My favourite game and the best RPG I've ever played (And I've played a lot of RPG's)

Interesting immersive story, a fun learning curve which feels rewarding the more you play, amazing graphics, great quests and many more! There's nothing I dislike about this game. It's a 10/10 for me.

I do not understand the complaints about the combat, it's meant to be hard at first for a reason. You're not a mary-sue saviour of the universe, you're the son of a blacksmith that never picked up a sword before. The more you train, fight etc throughout the game, the better you'll become at the combat. Don't go into the game thinking that combat will be a breeze because it ain't and if you want an easy game that could be played by a toddler then you should look elsewhere.
If you put the time and effort in the combat is incredibly fun and realistic and you can have some truly epic duels.

The save system can be frustrating sure but you can download a mod that lets you save at any point which literally takes like 2 minutes to install and solves that issue. I would also suggest a carry-weight mod because of the amount of loot there is to collect you'll defiantly need it.

I also really love how open the game is, every interior is open so you can go inside anywhere without sitting through a loading screen. It makes the world feel even more alive and immersive. I can never go back to a game like Skyrim again now because KCD without a doubt beats it in terms of being extremely immersive. It also makes stealth a lot more fun too, running from house to house in the pitch black looting and pillaging is so fun! I love how few loading screens this game has too, it really makes it a lot more fun. The map is also beautiful, like a work of art, the best in game map I've ever seen. Fast travel is also the best of any game imo because of the random encounters that can happen along the way to spice it up. Though if you can I'd say don't use fast travel and learn the map as best you can so that you can play Hardcore mode and have an easier time because Hardcore mode is even more immersive and fun.

This is one of the few games where having a voiced protagonist works extremely well, the dialogue is great and the voice acting is really great too. Henry is a very interesting character and it's very fun to play as him. There are a lot of great voice actors! Something else I like is how this is truly a realistic medieval RPG in that it doesn't have any magic, it stays true to the expectations of the time period with the weapon and armour varieties etc. The game can be a little Janky at times but honestly I think that makes it more fun, It wouldn't be the same without it.

Overall I love this game, and I'm incredibly hyped for KCD2 more so than I have been for any game since RDR2.
I will say again though, don't come into KCD thinking that you're gonna have an easy ride because you won't. You gotta put in the effort to train in combat and level up your skills before even considering taking on multiple opponents at once.
If you want a realistic medieval RPG which is extremely immersive and has beautiful graphics then you should definitely buy KCD. I'ts fully worth the full asking price. I've sunk hundreds of hours into this game and will be sinking in hundreds more!

Now stop reading this review, buy the game and support Warhorse studios! You'll have a blast.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is my new favourite game pushing Kingdom Come: Deliverance I into second place & I am very happy about that.

KCD2 is everything I wanted from a sequel to my #1 favourite game and more! it takes everything that was done in the first game and expands/improves upon every single aspect. The world is incredible, having two large maps to explore makes KCD1 feel small in comparison when in reality, it isn't. It's just that KCD2 has so much more to offer with two maps, greater exploration, more settlements, more quests, more encounters & so much more!

The graphics are stunning. The best I've ever seen. I'm playing at 1440p at maxed out settings and it really shows because the world is beautiful! I thought KCD1 looked incredible but KCD2 blows it out of the park.
The mechanics have all been improved upon plus new ones have been added like smithing, being able to forge your own weapons and maintain them yourself is so fun. The minigame itself is enjoyable and feels realistic.

The crime system is amazing and feels a lot more realistic now, instead of just going to jail you face a whole array of new punishments like getting put into the stocks or being branded. It makes being a criminal in the game that much more fun. I'ts also more challenging as the NPCs are a lot smarter than in the first game. If they see you acting shifty they check their chests to make sure nothing is stolen. If they find something has been stolen they report it to the guard and if they spotted you in the area you'll get reported. It's so good. You can't just sneak around out in the daylight as you will be reported for it if seen. It makes committing crimes harder but a lot more rewarding when you pull it off. Overall as someone who likes to play as a thief character I absolutely love the improvements to the crime and punishment aspects in the game.

The Combat has been changed to make it slightly easier which makes perfect sense as at that point in the story Henry had a lot of combat experience and would be more proficient. It is still however challenging and dynamic enough to still be just as fun if not more fun than the first game. I love the combat in KCD a lot, it feels realistic and provides a fun challenge.
What I really love about KCD 1 & 2 is that you're not a god at combat right off the bat, you have to train a LOT to get better just like real life. You cant just rush into a fight with 10 guys and come out on top, fighting more than one opponent at tghe same time can be very difficult just like it would be in real life. At first you suck at it but the more you play the better you get at it and it is so rewarding once you get really good and can start taking on higher tier enemies and multiple at once.

The side quests in KCD2 are better than KCD1 too and there is a lot more of them. It took me 40 hours to progress the main story after the prologue becuase I got so caught up in completing so many fun side quests. The main story so far has also been engaging and exciting just like the first game. I've only just got to the second map after 70 hours of game time.
This game has so much to offer if you enjoy doing lots of quests.

There are only two minor things about KCD2 that I personally dislike.
1. I really don't like that your equipment gets routinely unequipped right after certain cut-scenes. It's really annoying having to go through all my loot and find exactly what I was wearing again.
2. I personally feel like some of the dialogue sequences are drawn out way too long, don't get me wrong the dialogue in this game is fantastic however some scenes feel like they are really drawn out longer than they have to be with filler which has no relevance to anything. I find myself skipping dialogue which I really don't want to do but sometimes I feel like I have to just to get the pace up so I can keep playing.

Honorable mention: I wish the game let you save whenever you want instead of having to use the Saviour Schnapps. I personally really hate when RPG games try to force you to play a certain way rather than being able to play however you like. I just like the ability to save anywhere at anytime.
Luckily this can be easily fixed with mods. A save mod was out on day 1 so it's never been an issue I just would like the option to be in the game from the get-go for people who don't like having to micromanage when they save the game. Again though, this isn't an issue with the game at all as for people who want this you can easily get it with mods.

Other than those 3 things, there is nothing about this game that I don't like. It's a perfect sequel for an already perfect game. For me KCD1 is a 10/10 game so KCD2 HAS to be 12/10 for the amount of improvements and additions that it adds to the experience. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II has now become my new #1 favourite game and #1 favourite RPG. For me it's the perfect game. It has everything I want out of and RPG and more. It feels so real that I feel like I'm actually there. It's the most immersive a game can be without being full virtual reality.

I would HIGHLY recommend this game if you enjoy realistic RPG's with world that feels like real life. I don't care what other games come out this year Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is the game of the year, end of story. For me though, it's game of the decade.
