Ranking Every PS4 Exclusive From Worst To Best

8. Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom

ni no kuni 2
Level-5

Fronting one of the most immediately loveable art styles and overall presentations in any JRPG that isn't Dragon Age XI, Ni No Kuni II knocked it out the park with 2018's followup.

Initially centring on young king Evan after he's been booted out his own kingdom, you set about creating somewhere for all colours and creeds to live; designing your own environment along the way.

This throughline of positivity transfers into beautifully responsive combat, sticking with the real-time trappings of the original, but giving you access to "Hiddledies" - Pokémon-lite characters you can catch and perfect.

The last piece of the puzzle is a quirky-yet-dependable group dynamic - something the mighty Octopath Traveller completely fell down on. Here it anchors Evan's effects on the land and encourages you indulge in side content.

Put simply: Ni No Kuni 2 is just as necessary for JRPG fans as the PS4 is to its own hard drive.
