    Hot dog costumes, door-to-door trick-or-treating, a dystopian future, and plenty of bad candy corn jokes are all just a small piece of what makes Costume Quest 2 another worthy game that should grab your attention during the month of October.

    Even with all of its Halloween charm, Costume Quest 2’s greatest strength is that it knows its limits. It's a short experience, and it's to it benefit as it never feels bloated. It’s the quintessential bite-sized RPG, wrapped in all the Halloween charm you could ever hope for.

    Navigation is iffy, and the healing system is a bit broken even after a major revision, but its humor and personality shine through to make this a good Halloween bounty.

    A satisfying confection overall. [Christmas 2014, p.78]

    A little extra ambition and depth wouldn't have gone amiss, but this is definitely more treat than trick. [Jan 2015, p.86]

    Costume Quest 2 is a pretty bog standard RPG, but it’s outfitted with charm by the bucket load, and that’s its real appeal.

    Costume Quest 2 may look appealing on the outside, but dull combat and repetitive quests mar a good storyline and some interesting ideas.

I'm not sure if this is what all RPG games are like, but I always avoided them thinking they would be too complicated and/or boring. But this game was simple to learn and addictive to level up and progress. It gets a little repetitive after a couple of hours, but I was still determined to continue and complete the quests and obtain trophies, etc. Disappointed there's not really any replay value though. Hoping there might be some DLC in the works. Expand

In future the series need to review their audience because most people already have grown up, and even the children are most smart in this time. Expand

    Costume Quest 2 is a good game but I was slightly disappointed it did not perform better than Costume Quest 1. The Charming and Witty DialogueCostume Quest 2 is a good game but I was slightly disappointed it did not perform better than Costume Quest 1. The Charming and Witty Dialogue is awesome (major props to Candy Corn). More costumes to play around in although i wasn't sure what the Robot Costume added but I loved Superhero, Wolfman, and Hotdog and hope the Banana costume gets added 1 day in the future. The battle system is more simplified now with all three characters having the same method of attack, block, counter, special, and the new option of running away. The creepy treat cards take over the battle stamps and work well for the most part though i could have done without the extra 100 candy card. Quests are pretty easy to solve and Costume Pieces/Secrets are pretty easy to spot as well. Overall, I feel the difficulty has dropped to appeal to a younger crowd. I died one time in the entire game and It was against a common enemy. Boss Battles are super straightforward with the last boss of the game being a complete joke. The Dentist just doesn't feel challenging or menacing in the slightest compared to the main villain of Costume Quest 1. Overall, i still say buy it but wait for a price drop/sale. $10 is the max i would buy the game Expand

    The Good: The battles system is much improved with a cool timed attack feature, time your attacks just right for added damage. Likewise,The Good: The battles system is much improved with a cool timed attack feature, time your attacks just right for added damage. Likewise, time your defense for a counter. Also improved are the cinematic fight sequences, which have even more charm than they did in the first game.

    The Bad: Way too short, and way too easy. Compared to the first game the challenge has taken a dramatic step downwards, using your creepy cards is not even necessary to beat the final battles of the game. I remember in the original game losing all my characters in battle at least a few times, but I didn't lose a single battle in Costume Quest 2, and I felt a bit cheated because of it.

    If you're a fan of the first game I still definitely recommend playing this one, for the story and tweaked fight system, otherwise, you should save your money.

    The first game was one of my favorites, even WITH the terrible tank controls. This game keeps the same controls much to my disappointment.The first game was one of my favorites, even WITH the terrible tank controls. This game keeps the same controls much to my disappointment. When I turn around, I don't want to watch my character pivot in a 180, I want to go the other way right away.

    Now for the worst part of it. The frame rate is astonishingly low. I don't need 60 fps but I need at least 30 while walking. Unfortunately it struggles to keep steady while walking and while you use your roller skates, the game is incredibly choppy. Such a shame. I was waiting for this one for four years.
