Costume Quest 2 is a good sequel to the original game but in all honesty, a good stand alone title as well. I had originally played this before the first game back on the PS4, but this time around on Xbox I played the series in order.

There are a good amount of improvements to the last game with the ability to use abilities as cards in combat and have more variety in your fighting style, but the target timing button press isn't as fun as the combat in the first game.

New costumes and a new story are always good but the environments felts too similar and I found that the first title was better imo. Fighting a dentist who rules the world in the future vs the previous game's monsters and magic are different, but the later was a cooler concept.

I'd love to see a third game for modern systems with more costumes and another story, but I'm unsure of what they could do these days.
