| GAME ENGINE |
Ni no Kuni II Revenant Kingdom runs on the Havok Vision Engine. Havok Vision Engine- A 3D graphics engine that supports normal mapping for textures, the radiosity lighting method, dynamic lighting and shading, effects created by a particle system, streaming locations, image post-processing effects such as HDR and depth of field.
The resulting image is displayed on the screen using OpenGL or DirectX 11.
| ADVANCED GAME SETTINGS |
Ni no Kuni II Revenant Kingdom has a sufficient set of graphic settings. It’s unlikely to be called broad. We have both basic and advanced settings.
Below we have provided screenshots of the game at various graphics settings, where our readers can see the difference between the minimum and maximum graphics quality settings.
| DIFFERENT QUALITY MODES |
The difference between the various settings can be seen quite clearly.
| COMPARISON OF SMOOTHING MODES |
The smoothing mode works quite well, eliminating all surface irregularities.
| GENERAL VISUALS AND GAME PHYSICS |
Ni no Kuni II Revenant Kingdom has pretty nice graphics, made in Anime style. By the way, the level of modern graphics technology is already quite enough for Anime-style games to look the same as the cartoons themselves, even better. In general, the picture of the dvolon is soft and pleasant.
Next, we will move directly to gaming tests and determine what impact this game has on modern computer hardware.

Our video cards were tested at different screen sizes of 1920×1080, 2560×1600 and 3840×2160 with dscjrb[graphics quality settings, with the FPS limit disabled.
| GPU TEST |
In the video card test, the default resolution is 1920×1080; other resolutions are added and removed manually. You can also remove and add any positions of video cards. You can also select any of our test processors from the list in the drop-down menu, comparing its performance with the given video card tests (by default, the most productive solution is selected).

| VIDEO MEMORY CONSUMPTION |
Testing of video memory consumed by the game was carried out by the program MSI Afterburner. The indicator was based on the results on video cards from AMD and NVIDIA with separate screen sizes 1920×1080 and 2560×1440 with different anti-aliasing settings. By default, the graph displays the most current solutions. Other video cards are added and removed from the schedule at the request of the reader.
