Ni No Kuni Review

A journey I wont forget.

With so many RPG's out there its hard to find the right one.
Since most of them are focused on their battle system that they forget the main reason why people to play them.

What drove me was the world I had to explore and the people that inhabit them.
Sadly most of the modern RPG's are grinding games which I hate because spending hours fighting to get past some bosses didn't feel epic or fun at all.

Ni No Kuni did all the right things, that I wasn't done with it even after I was done with the story.
Every part of the world was a delight to explore and a joy to the eyes that it is hard to explain that a few images will only do it justice for a little bit.


With this world also comes a nice and memorable soundtrack that humes with me when I traverse the world.
It a orchestra type of music so it isn't everyones kind of juice but works well with this game.

The game may scare people away for its kiddy look, even when the games story is really black in some parts.
Especially in the beginning.
This is because of it's art style and the more friendly looking monster that inhabit the world.
It's a noticeable art style to people that may know from Studio Glibly.
This also shows they were involved in this game and it's look.

The game borrows for it's combat system 2 other combat systems.
One is from Tales games and a few more games that use this (not sure who started it).
Which is the option to move in a combat scene while acting.
There other one is Pokemon which involves in fighting with monster that you own.
Both of them work really well together and make for a fun experience.


My gameplay involved a stretched out experience.
Between story parts I always completed all side quests first so that I could enjoy the world more.
This is how normally always play but in Ni No Kuni I would advise anyone to play this way.
Because then you can see the world better and enjoy it inhabitant better.

The side quests are more divers in Ni No Kuni that is isn't just about hunting or gathering quests, but also involves healing peoples hearts.
This is a mayor part of the game but also appears allot in side quest making them feel less side questy, more involving in the world and fun.

As I mentioned before the games story is in some parts black but also really bright for the most part.
And in this game you're not fighting evil with some super strong character, but with a boy that is doing it for different reasons than saving the world.
The allies you get in your team are also enjoyable and feel more deep than some dum support character.

This is a must play in my books and I will mis for sure it after I am done doing the last 2 side quests in this game.

Playstation TV Review

Also known as PSVita TV Review The Playstation TV is the way to play your favorite PSVita and Playstation classic's on the tv. Or use it as an add-on device for the PS4 to continue playing in different room if you're banished from the other one. While this sound great, sadly the PSTV is not perfect. There are enough games that have yet to get PSTV support. And if you're new to the PSVita environment don't expect to play Gravity Rush or Tearaway on the PSTV. The PSTV only support games for the PSVita that don't use or barely use the touch options of the PSVita. There are allot of things that the PSTV could support but isn't getting for now. One of those options is to play WipEout 2048 on the PSTV. While I understand that WipEout 2048 has motion controls. They don't need be there to play WipEout 2048 on the PSTV. Games like Olli Olli don't even have proper menu controls and require the use of the R3 of the Dualshock 3 and 4 or the use of t...

Sony Pulse Elite Wireless Headset Review

I have been promising that I would review the Pulse Elite after a few blogs that I wanted to write first and now with the the release of a patch on the PS4 for all Sony Pulse headsets I had, no I must write a review on this headset. Now the first question I ask my self is, why buy the Pulse Elite instead of a another headset and the reason is preferences. I want a headset that delivers me the option to be portable so I can use it on the go for my Vita or mobile phone but I also wanted the option to use it for voice chat on my PS3. The Pulse Elite delivers these options because it has two way to connect. One is via the USB dongle, which is used for the PS3 and other devices that have a USB port. The other way is via the 3.5mm cable which works pretty much with every mobile device out there on the market. Now why not get a headset that connects via Bluetooth? The reason is pretty simple but is supported by other functions this headset gives. The main reason is that there is ...

Road Map Okay I know there is not much to do wrong in this game or to miss but a few things I am going to share might help you. - First don't use any items until stage 8, stage 8.8 is going to be a pain in the ass. - Play the tutorial it might help you understand the game more. - Fusion your monsters with the right hero and the lowest level of that hero. - Get the paid pack (9 € ) or buy the bottomless pack through the game (5 € ), waiting to play a match will be a pain in the ass and time wasting since this game will require lots of time.
