The premise, in the publisher's words
Costume Quest 2 is a charming Halloween-themed role-playing game and the sequel to Costume Quest. Players choose to control one of the twin siblings, Wren or Reynold, as they and their friends are swept into a time-travel adventure to save the holiday itself. Their nemesis is Dr. Orel White, a sinister dentist scheming to wipe Halloween from history and rule over a candy-free dental dystopia. Journeying between the past and a bleak future, the costumed kids trick-or-treat, gather new outfits, and transform into towering versions of their disguises to battle monsters and thwart the dentist's plans.

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 1.8 GHz dual core CPU, 4 GB RAM and 256 MB GeForce 8800, Radeon 3850, or Intel HD 3000 Graphics. At 4GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 1GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Costume Quest 2 launched on 7 October 2014, within three weeks of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, Alien: Isolation, Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition and Bayonetta 2. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 1 year into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, Alien: Isolation, Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition, Bayonetta 2.
