Despite high hopes and low expectations, Infinity Nikki manages to far exceed and surpass my vision for a AAA venture into Miraland, giving just about anyone interested something to do.
Infinity Nikki is a fantastic game, and you can play it while avoiding most of the gacha elements. It's a great gacha game that doesn't require you to pay any money to it to be able to succeed. It's a game full of whimsy, wonder, and most importantly dressing up and being able to customize Nikki to your liking, depending on the outfits you collect.
A vast and beautiful world with lots of collectibles, cool quests and an amazing sountrack. The different textures in the dresses are from another world. Although it's fully f2p, this is the first gacha I put money in because it's crafted with lots of care, it has constant content and QoL updates and I wanted to support the developers. I want to play this for years to come.
For me, the key word of Infinite Nikki is "surprise". I didn't expect that dressing up and the open world would have much chemistry together, but the result is that even if it doesn't seem possible, if both sides are done well enough, then it can be done! Whether it is the unforgettable story performance in the game or enjoying the jump level while exploring the world, these contents are interesting enough to make me willing to dress up my "daughter" first, and then finish everything elegantly.
Nikki caught my attention with its strong sense of identity, immediately standing out as something different than anything else it overlaps with on paper. Sure, you can easily connect some dots back to Genshin Impact or Zelda to name a few, but those elements are used to build a journey that has markedly different interests and goals. Infinity Nikki doesn’t reinvent any wheels, push boundaries, or offer a revelatory or novel gameplay experience. But it does offer a fresh perspective, a strange and captivating world to explore, bucketloads of silliness, and hours of breezy fun. If you can put up with the free-to-play trappings and some hopefully temporary technical instability at launch time, and if you can have a good time without needing to kill stuff, you can have a blast without needing to know a single thing about fashion. I still don’t trust the cat, though.
There's no denying the milestone that Infinity Nikki marks for the Nikki series, taking it from a modest mobile dress-up app exclusive to China to an expansive global release of a stature rare for femicentric games. Yet... [Issue#406, p.116]
Overall gameplay loop is perfect ahd the story was engaging enough to keep playing. But the part where the game shines most are the outfits and there's plethora of them to collect from. Whether you guy them from exploring or buying them. You'll never run out of options by mixing and matching them to make your Nikki look super unique.
The game put a lot of pressure on my GPU and CPU. I prefer to play it on my own Android. Story and gameplay is good and interesting. If this game would be available for Nintendo Switch I would be very happy. I don't like play on 60 FPS with High quality and even i used low settings from the game and wasn't useful.
SummaryVenture into the vast Miraland to unravel the mysteries of "styling".
Alongside Nikki, awaken the magical powers hidden within various outfits and embark on a journey filled with fun.
