Great game... spent about 40 hours so far and still going strong! I've always been a Dragon Quest fan - this is a good cross between DQ/Legoworld/MineCraft

A hallmark of excellence. It may have some flaws, but they are negligible to what is otherwise a supreme title.

This is a great game. Like that it has open world battling and allows players to be creative when designing the city and completing building quests.

Dragon Quest Builders is an entertaining RPG, a marvellous builder, and simply a tremendous game all-round.

Interesting quests; Rewarding progression; Fun building mechanics; Great free roam mode

No quest log or side mission tracking

A brilliant marriage in which two very different types of game - Minecraft and the classical console RPG - come together to find their ...

Though it has some flaws, Dragon Quest Builders shows how a good story mode can really be implemented in this building genre. The boss battles are mostly fun (with a few exceptions, such as the second boss), quests make your buildings have meaning and a plot, although simple, really makes the game...

But perhaps that's just an issue that someone like me, the Lego-perplexed and Minecraft -averse will run into. It's worth it, though, to finally experience joy in creating and crafting. I just needed a little guidance and a reason to build.

Beautiful to look at; Just enough structure to not leave you to your own devices; Lots to do

Camera makes aiming difficult; No autosave feature; No co-op

I have never played an ounce of Minecraft , and I've never had any desire to do so. My eldest son, who's eight years old, is absolutely obsessed with it. He builds some amazing things, and it really taps into that creative mind he has for architecture and construction.

Charming Dragon Quest visual style; Fluid combat; Deep crafting system; Minecrafting with a purpose; Dragon Quest

Odd glitches with room building; Camera does not like enclosed spaces

Dragon Quest Builders serves as the jumping-off point for a new tale in a new period using an old setting--the storied land of Alefgard from the first Dragon Quest. It's an alternate reality that begins where the original game ends, but with a twist: the hero from the first game didn't defeat the...

Engrossing crafting and building systems; Endearing enemies help the hours fly by; Rewarding quests; Invasions introduce superb tower-defense gameplay

Disappointing lack of cross-save given identical content between platforms
