Costume Quest does a lot of things right – it’s humorous, has a great art style that fits the childish theme, a decent battle system, and costumes that double as super powers. Sure, the story is cheesy, but it's also heart-warming and the ending leaves you with a smile on your face. But despite these great qualities, the game does have its shortcomings -- the campaign feels short, side-quests can get repetitive, there isn’t much in the way of character customization, and $15 seems a bit steep. Still, it's a great way to relive the nostalgia of your trick or treating days, so you should give it a try, especially if there's a price drop.

This week the Link Cable Gaming crew gets all dressed up in their finest Halloween garb to discuss their favorite horror and even just spooky games in a special Halloween episode!
MonsterVine: "October is the month of Halloween, so what better time to sit down and play some spooky games? Here are a few of my top picks (in no particular order) for spooky games–which are not necessarily all horror games–to play this month. "
Xbox Wire writes - "Get ready for a Spooktacular October Games with Gold lineup! On Xbox One, play as an adorable villain in the throwback horror puzzle game Slayaway Camp: Butcher’s Cut, and keep your wits about you in the creepy stealth title Maid of Sker. On the Xbox 360, and Xbox One via Backward Compatibility, warp through ancient Egypt in Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy and get your trick-or-treating fix in Costume Quest."
Probably the worst Game with Gold ever, clearly trying to stop the project, they want people to pay $15 a month for Game Pass Ultimate instead of $5 for Gold. I'd rather own my games than rent them.
Not a chance there is $72 worth of content there too, $35 would be pushing it.
Is it weird that no one is talking about how Xbox discontinued 12 month games with gold subs? You can only get 1 month and 3 months on the Xbox web site. So you're options are 120 or 100 a year. I guess you can still find 12 month physical cards...which is a sneaky way of masking a price hike. Well played Microsoft.
still getting It.
It's a great game. The presentation is perfect the game play is fun. The fighting is awesome. If ya got PSN get this game. Its worth the price if ya love all things Halloween!!!!
Played the demo it was good they need more rpg games like this one on disc based, psn based.
The game is way too easy. There is 0 challenge & combat is nothing but a bunch of QTEs.
Main factors unforunately causing me to pass up on this game are:
Short Length
Price
Turn-Based Fighting
Lack of Voices
And repetitive missions.
Too bad, was wanting to play this too.
