Top 10 Best RPGs of 2013

#4 Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch

Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch (that's a mouthful!) is Studio Ghibli's first ever foray into videogame making. The studio is sometimes called the "Disney of Japan" and is beloved for its animated films like My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away.

Teaming up with the makers of Jeanne d'Arc, an award-winning RPG for the PlayStation Portable, Ni No Kuni is the only role-playing game (or even game, really) to feature the designs, artwork, and animation of Studio Ghibli, with a storyline and characters written by the studio.

Players take on the role of a small boy who loses his mom, and ventures into a magical parallel universe in order to bring her back. Like any Studio Ghibli film, you can expect to cry—a lot.

What is it? It's an RPG by the makers of My Neighbor Totoro. What else is there to say? Oh yeah, you can summon and control cute-looking monsters with a magical book.
