The evil Children of Hargon are determined to eradicate all creators and have outlawed the building, cooking, and creation of all things. To spread their destructive dogma, the calamitous cult captures the builders of the world. All hope seems to be lost until you, a young apprentice builder, manage to escape from the clutches of evil.

After washing up on the shores of the deserted Isle of Awakening, you encounter the spirited Malroth, a mysterious youth with no memory of his past. With the help of your fearless new friend, you embark on a grand adventure to gather the skills required to become a full-fledged builder, but the road you build is paved with peril.

[b] Gameplay: [/b] 9.2/10 ; [b] Story: [/b] 7.8/10 If the first game could be described as [b] "Minecraft with a classic Dragon Quest flavor," [/b] then [i] Builders 2 [/i] feels more like [b] "Minecraft meets Story of Seasons and Terraria." [/b] Likewise, if the original was about [b] a lone hero rebuilding the world [/b], this sequel is about [b] everyone working together to make it happen [/b]. Let's start with the gameplay. Purely from a gameplay perspective, there's no question that [i] Builders 2 [/i] is richer and deeper than its predecessor. It expands nearly every system, adds significantly more content, and smooths out many of the awkward mechanics and quality-of-life issues from the first game, making the overall experience much more enjoyable.

I enjoy this game so much as a narratively focused RPG that scratches my creative itch in the best way. Does it have some flaws? Absolutely, but I think the game design, story, and overall charm of this game outweigh them in such a powerful fashion that I've replayed the game an extra 2 times despite them. (I have 200+ hours on console) If you're on the fence, try the demo. If you think the price is steep, wishlist it and wait for a sale. It frequently goes on sale, usually around 50% off. I literally cannot recommend this game any harder if i tried without petitioning Steam to let me super-recommend it or something.
