Dragon Quest Builders 2 Reviews
A lighthearted romp, with plenty of opportunities for creative building and a surprisingly good story.
Dragon Quest Builders 2 is an admirable RPG and an admirable building game that seems to have gotten the best bits of both of its parent genres.
The Minecraft and Dragon Quest mash-up gets refined for the sequel, with a few other outside influences helping make it a laid-back joy.
All the joy and satisfaction of the original, now with upgraded toys, a bigger world and a dog you can pet
Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a fantastic sequel that expands on the original in almost every imaginable way
Satisfying questing, fun NPC interactions, and the joy of building combine to make Dragon Quest Builders 2 a delightful sandbox adventure.
Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a masterpiece. No joke. If automation was to take my job right now, at least I’d have something to lose myself in during these long summer months.
Builders 2 isn’t the breath of fresh air the original was, but it’s even more fun to build stuff, the story is simple but compelling, and when you’re done with the main game, tons of optional goals on the Isle of Awakening give you a reason to keep coming back if you want to.
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 is a block-building good time, which offers a fun story and lots of creative freedom to make the world you want.
Charming characters, a well-tuned gameplay loop, and near endless replayability ensure that you’ll be coming back to this one for quite some time, and though the performance issues are disappointing, we’d still highly recommend you pick up Dragon Quest Builders 2.
Almost all of my time with Dragon Quest Builders 2 has been pleasant, and I look forward to building more, either with my kids playing along or by myself, sipping a beer and relaxing after a long day.
In a perfect world, [the Nintendo Switch] release would have been tuned for a more stable frame rate and power consumption. Hopefully the frame rate can be addressed in future patches because Dragon Quest Builders 2 on Switch is the perfect game for the system but in a not so perfect port.
Building on the original's strong foundations Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a sequel that improves on the original in almost every way.
Overall, Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a good game but not a great one.
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.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a great follow-up in every way imaginable and, dare I say, one of the best games in the entire series.
Dragon Quest Builders 2 was great when it released on consoles and it’s still a blast on PC.
We are facing a complete, long adventure, with infinite possibilities; a tribute to Dragon Quest and his legacy. It is a video game that, as a spin-off, accomplishes what has rarely been achieved: overcoming some major deliveries. And this is achieved with care, with love for the brand, and with well-implemented mechanics.

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.
