    Block building mixed with RPG and survival elements and even farming works quite well within the Dragon Quest backdrop. Slimes and traditional enemies are fitting for a cute aesthetic like this and I kept wanting to progress further to see what new items I could craft and build with. Able to focus on any aspect you desire, DRAGON QUEST BUILDERS 2 is a great blend of genres and may surprise you with how expansive its world actually is.

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

    Dragon Quest Builders 2 is going to be the perfect game for some people and the most tedious of ones for others. Presenting a more directed take on the classic Minecraft structure, this succeeds at retaining that creativity while actively giving players something to work for and something tangible to do. But, more impressively, Builders 2 never feels like a pale imitation.

    最近打开xsx玩了会儿绯红结系，玩了一阵不下去。
    看着那些已经下好很久没打开的游戏，打开了dqb2试了试，没想到就停不下来了。
    印象中在ps上玩过1的试玩版，觉得这种类型是真不适合我，包括我的世界。    最近打开xsx玩了会儿绯红结系，玩了一阵不下去。

    没想到2能够这么完美的把dq系剧情和建造结合得这么好。傻傻的怪物，涩涩的人类，严肃剧情要求特别高的我反而对这种童话式剧情很是喜爱。
    如果说从第一个岛只是有些惊讶的话，到监狱那一段就是惊喜了，而第三个岛的玩法虽然大同小异，但机制又不太一样。
    从7点5分到9分，在我心中的评分一点点缓缓升高。
    最后的击掌，我给这游戏9点5分。    … Expand

    An inspired hybrid of traditional Dragon Quest and Minecraft. A traditional RPG with a quirky twist in that you build your way through questsAn inspired hybrid of traditional Dragon Quest and Minecraft. A traditional RPG with a quirky twist in that you build your way through quests as much as fight through them, with the gameplay largely revolving around renovating various hubs on different islands from a ruin to everything from a thriving farm to a majestic castle.

    It's also surprisingly massive in scale - there's 60+ hours of structured content here, with great dialogue and fun characters.

    It has flaws though. The camera often irritates - whilst the game encourages creativity, any building with a low roof results in camera chaos; even the missions themselves don't bother with roof building.

    The story itself is... OK. If I have a problem with Dragon Quest overall as a series, it's that the wheels begin to fall off every game towards the end, and it's absolutely riddled with cliches to the point of parody.

    Overall, there's a lot of value to be had here. If you've played a DQ game before, you'll be surprised by the twist on the familiar here - go with it, it's fun! If you love Minecraft, you'll again by surprised by how this title doesn't just ape that game but actually brings something new to the table.    … Expand
