Infinity Nikki Beta Hands-on Preview – Glitz And Glamor

As someone who has never played a game from the Nikki series but knew a lot about it from other people talking about the mobile games, I was truly shocked playing the Closed Beta of Infinity Nikki. My time with the game was short, but I can't wait for more. If you're someone who loves to customize your character, unlock new outfits, and get to play dress-up, this is the perfect game for that. Typically, I avoid the gacha game experience, and it took me a while to realize that Infinity Nikki was a gacha game until it was mentioned in a tutorial. Compared to other gacha games, the micro-transaction part of the game didn't feel like it was forced on you or like you were being influenced into purchasing something.

Instead, it simply felt like an accessory to the game, where you could form your own decisions about whether you used the system or not. However, stepping into the world of Infinity Nikki was nothing short of magical. From the high-definition graphics to the sparkle effects on the clothing, I was enamored immediately.

As a kid growing up with browser games, I spent a lot of time playing dress-up games online, including StarDoll. Growing up, I continued to love games where I could dress characters up and customize them, which is why I have such an intense love of The Sims, even today. Getting to step into a world full of magic, glitz and glamor felt like a dream come true, and every second I played of Infinity Nikki was an absolute delight.

The fashion wasn't the only thing that blew me away. The Unreal Engine 5-powered graphics and location designs were absolutely stunning, and I ended up with quite a few screenshots just to create some backgrounds for my laptop. The lighting was perfect, and it was very realistic and magical to look at. In certain locations, it reminded me of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but with more realistic animations
