Kingdom Come: Deliverance II

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is everything you could wish for from an action RPG, with a heavy focus on systems that lean in to support the way you want to play. Not only is Kingdom Come: Deliverance II a brilliant sequel, but it’s a genre-defining game that pushes an otherwise stagnant genre forward for the first time in a decade.

Warhorse Studios have created a triumphant sequel that improves and expands on the classic original in every way. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a game of staggering scope, depth and complexity, allowing you to be a smooth-talking diplomat, a cunning craftsman, a sneaky cutthroat, a chivalrous knight in shining armour, or any combination of the above. Whatever aspects of gaming you enjoy, there’s something for you here, and I can confidently say that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a medieval masterpiece.

This isn’t an RPG for everyone. It’s fairly hardcore, it leans into history (albeit out of order) and it is mechanically very dense. What matters most, and after playing a hundred hours of this damn thing and planning on diving back in, is that it’s an RPG for me.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 tweaks all the right rough edges of its predecessor without losing any of its character. The result is a fantastic role-playing game in which you can lose yourself for hours.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 isn't a game that should attract every kind of player, but even though you might have avoided the first part for whatever reason, you definitely should give the sequel a chance. It is a much more spectacular, bigger in every way mega-game that stands out from its peers.

Despite the noise, I think Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a remarkable RPG that offers a role-playing style not often seen. It does everything that a sequel should do, polishing up the rough edges of the original game and improving the scope while making smart adjustments to the gameplay. Combining dense RPG systems with immersive style and immersive cinematic aptitude, it's a strong showing for Warhorse.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a game that unabashedly demands you meet it on its level, which I do find somewhat admirable. I just constantly found it to be a miserable slog to engage with, where everything was ten times more overblown than it had any business being. There’s a fascinating sandbox deep down within it, but digging through the mountain of muck to appreciate it was simply more than I could stand most of the time.

I really love this game. The story is masterpiece and the bohemian vibe from this game is so beautiful

Really fun game. Until you get stuck targeting a single enemy while the others just casually stroll behind you and stab you in the back because the game doesn't want to let you change who you FORCIBLY lock on to. wtf is wrong with combat.*. And what's up with staring at the sky and **** during combat and the **** horse controls. Can’t hit enemies in some of their animations which causes you to just do nothing and actually delay the next 5 seconds of inputs is terrible. Don't think a game is supposed to make you wish you were there to do a better job. Luckily, the game has some fun humor and the storyline and romance options are actually interesting.

While KCD2 is nowhere near as good as the first. Warhorse somehow managed to regress. This means more jank and more difficulty unfortunately. The problem is, the game is so slow to start, you probably won't be interested enough to get immersed like the first one. Also there are still tons of bugs. I'm kind of disappointed with this so far. Not to mention it's incredibly censored compared to the first
