Why Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds Is Still Worth Playing

screenrant.com:

Netmarble's Studio Ghibli MMORPG, Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds, is still worth playing, despite the pay-to-win uphill battle of progression and the hordes of foaming-at-the-mouth crypto-farming bots. The game, playable on mobile and with a beta PC version, released globally two months ago — at the end of May — and Cross Worlds earned $100 million faster than Pokémon GO or Genshin Impact did, so the game was hyped and greatly anticipated. However, Netmarble's decision to eventually merge crypto and NFTs into the game ecosystem may have cost them a chunk of player support — and opened the botting floodgates. Even so, Cross Worlds remains a lovely little gem.

Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds is a visually beautiful, semi-idle MMORPG, and has the style of Studio Ghibli in both its animation and intriguing story. The game focuses primarily on the mystery that the protagonist finds themselves tangled in, but as story progression slows the player's focus shifts to improving Combat Power.  The game introduces players to each content and upgrade available through a series of neatly-placed tutorials, so even with a couple of hours worth of daily activities (content that players should turn off auto-battle in Cross Worlds for) and a spread of upgrades to work on, players are not overwhelmed. Overall Cross Worlds is full of simple amusements, with many lateral progression ladders and a story that is still unfolding.
