I’m currently playing through Chapter 2 of the first DQB. I never really got into MineCraft because if it’s that open-ended and you can do anything, really you’re doing nothing. I need some kind of questing structure, and Dragon Quest Builders really did a good job filling in that void. The top-notch writing and charm factor that’s brought by the Dragon Quest franchise is there.
I’m really looking forward to playing this. Hopefully the towns can be bigger, I always find my villages rather crowded.
