We <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/reviews\/nintendo-switch\/dragon_quest_builders_2\">enjoyed our time with the game for review<\/a>, arguing that in many ways, it manages to beat its inspiration <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/minecraft\">Minecraft<\/a><\/strong> at its own game. Here&#8217;s a snippet of what we said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The melding of JRPG conventions with the open-ended and creatively focused sentiments of sandbox gameplay proves to go over much smoother than you\u2019d expect, especially now that Square Enix seems to know what it\u2019s 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\u2019t want to miss out on.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Have you bought a copy?
