Then again, that did not stop me from naming the original "Sleeping Dogs" as one of my top games of 2014.

*Review based on PS4 version of "Costume Quest 2."īeing more of a lover than a fighter, I absolutely abhor violence. If you enjoyed the original or love classic JRPGs, you'll want to take a bite out of this one. Still, funny dialogue, charming characters, a solid RPG mechanic and things to do on the side make Costume Quest 2 a good game. The general RPG grindiness also can feel repetitive after some time. Although the prompts add an extra layer of interactivity to the game, they can be tiring after extended play.

Special moves are also timing-based and vary from damage to healing. Timing moves to match a screen prompt play a big role in the game, allowing you to dish out stronger attacks or reduce damage. The regular costumes, meanwhile, have varying skills depending on the type, which include a superhero, pterodactyl and the kind of clown Joe Pesci was talking about in Goodfellas. It'll make you laugh, even as you curse its uselessness in the face of battle. The much maligned candy corn remains a hoot as it pretty much just stands there doing nothing while providing excellent battle commentary. Costumes also remain a source of power, allowing you to transform into either powerful warriors or, uh, an overgrown piece of candy corn. Like the first game, Costume Quest 2 uses a turn-based system that's similar to the one employed by classic Japanese RPGs. I have got to make sure I tell this story to my dentist. This time, a candy-hating dentist manages to alter time and get Halloween costumes banned. Once again, you play as cheeky siblings Reynold and Wren as they unravel yet another Halloween mystery that involves the future. I'll also admit that as cool as my ninja costume was, it doesn't lay a candle in the wind to the costumes used by the kids in "Costume Quest 2." The followup up to Double Fine Production's adorable game from 2010, Costume Quest 2 retains a lot of the charm of the original.
