![]() It manages this by regularly making you start over from the bottom – inviting you to use your gathering and building prowess to lovingly restore and protect towns ravaged by a (conceptually very silly) ban on all types of construction. It's in the heroics that the game sets itself apart.Īlthough there’s plenty of fun to be had in expanding your own island in the game’s limitless creative zones, those who follow Dragon Quest Builders 2’s story will be rewarded with a compelling experience that maintains a strong commitment to variety. Embracing that role through the game’s story is where it really shines, helping it jump from Builders 2 cross the border from ‘a game that’s a bit like Minecraft’ into the territory of ‘a game that expands on the premise of Minecraft’. Amidst all the farming, crafting, gathering, building and, indeed, mining, you’ll also be expected to assume the mantle of a Dragon Quest hero. Systems are stacked lovingly upon one another in Dragon Quest Builders 2, which at its peaks, resembles a sparkling cocktail of survival Minecraft’s base-expanding mid-game, Rune Factory’s farming and just a dash of The Sims thrown in for good measure. All of this, of course, is wrapped in the familiar, cosy designs of Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Quest world. In this way, Builders 2 offers a similar blend of structure and freedom to Minecraft, teaching you how to create living, breathing communities as part of the main quest, and simultaneously insisting that you apply those same lessons to create whatever your heart desires on your own mini paradise island. Across the game’s lengthy single player story and beyond, Builders 2 frequently acknowledges the kind of player that it attracts, encouraging you to ignore the boundaries of its intricate community-building simulator in favor of building whatever the hell you’d like on your own terms. In Japan, the game also received a free post-game island, so we can presumably expect that to be included in the western release as well.Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a prime example of where such ambition can take us: an undeniably charming game that shows both reverence to the franchise it’s based on and the art of creativity within games itself. ![]() Dragon Quest Builders 2 is out on the PS4 and Nintendo Switch on July 12.
