I was playing Costume Quest 1 at the release and absolutely loved it, but never came around to play the sequel. Being close to Halloween, I decide to finally pick up Costume Quest 2 to play it on my new Steam Deck oled... and I was in for a treat. It's just as good as CQ1. Such a wonderful atmosphere, fun gameplay and charming story. I loved it from start to finish. Now I just hope we'll get Costume Quest 3. I want more.

Hello friends, Today I will review the game Costume Quest 2. This is a direct sequel to the game Costume Quest 1, so if players want to find out what happens because of that story, start with the first game as the storyline is a directly goes into this game at the start. The second game in the series upgrades the battle system with new costumes, new moves, and cards you can use in fights to get a upper hand on enemies. The storyline is also very good. As stated above, it directly continues from the first game after the Grubbins on Ice dlc. Without spoiling too much, the story has to do with fighting a dentist who becomes the overlord of the world in the future and you must fight him to get Halloween back. One of the best Quality of Life changes is that they added maps in the game to help with navigation of area's and to show where to heal on fountains. There are no maps in CS1, but this really makes the second game shine, with many other QOL changes too. There are even side quests, specific cards to find, and even a secret costume to find. All of this makes the second game better really than the first game, in this author's opinion. Anyways, here are my PROS and CONS list: PROS: - A direct story continuation from the first Costume Quest, which is also available on steam. - New costumes to fight enemies. - Quality of Life changes to make the game better from the first game. - Side quests and even a secret costume. - A good for children game about Halloween. - Works on windows 11 operating system. - Works with controllers. I used a Zen Pro switch controller. CONS: - The buttons shown on the game may not match newer controller button mapped out. - The cartoony graphics may not be liked by everyone. - Some of the achievements are hard to get and may requiring replaying the whole game to get them. Technically, this is my second time playing this game and i got the harder achievements this time. Do I recommend this game? Yes, I found this game very fun. The rpg mechanics and the story both shine in this direct sequel. Improvements in graphics, quality of life upgrades, and newer costumes made this game a fun time to play. This game is also perfect for young children. Many people have posted they want a third game in this series, but according to the developers, they have no interest at this time to make any new games in this IP. That is sad, as this was a enjoyable play, for me it was quite good. Again, make sure to play the original game first as the stories are connected to each other, and if you play this game right after that one, it will make more sense.

"Remember: Technology can be punched." Costume Quest 2 is a role-playing video game developed by Double Fine Productions and published by Midnight City. Story CQ 2 is a straight sequel to CQ 1 so I say playing first game is a must. Costume Quest 2 picks up where Grubbins on Ice DLC from first game left off. Continue the adventure of siblings Wren and Reynold, with chosen one turning into playable character, who jump through the mysterious portal and return to their home at Halloween night. Joy lasts short however, as local dentist Dr. White thanks to a time wizard goes back to the past, changing future into dental dystopia where Halloween is banned. Our siblings will have to go back and forth through time to save their holiday once again! Gameplay Costume Quest 2 offers same gameplay core as first title, as our little heroes complete quests and battle it out using their costumes when necessary. Explore areas in past and future to gather candy, do trick-or-treat and unlock costumes by gathering parts plus schematics, required to get into new areas. So you will either knock on doors, knock down everything not nailed shut to get extra pieces of candy, or knock down your enemies! Combat is still turn based, with parties taking turns in controlling their characters to perform an action. Goal should be obvious, reduce their healthbars to zero before they do so with yours. During your turn you can attack, run away if things get dicey, or use Treaty Cards, a system replacing Battle Stamps from first title- 3 special cards offering different bonuses, with roster of cards expanding as you make your way through a game. You can use them to deal some damage to enemies, give your party extra buffs, perhaps to reap better rewards once you come out victorious. Every card after use becomes unavailable for few combat turns, so you have to constantly shuffle through them if you use this mechanic often. When it is not your turn, you have to defend yourself from incoming attack to decrease damage received. Attacking and defending slowly allows you to build up your special, a unique for each costume move that can shift tides of the fight. Just like in first title, you have to hit specific timing to squeeze out the most out of your moves. Worth mentioning that as you make your way through Costume Quest 2, you will be able to unlock more moves used in combat by your party, helpful as enemies will be constantly getting tougher. After done combat you gather experience and candy. First- also collected from completed quests- allows you to level up, increasing health and damage your party deals. Latter is used as games currency, so visit local shady merchant to expand your Treaty Cards collection, buy maps of areas, or upgrade your costumes. Playtime and replayability Completing everything Costume Quest 2 had to offer took me 5 hours! It's short and sweet, but doesn't provide any reasoning behind another playthrough. Pros and cons Costume Quest 2, to stick with overall candy climate, offers sweeter filling in better looking wrapper than predecessor. Main improvement lies within combat, as new moves and treaty cards mechanic create extra depth it previously lacked, adding necessary elements to keep your interest, making combat more fun. Visually game looks slightly better while still keeping artstyle and Halloween's charm of first title. There is also solid humor with decent story in Costume Quest 2, especially sweet as you will only have to spend an evening (or two) to reach its conclusion! Perhaps only real issue is navigation, as game likes to play around with elevation changes that can confuse in a certain moment or two. Similar situation as first Costume Quest: it's short, sweet and with better combat, but nothing outstanding. Does what it should, which is making sure you spend few hours in an enjoyable way! And sometimes, that is all you need. Conclusion! Costume Quest 2 with solid story, humor and most of all improved combat is a good treat (not trick) worth checking out!

Not as good as the previous one, plot is solid but it has 5% the charm first game had. Not enough goofiness, plenty of turns to hate the new combat mechanics... they somehow managed to make it worse, enemies are just bullet sponges, changing battle stamps to creepy treats was a huge missteps, game would be 50% faster if the fights werent so damn long and boring. Still a good game, but after GOI DLC, this feel like a cheap sequel game.
