Costume Quest

Costume Quest is a pretty fun Halloween game. I'm not gonna lie though, it can be kinda generic with the story at first. But for what it is, the game can have a nice setting considering it's about Halloween and there will be kids going trick or treating. It also can have some solid graphics. And the gameplay would have to be the best part. It's where you get to go to an available house and trick or treat there. And whenever you encounter monsters, you would battle in role-playing style. And the special attacks you would get are very unique. After I played the actual game, I have played a DLC that follows up called Grubbins On Ice. And I will admit, the story in it is just a rescue mission. But it can be fun exploring the world of the monsters. In terms of my recommendation, this is a good choice for Halloween time. But mostly for kids to play before they go out and trick or treat in their neighborhood. It may be far from better, but at least it was a very solid game for Halloween.

Costume Quest is a game that is aimed at a younger audience. I have this game on Epic Games, and I tried it out so that I could watch its animated show on Prime Video. And after trying it for half an hour I became addiced to it.

The game is very creative and colourful. I have completed the main quest using Reynold and as of when this review is written, I'm trying out the Grubbins on Ice DLC. And having done that I can now finally review it. The game is in the form of a JRPG, where the player gets to wear a costume that has been made from the materials that they have collected. Each costume has their own way of performing basic attacks and does different things on special attacks.

The things I didn't like about the game is that it has a very slow and confusing start. In the beginning I didn't even know what I was supposed to do because of how many things were going on around me. I didn't know the tasks that were being spoken were supposed to be fulfilled in a specific order. I was trying to perform one task without knowing I couldn't do it (the teacher one, in case you're wondering). Then Big Bones also made a sudden appearance instead of gradually explaining who or what he is.

Other than that Costume Quest is a must play for family audience or for households where there are small children. In spite of being more than 10 years old at the time of writing this, it's still holds up against today's games.
