Dragon Quest Builders 2 Reviews
If the formula of the first game didn’t appeal to you then nothing that Dragon Quest Builders 2 does will change your mind, the game is in every respect better than its predecessor, but doesn’t change its form in any way to appease those scorned by it before.
A little minecraft and a pinch of Harvest Moon paired with action RPG elements make Dragon Quest Builders 2 a fun game with a few smaller corners and edges. If you can get along with the mass of text and the rather simple story, you get a really fun game that can captivate for hours.

With such an expansive land to explore divided into isles, a fantastic building component, and genuine feeling of warmth and accomplishment, Dragon Quest Builders 2 is utterly fun and adorable at the same time. Whether you play for a little or hours at a time, there is always something to do that will add to your gaming experience. This game is utterly charming to look at and plays like a really well tuned machine. I am pressed to fault it to be honest. It achieves everything it promises and then some. I had a good time with it and am sure you will as well regardless of your age.
Dragon Quest Builders 2 maintains some elements in common with the original title, but it also saves many other surprises.
Dragon Quest Builders 2 is pretty much what can be expected of a sequel in the sense that it improves on practically everything its predecessor presented. With its immense, open world, new possibilities of exploration and an improved progression system, Dragon Quest Builders 2 will not only appeal to fans of the previous game but to everyone who enjoys spending time exploring and building cities.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 just feels like a more well-rounded, better polished, much-improved game in every sense of the word. I am completely hooked and am in absolute awe at what’s been achieved here.
For my first ‘Dragon Quest’ experience, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The building aspect wasn’t tedious, there was always a method to the madness, but not restricting it in the sense that you had to build this and that, there was always that balance that gave you creative freedom, while sometimes helping you along.
Enhancing its predecessor's formula, Builders 2 delivers an even more charismatic, rewarding and fun experience. While there is freedom to play with the possibilities of the game, the complaints are minimal. However, the design of the missions and the game's constant tutorials are annoying, assuming the player needs "crutches" for even the most basic tasks. The imbalance in tutorial implementation will require players' perseverance, but the investment is worth it after all.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a gigantic game that in comparison with the first game, benefits from a better building system and a more free and detailed world. But lack of advancement in the combat system and repetitive nature of it hurts the experience. Also apart from the great opening segment, as we progress the story, dialogues become more and more repetitive and in some cases, it gets too long and unnecessary

Dragon Quest Builders 2 is simply fantastic. It improves upon the original game in so many ways, with the charming narrative, the intricate building mechanics, and the sense of adventure that comes with exploring each island coming together perfectly to make for a truly remarkable experience. I really enjoyed the first game and in many ways its gameplay mechanics don’t change up all that much in Dragon Quest Builders 2, but the things it does do differently and the new quality of life improvements it introduces really help make it stand out as another brilliant addition to Square Enix’s much-loved RPG series.
A wonderful sequel which fixed a lot of mistakes of the first game and still is as addictive as before. You're not even bothering to look for it's shortcomings, just because there are too many great things about it.

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.
Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a charming deviation from the main Dragon Quest series, with joyful gameplay and a detailed and expansive game world.
A sequel that treads very familiar ground whilst remaining fresh and innovative, Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a great title that delivers on both its promise to give the player an immersive narrative, and also in giving them untold freedom to play the game however they want, as long as they can deal with a dumb hunger meter. Building might be bad, but has never felt so good.
Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a great and fun sequel to the first release. This game can keep you entertained for hours by presenting a lovely story, superb construction mechanics and fun and addictive gameplay. However, Square Enix's new role-playing game is not without flaws and could have done better in many cases. If the first version attracts you, then the second version can surely keep you entertained for hours.

...a charming and enjoyable open-world creation game that is enjoyable for RPG and crafting fans alike.
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.
Satisfying questing, fun NPC interactions, and the joy of building combine to make Dragon Quest Builders 2 a delightful sandbox adventure.
It’s not often that franchise spinoffs can win me over so effectively, let alone twice in a row, but the improvements and additions made in Builders 2 have me feeling like Dragon Quest Builders is more of a franchise, rather than just a builder-game spinoff.
A great title that despite its flaws combines Action RPG and building elements pushing the player's creativity.
