Dragon Quest Builders Review (PCichigo)


Whoever start this game series, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

It might not be the best game ever exist, but it is one of my favorite game of all time. This game series will leave a mark on my heart forever, I'm grateful for anyone who create this.
When I first hear about this game release in 2016, it was very exciting, but sadly the game is an exclusive title for PlayStation only, so I never have a chance to play at that time. Many years later, I finally decide to get the Nintendo Switch with DQB2 as one of my primary reason. After my surprising on how good DQB2 is, I decide to track down and get DQB1 on Nintendo Switch soon after.
By switching back from playing DQB2 to DQB1, I can see a lot of downgrade feature when I first playthrough. However, DQB1 is still great, it feel satisfied, fun, and classic. And not long ago, they decide to port DQB1 into Steam which make me very happy a lot, so I decide to grab a bundle of for both DQB1 and DQB2 to playthrough again.
The only thing that DQB1 did better than DQB2 in my opinion is the story. The story is about hope and despair, human vs monster, light and dark, good vs evil, the borderline is very clear. While in DQB2, they try to grayscale everything down, creation and destruction living together in harmony, not quiet my favorite story to be honest but I guess it is a standard nowadays.
If you never play this series before, as far as the story go, you are the builder who destiny by the goddess to rebuild the city and recreate new civilization from the old ruin of darkness. True to the story, you are the builder not the hero, fighting is not your priority nor your strength, but the power of creation is your main virtue, to build fortress and facility to prevent the monster invasion and prepare every convenience until the day that the hero come is what the goddess told you to do...
Since this is my second playthrough, so I decide to take my time in each chapter as long as possible, and build the best city in each chapter as best as I can. It is a wonderful experience, but sadly a little too short for me, after only 80 hours, I already finish the game with 100% achievements, so I decide to move on, and continue my journey on DQB2.
