Most of the time the game is working properly, though, humming along with an endless series of pleasant tasks to chase after.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 was great when it released on consoles and it’s still a blast on PC.

The charming mix of Minecraft and Dragon Quest works even better the second time round, with a smart sequel that address the flaws of the original while adding plenty of new features of its own.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 technically makes everything right: A nice story combined with motivational mission build ups deliver a great way for creative players to express themselves. The big problems from the last game stay mostly the same: The grind and the lack of variety. If you enjoyed the first game you'll still have a lot of fun with it.

Dragon Quest Builders is what you would expect from a sequel. Richer, bigger, better.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 took everything that worked from the original, adorable, nostalgia-riddled experience and upped the ante with better graphical effects, a stronger progression structure, and a more mature narrative that still has the classic Dragon Quest charm

Not a revolution but an evolution of the first game on the series that would please everyone that has played that game or Minecraft, but become repetitive with the time.

A lighthearted romp, with plenty of opportunities for creative building and a surprisingly good story.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 offers a lot of fun but camera and controls are its main weaknesses.

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 one of the best voxel building based games you can try. This game blends long stories of Dragon Quest series with Minecraft-like building gameplay quite well and offers a very unique experience. There are improvements in most aspects of gameplay and graphics compared to the first Dragon Quest Builders. There are also some flaws like a shallow combat system and some control issues, but they are not very troublesome. If you like building based games like Minecraft or wished for a Minecraft-like game with a story, or even you're just a Dragon Quest fan, then this game is for you.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a great follow-up to the original, placing you in the shoes of an amateur builder. The main story practically amounts to a fetch quest of acquiring skills and people, but that doesn't bring the game down much. Building takes the forefront, and it will definitely keep you busy.

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.
