After washing up on a desert island alongside a mysterious boy with no memory, the player's character begins a journey that takes them to nearby islands to make new friends and help them achieve their goals, from building a sustainable farm to creating an entire village.

Players take on the role of a builder - someone who has a knack for harvesting resources, refining them, and putting them together in novel ways - in a time when such people are outlawed by a villainous cult that would rather destroy than create.

While the PS4 and Nintendo Switch versions offer downloadable content for purchase separately, the Xbox and Windows versions include this content in the purchase of the game. Players also get to exercise their imagination and be creative as they freely build not just what other characters have requested, but anything they like by crafting the elements they need and assembling them according to their whims. Strong themes of friendship, community, and providing help to those who need it run through the story, with subplots showing how people - including villains - can change for the better if they embrace the right ideas. Combat is mild and is viewed from a raised perspective, with monsters disappearing quickly after being defeated. The player's customizable avatar takes on quests - such as building a house or sowing a field with seeds - from non-player characters, and then goes out into the world to gather resources and fight monsters using magic and melee weapons. The game is a sequel to 2016's Dragon Quest Builders, and it has a focus on building wrapped within an old-fashioned Japanese role-playing game. Parents need to know that Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a creative building experience for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows PCs.
