- Costume Quest 2 has a lot to like, especially with its fun gameplay and witty, clever story. It isn’t a particularly long title, but the five hours I spent with it was a blast. Some framerate troubles persist here and there, and the trick-or-treat aspect can get redundant after a while, but the faults I had with the game are minimal compared to the overall experience. It’s definitely a game that is not only a treat, but won’t rot out your teeth after finishing it.
Bryan Rose · Nov 14, 2014 Reviewed on Wii URead full review - Costume Quest 2 on consoles is not a bad game by any means, but it failed to keep me interested during most of its short duration. I wanted to laugh more and I wanted navigating these charming environments to not feel like such a chore, but most importantly I wanted to have more fun than I did.
Ken McKown · Nov 06, 2014 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Costume Quest 2 isn’t the deepest RPG, or the hardest, or the longest. It’s a quick trip to a time when Halloween was king, and you can probably complete all of its quests in the time it takes to watch three or four scary movies. It’s also thoroughly enjoyable, bursting with adorable charm, and overall a great game. Halloween may be over, but you should take the chance to go trick-or-treating once again with Costume Quest 2.
Sarah LeBoeuf · Nov 06, 2014 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - I love this game, and recommend it to everyone. I really can’t think of a reason why someone wouldn’t like this game, unless you don’t enjoy laughing and playing video games. Double Fine created a perfectly balanced, colorful game about Halloween that will make players of many ages laugh and enjoy themselves. So go ahead, put on your candy corn costume and hop into the mind of Tim Schafer in yet another impressive Double Fine game called Costume Quest 2.
Dyani Wood · Nov 02, 2014 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - 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. Sure, the gameplay doesn’t exactly elevate a well-established genre, but it’s strong enough to suck you into the game’s light, carefree fiction, and that happens to be enough.
Graham Banas · Nov 01, 2014 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Costume Quest 2, like the first game, is almost split in half. Part of the time you’re navigating isometric environments, talking to locals, picking up candy, and solving puzzles. The other, larger portion of the game is turn-based combat where you can swap out costumes like classes and precise timing is rewarded.
Brandon Jones · Oct 31, 2014 Reviewed on PC, PS4, XB1, PS3, X360, Wii U - Costume Quest 2 is still a charming game. The writing, look and over all feel of the game had me constantly coming back, even when the combat and health mechanics dragged the game down a bit. Seeing all the new costumes and areas/time periods made me want to keep playing, and while the RPG elements are simplistic, there’s enough here for the casual RPG player.
Drew Leachman · Oct 16, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full review - And yet, every time I had the chance to step away from Costume Quest 2, I didn't. I kept playing. Battles became tedious, but it was always worth it to see a pterodactyl put on goggles and drop egg bombs like a prehistoric B52. ...Collecting costume pieces could be a pain, but watching them in action was always a treat. Costume Quest 2 is a lot like the bags of candy Wren and her fellow Halloween heroes collect: often sweet, sometimes sour, and worth the occasional tummy ache.
S. Prell · Oct 14, 2014 Reviewed on PC - Costume Quest starts fast and knows how to end on a high note that leaves you wanting to explore the world just a little bit longer. It'd be easy for a simplistic, family-friendly game like this to feel like a cash-in on what worked before; after all, this is developer Double Fine's first sequel. But Costume Quest 2 retains the child-like irreverence and genuine heart that make it a game worth becoming something like your favorite Halloween movie: an experience to revisit every holiday.
Justin Haywald · Oct 13, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full review - The story is presented in text bubbles rather than voiced performances, and is kid-friendly with occasional references for adults. It's also downright silly and charming, even for a creaky old kid like me. ...Adorable, amusing, colorful and well-animated, but the combat is too simplistic and repetitive to remain interesting throughout the game.
