Dragon Quest Builders 2, which is out tomorrow on PlayStation 4 and Switch, is better than the first game. The first game was great. This one is better than great. I use plenty of fancy words to explain what I mean in this video.

Tim Rogers is the hottest property in video gaming journalism right now. That is obvious. What is not so obvious but equally true is that Tim's reviews not only have the ability to hype me hard enough to purchase a game I previously little about but also SUSTAIN me though said game to COMPLETION, when surely otherwise I would have pushed it atop my already intimidatingly tall tower of unfinished gaming shame, never to be played again. Only Tim's reviews have that power over me.

@@copyjrcc2mexico257 To be fair, unless you pre-ordered the ps4 version the game has been out for over a year before coming to the switch/pc. It's not like preordering a traditional game were nobody has a clue if its going to be any good. You can just look at the reviews of the pc/ps4 version and get a 90% accurate impression.

I've been slowly playing through the Japanese version of this game (it has furigana so it's pretty good for intermediate learners) very slowly for the past 3 months. It has become one of my favourite games of all time. I'm halfway through the story and the game is still handing out game-changing new mechanics at every corner. I hope it never ends (although once it ends, I'll play Dragon Quest XI S).

There are 3 things I dislike about DQB2. The fact that the button to select and talk to npcs are the same button. That the heavy attack is basically useless. And Malroth. I don't dislike the character, I dislike how fairly useless he is in any and all combat situations. He attacks so slowly, I end up doing more damage even when I am so much weaker because by the time he gets one hit in, I've gotten 8-10. Plus he's on top of me all the time. Back off please, which would alleviate my first issue with this game. Besides that, some of the most fun I've had playing a game all year.
