This game is really good. I bought it because I wanted to try Pokopia, but am unwilling to spend $600 on a single game. This game scratches the itch that game was giving me. The building is fun, the environment is cozy and engaging, and I honestly do get the drive to help the villagers. My main complaint is that the combat is very shallow and boring. It should have been turn based! This is Dragon Quest! The writing can be a little long winded but that is par for the course for any JRPG. The writing is relatively funny at least. The game runs perfectly on Linux with Proton, no issues. 8/10.

So, this game has been a favorite of mine since late 2019. Don't let my play time fool you, that's just what I've done on Steam. I've got physical copies for playstation and switch and have easily sunk several thousand hours into it in the last 6 1/2 years. Gameplay is very straightforward, simple to learn and simple to master, but that allows a lot of room for creativity pretty much right off the bat. The story is equally straightforward: it gets a little hand-hold-y and definitely encourages you to focus on progression for the sake of unlocking the full suite of build features, and does more tutorializing for each new feature than is probably necessary for an adult audience. That said, once you're past the initial hurdle of the tutorials on each main story island, there's still a lot of room for creativity. If a character tells you to go and collect supplies, there's nothing stopping you from going and doing something else if you've got the materials in pocket for it. If you're looking for mechanically in-depth building systems, this is unfortunately probably not for you. While the gameplay system is essentially Minecraft-Lite, you don't have anything equivalent to, say, redstone. Most of the mechanical complexity is in NPC behavior rather than machinery. Not to mention modding is basically nonexistent; a few shader mods, dev console, and a broken FPS cap remover. (Locked at your choice of 60 or 30 otherwise.) If you're looking for something on-par with Minecraft and its mechanical and modding ecosystem, you should probably stick to Minecraft. If you're looking for a game with a very easy loop of collecting and building, this is definitely for you. I've lost a lot of time when a session I intended to be 2 hours at most turned into closer to 11. As the game progresses, you can eventually unlock a pseudo-creative mode: collecting items on the randomly generated side-islands nets you unlimited supplies of certain materials, and the postgame allows you to outright purchase items you've previously collected for the gratitude points you get for making happy settlements. On top of that, completing enough objectives unlocks the ability to build in 3rd person at long range, essentially by point-and-click instead of being manually placed down by the player character. Combined with the ability to opt into the online features that allow people to share screenshots and explorable copies of their own builds, the momentum for creativity gets easier and easier as the game goes on. The story and its overall message isn't terribly subtle, and in fact it pretty clearly telegraphs how the plot is going to play out from the word go. However, this is deliberate: Builders 2 acts as a sequel to Dragon Quest Builders, but also as an alternate universe sequel to Dragon Quest 2 from 1990. Much like the first Builders game, which was in turn an alternate universe sequel to the OG Dragon Quest, it takes a late game detour and a last-minute event from canon and plays "what if?" with it through the whole game, essentially inverting the narrative arc by turning what had been a plot twist into a looming inevitability. That said, if you've never played Dragon Quest 2, that's more just a matter of "huh. neat." So, outside of that, it's still charming in a very teen-shounen-storytelling-meets-classing-JRPG-tropes sort of way. Power of friendship to fight god and all that fun stuff. Anyways, 11/10, undeniable comfort game that's been very easy to come back to. If you're looking for something to play instead of Pokopia because you don't want to buy a Switch 2 and also a $70 game you don't actually own, then this is for you. Same developers, same engine, different IP.

while I do have gripes with this game (absurdly long dialogue segments, bad combat controls and a tendency to be too handholdy) this is one of my all time favourites and scratches an itch that no other game has been able to. My biggest gripe of all is that there isnt a 3 yet.

681 hours in as of typing this review, and that's only on Steam. I've clocked over 1,500 hours on the Nintendo Switch as well, and I'm still not bored of this game! I've unlocked every achievement, and now I'm aiming to finish out the Medals and Builderpedia just so that I can continue to build! This is definitely one of the best crafting games to grace our great timeline. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in Dragon Quest and/or crafting.

This is the game that I always come back to. It is my favorite and unless they make a third installment, I will keep coming back to it until I die at this rate. I love the plot, the mechanics, the visual style (cannot STAND Minecraft graphics), and characters. I really hope they make a third installment. Hopefully they make it so that NPCs room preferences can be seen when you find them, so that I don't have to keep bringing them back to my island only to find that they are not what I'm looking for. I want to be able to pair them up easier by room preference, as it saves space and gets me more gratitude points by fulfilling all room preferences. That is the only truly frustrating thing about the game, I think.
