Dragon Quest Builders 2 might finally get me into block building games

As my weekend at PAX continues, I dropped by the Square Enix booth to check out Dragon Quest Builders 2. The sequel to the crafting/action game set within the world of Dragon Quest.  

The demo I played showed off the game's first 20 minutes. The Children of Hargon have banned all building within the world. As an apprentice builder, you're being held captive on a ship run by these monsters. Thankfully, they don't seem to consider you much of a threat and force you to perform simple chores on the ship's deck, which helps you acquire some building skills.
