Is it still worth playing?
This sequel to Dragon Quest Builders is an action role playing sandbox with hack and slash fights, not the turn based combat usual in Dragon Quest. You find materials and use them to construct buildings and other equipment. It reached Japan on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in December 2018, the rest of the world in July 2019, Windows in December 2019 and Xbox One in May 2021. New are underwater exploration and gliding. Up to four players can play online together, or wirelessly on Switch. You can visit other players' worlds, even on other platforms, though not change them, and share photos and building plans on a cross platform bulletin board. Building and exploring with friends in one world is still the draw today.
