Date played: February 7th
Platform: PS4
Session fun rating: 8/10
Keep in mind, my daughter is 4 years old, loves Halloween, candy and video games. She also can't read and only speaks and understands French. This means that she loves Costume Quest 2, but I must translate all the text for her during story bits. It turns out, her reactions are fabulous. Before we got to any juicy story parts though, we explored the entire swamp area, knocked on many doors and eventually even played in a jazz band with the clown horn...
I picked up a new costume, the pterodactyl. This thing is awesome as it has a special that weakens enemies every turn. I also started fucking around with the different cards that can be used in combat. I like the system, though it takes a lot of time to equip new cards after each battle. Along the way, I met the dentist as a child, before he was evil. He wore dental braces and his evil mother forbid him to eat candy and dress in costumes...
In a hilarious sequence, we "fixed" a motor boat with an oar, then found the witches bog. That's where we found our friends and tried to warn them that the dentist would come steal the monster talisman. They brushed us off, but of course, the evil dental expert showed up right then with the Kronomancer, the weird dude that lets him travel in time.
This was the first boss battle, but it was pretty easy and straightforward. There were 3 phases, but nothing a few well timed attacks couldn't deal with. We then went back to the future (yeah!) where we were quickly apprehended by the dentist and his thugs. That's when my adult friends were captured and us kids were sent to "Tooth Academy".
Again, Double Fine's excellent writing team showed what they were capable of in a funny classroom scene on dental hygiene, Halloween and candy. There was a fart joke in there. When I translated it for my daughter, she burst out laughing for a solid 2 minutes.... We were sent to detention for our truthful answers in class. That's where we met our adult friend's daughter and made a run for it. We found our costumes and scored a new one, Thomas Jefferson. Using the power of words to fight, he slaps monsters around with a deadly pen. His special attack is the declaration of destruction. Yep.
We found some friends in the sewers after our escape and must now gather candy and perform deliveries in the futuristic neighborhood.
