After completing *"Dark Souls Enhanced Edition*," I left my Nintendo Switch on the shelf for a while.

But God, how much I love playing on the little Nintendo console.

I can play on my bed during my lunch break, and don't have to use the same device I use for work (my PC).

I originally wanted to play *"Breath of the Wild*."

I actually have, however, an unplayed game whichthat has been waiting for my attention for a while.

I'm talking about Level 5's *"Ni no kKuni: Wrath of the White Witch*" (NNK, for short, NNK).

I bought the game almost five years ago, started it thrice, and left it without even reaching the fantasy world ithe game takes place in.

SI had a short attention span at the time.

Here are themy first notes I took after onean hour and a half of playing.

The only game of the genre I've ever finished is *"Persona 4: Golden*" on the PSVita.

The first 20 minutes are made up of basic interactions with NPCs and objects, while a plethora of cutscenes play for us.

- The death of Oliver's mother and the start of his journey hit hard, even though the tone is childish, akin to a fairy tale (as we intend them nowadays; in the XIX, those stories were quite cruder than *"Ni no kKuni*").

- From the beginning, I feel that theOliver's character of Oliver, his growth, and thehis acceptance of his mother's death will play an important role.

- In the fantasy world diorama ¶
- After the long exposition, we find ourselfves in the world of Ni no kKuni and in the middle of our first battle.

FindingI wish more games found interesting ways to represent travel is something I wish more games did; NNK chooses to make travelling pretty and evocative, while very simple from a mechanical perspective.

Moving to avoid enemies results most of the timeusually results in the enemy bumping into us anyway, but from behind.

- At the gates of Din Don Dell ¶
- We have to get into the city of Din Don Dell, so we get to the gate, but the guard responsible for letting us in had his heart stolen by the Big Evil Guy (Shazar's the name).

But to do so, we need to make amust stop at the Deep Dark Woods first.

- CA classic obstacle tohat forces us on a different path.

- NNK is a special example, though, for howbecause it strongly it evokes the feeling of a classic children's fairytale.

- I don't know if contemporary JRPGs rely so much on this kind of plot devices anymore.

- The Deep Dark Wood s¶
- It's a dungeon.

- It's a long linear corridor whichthat splits into two equally linear corridors.

OnAt the first corridor, we find thean NPC whichthat grants us our first familiar and a couple of new spells.

Just in case, "Couple" means "only 2," so if it's more than 2, use "few" instead.

On the second, thean actual scary dungeon is littered with monsters and the boss at the end.

A little too close to get a good feeling of the environment, I feel.

- The music is unexpectedly epic for such a small, and calm dungeon themed after a forest.

- Enemies respawn in mere seconds after you tookake them down.

*"Wrath of the White Witch*" was developed as an enhanced edition for the PS3.

But God, how much I love playing on the little Nintendo console.

This is a bit more natural.

I can play on my bed during my lunchbreak, and I don't have to use the same device I use for work (my PC).

A bit more natural.

I bought the game almost five years ago, started it thrice, but left it without even reaching the fantasy world the game takes place in.

More properly "in which the game takes place", but what you have written is typical of native speakers.

SI had a short attention span at the time.

Here are the first notes I took after onean hour and a half of playing.

A bit more natural.

I feel the necessityed to point out that I'm not a keen JRPG player.

However, I'm interested in the genre as a whole and have studied it a little.

I read that Level 5 had most of the story and the worldbuilding finished before Studio Ghibli joisigned themon to animate the cutscenes.

I think this is a bit more natural, but what you had is fine.

The first 20 minutes are made up of basic interactions with NPCs and objects, while a plethora of cutscenes play for us.

- The diorama where the player travels from a location to another is wonderful.

I'm not sure what you mean by "diorama", but I don't think it's the right word. I can imagine "UI" (for user interface) or "animation" fitting well here maybe?

Finding an interesting way to represent travel is something I wish more games did; NNK chooses to make travelling pretty and evocative, while very simple from a mechanical perspective.

- TalSpeaking aboutof mechanics.,

Mmost of the time, moving to avoid enemies results most of the time in the enemy bumping into us anyway, but from behind.

If we want to enter, we need to get the heart of the guguard's heardt back.

More natural

But to do so, we need to make a stop at the Deep Dark Wood first.

- I have to admit I hadn't seen onean example of this plot device in a while.

- NNK is a special example, though, for how strongly it evokes the feeling of a classic children's fairytale.

- I don't know if contemporary JRPGs rely so much on this kind of plot devices anymore.

or "these kinds of plot devices"

- It's a long linerstraight corridor which splits into two equally linearother straight corridors.

ODown the first, we find the NPC whicho grants us our first familiar and a couple of new spells.

ODown the second, is the actually scary dungeon littered with monsters and the boss at the end.

"Down the second" kind of implies "at the end".

- The third person camera takes its time to move while exploring, and is very close to Oliver.

A little too close to get a good feeling ofor the environment, I feel.

I was expecting something one or two tonnotches down.

Or "levels down"

Joe Hisaishi is roaring here.

I'm not sure what you mean by "roaring". Is Joe Hisaishi the composer? You might say he's "going hard here".

- Enemies respawn (in) mere seconds after you tookake them down.

- NI need to use consumables a lot if I want to get out of the dungeon.

For a bullet point omitting "I" is fine I suppose, but you've been writing all of your other bullet points as complete sentences.
