Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch has some eye-catching cutscenes and atmospheres that really help set the mood for a ghibli style of adventure, but ultimately becomes a rather average one in the end. The combat also provides for some neat mechanics that I wish the pokemon company would look into, but still feels rather limiting despite it's promises. Aside from some backtracking and padding issues, Ni No Kuni still proved plenty of fun moments and captivated my imagination, if only for a little more than usual.
