Find this a really strange point for the review to make when you can literally make larger and more detailed structures than what the first game allowed due to limits imposed back then.A review from Gamekult.(6/10)
-No too much building this time...you can spend a lot of time without building anything.A lot of NPCs will do everything for you.
You don't have to. It's great, and if you can catch it on sale I recommend. Having save data from the first one does unlock extra stuff in the new game.
Chapter 2 and up of the story mode drops you in without many resources to work with, initially, unlike chapter 1. And if you played on the PS4 version, each chapter had a built-in speedrun challenge, amongst others, that had you beat them within a certain amount of in-game days.Quick question here, i really like the first game, but the lack of challenge was really noticing after a couple of hours into the game. Does that game have something to spice thing a little ?
Really? I didn't know about this. Do you know if its fine to have the save data in the cloud or does it have to be on the system?You don't have to. It's great, and if you can catch it on sale I recommend. Having save data from the first one does unlock extra stuff in the new game.
Mmm, the building thing sounds bad for the type of play i like actually (i like building stuff, if the villagers are completely automated in building your city, that would make me sad, but if you can choose that would be great actually). I was waiting for 2 instead of buying 1 after loving the demo, but it seems it change some things for the worse? While i would not like monsters detroying my buildings all the time, a little bit of it seems cool. The fights seem less interesting? how so?
What do people that have played both think?
Thats excellent to know, thanks for the info!Monsters that come in random raids can destroy your buildings, but whenever there's a miniboss/boss battle the town is restored to its pre-battle state afterwards so the damage isn't lasting.
The bosses seemed about just as gimmicky as they were in the first game to me. I actually quite liked the second and third chapter boss battles.
Overall, thinking about the story mode, it's better in some aspects and worse in others, but considering the post-game and how it stacks up as a building game in general, it completely blows the first game out of the water.
Thanks, topped up my PSN ready to pre-order, but having a hard time understanding if this will float my boat or not, I love city building sims, RPG's and minecraft so it should be a no brainer.. but, dunno, seems like I might get bored of it very quickly based on these previews.
It's not going to be the game you play for the next three years, but I think I put around 80 hours into the first and thoroughly enjoyed my time with it
I guess I'm excited - I just preordered the Deluxe edition on PS4 lol!! I saw there are blocks/items/furniture in the DLC packs and I MUST have allll the blocks, so why not just buy it all at once?!

This is out tomorrow night - did I miss the OT or has it not been posted yet?
I adored the first game and love both DQ and Minecraft style games so this is one of my biggest releases for 2019. 21 hours to go :)
Wait, are these blocks part of the season pass or deluxe exclusive? I can't get them if I want it physically?
- Knickknack Pack (July 26, Free) – This free pack includes three recipes so players can celebrate with some Hotto flair.
- Hotto Stuff Pack (July 26, $5.99) – This pack includes more than 40 recipes to design and decorate structures that look similar to The Hotto Steppe, as well as an additional island to gather the new materials.

- Modernist Pack (Aug. 9, $9.99) – This pack includes more than 70 different recipes to construct modern-looking structures, as well as additional hairstyles and clothing.
But it's PS4 exclusive? Can't find any on Switch, just the game and season pass combo.
you can get the deluxe which has the game and season pass combo.
I dont think the content is console exclusive. I do wish that they had just sold the game as a complete edition because the DLC is already finished.
Played the first one on Switch, really wish the framerate wasn't so garbage on Switch this time or I would have gotten it on there again. Really wished they would have paired back things more to get a stable framerate, even if it just locked to 30.
Eh. Not really. We had code for over a week. And we're not even a top tier site at any rate. Here's our PS4 review. AFAIK Switch review codes went out later.
