It takes a surprising amount of effort to beat Minecraft at its own game, but we’d argue that Dragon Quest Builders 2 in many ways surpasses its inspiration in fun factor and replayability. The melding of JRPG conventions with the open-ended and creatively focused sentiments of sandbox gameplay proves to go over much smoother than you’d expect, especially now that Square Enix seems to know what it’s doing with this sub-series. Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a much more confident game than its predecessor, boldly expanding on its concepts, fixing many of its flaws, and providing an overall more robust adventure experience that fans won’t want to miss out on. 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.
From Nintendo Life: "Minecraft, eat your heart out. The second entry in Square Enix's adorable Dragon Quest spin-off series, Dragon Quest Builders 2, will be available for free for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers in Europe from tomorrow.
Nintendo of Europe made the announcement on Twitter earlier today. The free trial period opens from tomorrow until 26th April, so that gives you a whole week to build to your heart's content!"
Excellent game. Big improvement from the first one. One that made me want to complete the game and just goof around a lot more with my creations.
"Developed and Published by Square Enix. Dragon Quest Builders 2 was released on the 20th of December 2018 for the Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It is an action roleplaying sandbox game. It has you building in a fantasy land that is threatened by an evil cult. Can we build on this Dragon Quest Builders 2 review or will we crumble?"

XBA says: DRAGON QUEST BUILDERS 2 is a great blend of block building and RPG genres that may surprise you.
