    Hot dog costumes, door-to-door trick-or-treating, a dystopian future, and plenty of bad candy corn jokes are all just a small piece of what makes Costume Quest 2 another worthy game that should grab your attention during the month of October.

    Even with all of its Halloween charm, Costume Quest 2’s greatest strength is that it knows its limits. It's a short experience, and it's to it benefit as it never feels bloated. It’s the quintessential bite-sized RPG, wrapped in all the Halloween charm you could ever hope for.

    Navigation is iffy, and the healing system is a bit broken even after a major revision, but its humor and personality shine through to make this a good Halloween bounty.

    A satisfying confection overall. [Christmas 2014, p.78]

    A little extra ambition and depth wouldn't have gone amiss, but this is definitely more treat than trick. [Jan 2015, p.86]

    Costume Quest 2 is a pretty bog standard RPG, but it’s outfitted with charm by the bucket load, and that’s its real appeal.

    Costume Quest 2 may look appealing on the outside, but dull combat and repetitive quests mar a good storyline and some interesting ideas.

    The Good: The battles system is much improved with a cool timed attack feature, time your attacks just right for added damage. Likewise,The Good: The battles system is much improved with a cool timed attack feature, time your attacks just right for added damage. Likewise, time your defense for a counter. Also improved are the cinematic fight sequences, which have even more charm than they did in the first game.

    The Bad: Way too short, and way too easy. Compared to the first game the challenge has taken a dramatic step downwards, using your creepy cards is not even necessary to beat the final battles of the game. I remember in the original game losing all my characters in battle at least a few times, but I didn't lose a single battle in Costume Quest 2, and I felt a bit cheated because of it.

    If you're a fan of the first game I still definitely recommend playing this one, for the story and tweaked fight system, otherwise, you should save your money.    … Full Review »

    The first game was one of my favorites, even WITH the terrible tank controls. This game keeps the same controls much to my disappointment.The first game was one of my favorites, even WITH the terrible tank controls. This game keeps the same controls much to my disappointment. When I turn around, I don't want to watch my character pivot in a 180, I want to go the other way right away.

    Now for the worst part of it. The frame rate is astonishingly low. I don't need 60 fps but I need at least 30 while walking. Unfortunately it struggles to keep steady while walking and while you use your roller skates, the game is incredibly choppy. Such a shame. I was waiting for this one for four years.    … Full Review »
