Dragon Quest Builders 2

Final WeaponPayne Grist

Dragon Quest Builders is an excellent game. It smartly fuses the crafting elements of Minecraft with the engaging JRPG design of Dragon Quest. Even the aesthetics are beautifully combined to create an appealing world to interact with. The PC version is also the best way to experience Dragon Quest Builders, with customizable graphics options that allow the game to achieve higher spec graphics than its preceding versions and can run the game well even on low-powered systems. Not to mention the ...

Dragon Quest Builders came out in 2016 and shocked me and everyone else who played it. We were expecting for a cash grab, something trying to ride on Minecraft‘s coattails, but what we ended up getting was a surprisingly deep mix between an action RPG, a slice-of-life simulator, and, of course, Minecraft. The plot was so good and the missions were so well-explained that you felt motivated to give your all and build the best city you could possibly think of. It was flawed, without a doubt, b...

A beautiful mashup of both Minecraft and Dragon Quest, DQB2 is a wonderful sequel to the well received first game of the series. A bigger world and more to do

Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a block-building good time, which offers a fun story and lots of creative freedom to make the world you want.

7.5/10

Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a marked improvement on its predecessor. Although the combat is still underwhelming, the rest of the package is sharp, charming, and loaded with stuff to build, crops to farm, and settlements to manage.

An esoteric little gem, Dragon Quest Builders 2 is an enormously enjoyable RPG-building sandbox hybrid that deserves time and attention.

7/10

Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a well-made game, but the story mode can be a drag and the multiplayer implementation may not be what fans expect. There is still room for improvement with this franchise, and it's easy to see how a third entry that addresses these concerns could very well end up being a classic.

6.9/10

There is so much more I could talk about, but if you’re willing to put in the time then going in spoiler-free is the way to go. There is great fun to be had in this game if you are patient enough. The story is good, most of the time the gameplay is fun, but the constant loss of control over things can be grating. As this is available on Game Pass for Xbox consoles and PC though it is worth checking out if the premise of it interests you at all. I hope this series continues and learns that at the very least a mode where I can just have fun playing it and not skipping dialogue constantly would m...

When I first got my hands on Dragon Quest Builders 2, I was thinking “Lets finish this game in 10 hours and move on”. God, I was so wrong! Dragon Quest Builders 2 is very simple but yet addictive at the same time. After clocking more than 40 hours of very enjoyable game time, this is our review.

Do you like Dragon Quest, but always wanted to build all the towns yourself?  Omega Force and Square-Enix decided to serve that particular niche in 2016 with the original Dragon Quest Builders,  an open world RPG title in the Dragon Quest setting, which also took on elements  of crafting games such as Minecraft. Now, a sequel has arrived, aptly titled Dragon Quest Builders 2, which expands all the elements that made the original great.  Admittedly, there are still some improvements they c...
