Nintendo World Report9.50/10

Dragon Quest Builders 2 features solid controls, attractive presentation, online multiplayer and limitless charm, but these don’t tell the whole story. Each element of the experience on its own would be less than impressive, but like a pile of wood, bricks, mortar, and steel before its shaped by human hands, the sum of its parts culminate in an impressive and memorable architecture.

The reception has been pretty positive so far. So if you're planning on getting Dragon Quest Builder's latest installment, the coast is clear. Or, you could wait for the User reviews to seep in.
