Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch was one of the games I was playing for streaming. Unfortunately I wasn't having enough fun to justify finishing the series and here's why.
For me problems started rearing their head after I completed Old Smokey with how weird the leveling system is because for some reason when you get a new familiar or metaphorize them they start at level one. Not level one but with still high stats, very low stats level one like you were just starting the game. Because of that you'd need to grind to actually get your familiars to levels where they're usable.
This columnated in where I decided to stop playing; the tank boss in Autumnia. Despite doing what I thought was a reasonable amount of fighting I still got my ass kicked on both normal and easy mode. And even on the way there I was getting my ass kicked by normal enemies. So I decided to grind, returned to the boss...and still got my ass kicked.
I think there's a lesson to be learned from this though. In the Xenoblade series enemies levels are shown and in Xenoblade 1 specifically enemies have a banner color to indicate how hard they'll be for you at your current level. This is a nice and transparent way to show if you're under or overleveled and if you need to grind at least you know what you should be aiming for. Ni no Kuni of course doesn't do this and you're just left to guess.
Because this is still a review I want to end things off with some positives, that being the writing and the art, Drippy is still really funny and the cutscenes were done by Studio Ghibli which of course means they're great. Honestly I think the Feywild is the best part of the game but that could be nostalgia speaking. Oh yeah I forgot to mention this is a game I'm actually nostalgic about and really sad I didn't enjoy it as much as I did when I was young! This is the game that introduced me to gaming outside of Nintendo as all I had when I was young was a Gamecube and Wii.
So, in conclusion...please just avoid needing grinding for the love of the gods.

As usual, definitely me being dumb, but it just feels...unpolished.

Early Access Review
I've been reading reviews for this game. I think it's stretched people's sanities a little too thin. 10/10

Disclaimer
This is a sort of uninformed review because I haven't actually finished the game. I just got to what is probably the half-way point (2000) and felt like writing about it.
Overall
City Game Studio, to me, is the much more in depth brother of Game Dev Tycoon. While GDT felt more like an idle game, CGS feels more like a management game, and I really like it.
Side Note
This is not a critique, but I've noticed the English is mildly broken. I don't think it's a problem because it's intelligible, you can tell what they are trying to say. I'm not gonna blame someone for English not being their first language.
