Dragon Quest Builders may appear to be a Minecraft clone, but don’t go writing it off. It brings with it the color and beauty of Dragon Quest‘s rich world, to great benefit.

I think this'll be good for older gamers who grew up loving Dragon Quest but feel too "old" for Minecraft -- because that's getting a reputation as kind of a kids game (even though it's perfectly playable by any age group).

DQ games always appeal to every age group of gamers as it always as something for everyone.
DQ builders has great visual style, awesome gameplay element, deep crafting element and strategy element; Some or All of this can be enjoyed by every age group.

I really like the 3rd person overhead view of this game compared to Minecraft.

It helps make it feel different enough, and the Dragon Quest RPG elements help as well.

* Dragon Quest is awesome.

S2Killinit3130d ago

This game has soo much charm. I want to delve into its world badly.

Feels strange to release now after Dragon Quest Builders 2 has been available for so many years. It was good for its time, but DQ Builders 2 improved on it in so many ways. I'd have a harder time going back to the first one now.

TGG_overlord79d ago

You are correct...So I don't know the thought proecess behind this move...Besides an easy money grab.

OtterX79d ago

I do hope they make a 3rd in the series, so I'll support this easy money grab. I really enjoyed DQ Builders 2 especially. :)

I'd like to see them bring in more advanced building concepts, like Minecraft's redstone machines. I much prefer playing w non-blocky characters, w this Dragon Quest feel.

ZeekQuattro79d ago

Odd choice. The sequel is better and more realized in every way.

Wait, no new PS1, PS2 or PSP additions?

CrimsonWing69554d ago

It’s frustrating how they barely update that library. I get that Jimbo hates old games, but c’mon, the classic catalogue with trophies was a big draw for me. Was really hoping to get some heavy duty classic PS1 games to platinum. Looks like they’ll do exactly what they did on PS4 with the PS2 library…

LucasRuinedChildhood554d ago (Edited 554d ago )

Games like Resistance: Retribution have already been rated as well so they have some stuff ready.

I think they still don't have a healthy supply of classic games for the next few months and they have to really spread them out ... so because of all those Yakuza remasters on Premium this month ... they made the decision to hold off putting up more PSP or PS1 games until next month. :(

They need clearer communication on this. They could have said that we can look forward to some PSP games next month or something.

FinalFantasyFanatic553d ago

I'm so glad I stuck with the essential tier, I'd be ticked paying more with the expectation that the classic catalogue would be regularly updated and built up. The classic catalogue was the biggest draw of the upper tiers for me, so not seeing any new PS1 games is pretty disappointing.

Ben Dover554d ago

While the VC remake is a turd, this is an impressive month.

SlothLordPootus554d ago

Has vice city been fixed? If not it feels like a weird addition. Lots for Dragon Quests fans.

jeromeface554d ago

fixed? Its kinda hard to fix something that was a mobile port to begin with... so no

cluclap554d ago

It wasn't a mobile port though? The team that made them did the mobile games but if I remember the actual remakes aren't the mobile versions.

andy85554d ago

Playing it at the moment. It actually looks pretty clean. I'm on PS5 though, can't comment for other versions. I guess the updates helped a bit

VersusDMC554d ago

If you like assassins creed and Dragon Quest enjoy the multiple games.

Just plan on playing Medium and the Yakuza remasters right now.

EvertonFC554d ago

"inside" indie game looks interesting for sure too

SlothLordPootus554d ago

Inside is great. If youve played limbo it's very similar

dazzysima554d ago

Seems the PS Plus offer is running out of steam already.

Have they even added any new trials since launch?

rob-GP554d ago

Yes, loads - they just stupidly havn't updated the list on the console!

I can't recall of the top of my head but there's been a bunch of games, probably about 10 or so. I'm gonna drop Shu another email and try and get him to tell the UX team to update the list. It's annoying when they don't update things

VersusDMC554d ago

I checked out the soulstice trial recently. And i heard they added dying light 2 so i might check that one out as well.

MrNinosan554d ago

Running out of steam? This month is amazing, and the months before it has been great aswell.
At least 3 of the Dragon Quest games are great, Medium is okay, Assassins Creed is nice gems for those who missed put, Inside amazing, Castlevania superb, the Yakuza remakes are fantastic.

Lots of Trials has been added simce launch.
If you don't use the service or are interested enough to first check what's there, why comment?
