Costume Quest 2

Alrighty, so what if we made the first game but with worse combat, slower pacing, annoying to navigate UI, and make take a chunk of the original charm of the first game. It took me about 5 hours to beat the base game of Costume Quest 1, it took me 2.5 hours to beat the first boss of Costume Quest 2. I think that says enough.

This game (and its predecessor) are so much fun! Super cute art, really funny dialogue and details and cozy gameplay. So worth it!

What was awesome about the first game I can say about this sequel AND it's better, AND I STILL THINK both games need to be remade/remastered just so it can be brought back and I can have a new excuse to talk about these games with people. Underrated, not perfect gameplay but so fun and endearing and engaging that I think a refresher would be unmatched!

Honestly as a sequel i didn't like it as much as the first but dang it it really managed to make me love it eventually, same charm as the first if not more charming, though the battle mechanics to me just aren't as fun as the first, still just as polished though, wish double fine would make a costume quest 3 someday, still a great ride and i play it and the first every halloween to christmas time

TLDR: Better than the prior game in most regards. 8/10 Pro's. - Artstyle. Looks better and runs better than the prior game with more detail and variety. - Combat. Far better this time around with a little more depth. - Story. Going from "save the day" to "save the world". Still not anything original but it's still a classic, fun story. - Slightly more depth than the prior game. Enemies now have weaknesses, your costume matters more and even has it's own way of upgrading. Con's. - Length. Comes in at around 6 hours. The game is better overall than the prior title but it would've been better if the story spanned a little more. - Healing. In the first game you healed when combat was finished so you didn't have to slow down the pace. Now you need healing stations so backtracking is gonna be something that happens a lot and it just slows everything down. Honestly it feels far better than the prior game. Hits 60fps, has more depth and more challenge. 8/10

Fun little turn based rpg, very light on customisation but at least there's a few abilities to unlock. If you played the first one, you know what you're getting because this one uses some of the assets from the last game, tweaks a few things, and other than that is more of the same. I gave the first game a 6/10, I'll give this one a 5/10, because they didn't add enough to keep it fresh, feels like a bigger DLC. But still decent if you liked the first one. Achievements - a couple of missable ones, you have to use Candy Corn as one of your characters for every battle, doesnt have to be your main, I left it as the middle character. There's one collectible card that only drops from ads in the last building you go into (50% drop chance) and the ads don't respawn, so save and take out ads, reload til you pick that up. Around 12 hours for the 100%.
