slightly jealous, and though Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom on PC is a lovely game, it's also quite different from its predecessor. That's why Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered PC is such a big deal! You heard that right: Ni No Kuni PC is on the table!
Chances are that the art style on show in Wrath of the White Witch looks strangely familiar to you. If that's the case, you should know that it's Studio Ghibli that's at least partially responsible for it. The famed anime creators have lent their hands and brushes to the developers, Level-5, and came up with an immediately warm and charming visual style. A hallmark of Ni No Kuni, in fact. How surprised would you be if we told you that this game first launched in Japan in 2011? With Ni No Kuni Wrath of the White Witch Remastered PC, that's pretty hard to tell! It has held up wonderfully well. Best of all, it will now be available on PC at high resolution and at a high frame rate.
With all of that in mind, not only are we going to have the chance to play Wrath of the White Witch on PC for the first time ever, but it's going to be at its absolute best as well. A high-profile production, polished gameplay, and a fascinating storyline. Clearly, Ni No Kuni PC is a winner!
Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered has other things going in its favor, too. The fact that it launched 8 years ago, for example, means many will have already forgotten about it. Others, on the other hand, never even had the chance to play it. We've no doubt its popularity will boom now that everyone has access to it, no matter the platform.
According to early adopters on Steam, this is practically a must-have. If you were worried about optimization, it shouldn't be a concern: "Game runs smooth as butter on my aging system, and the visuals look better than ever," said one reviewer, adding that "if you love Miyazaki/Ghibli films, you've got to check out this game." We're definitely signing-off on this one, as it's hard to disagree with it.
While there are longer, more nuanced reviews, one in particular rings true to us: "Everyone should play this game, it's beautiful." And so it is, though it's surprisingly difficult to describe what makes Wrath of the White Witch such a beautiful game. It isn't just beautiful in the sense of looking good, mind. There's something about it that resonates with players and sticks with them for a long while. Few games manage to pull this off, yet Ni No Kuni has no issue with it whatsoever. It's a combination of factors that has hardly been replicated since, and you really should experience this marvel of a game for yourself.
In fact, the ultimate version of Wrath of the White Witch is one of the best games ever made. Whether that makes it worthy of your attention or not, we don't know, but we do feel you should give it a shot, at least. You can do so by using 2Game's launch discount right now, in fact. We promise that it will be a story to remember.
