Kingdom Come: Deliverance II

Official Game Reveal

52 hours playing the first one tells me I will be putting some time in here too.

I put in a number of hours on the first one as well then ran into a boss fight I just couldn't win . Hopefully they stay away from those but otherwise I'm excited about this.

I did all right once I got some levels. And realized that I sucked at the sword-play and was never going to pull off any of the combos. Instead, I'd just put up my guard, block until they were winded, and then mow them down. That was pretty satisfying in it's own way.

I loved how satisfying the first game was, and I was impressed with how open-ended it was, which could sometimes lead to bugs. It was difficult to get into at first, but once I got into the swing of things (hah), it was definitely an engrossing and immersive experience. One thing I never got used to though was the lockpicking, even on the easy lockpicking mode, as it was much harder than it needed to be.

I really liked the first game as well. Hopefully this one is more of the same but with more polish.

I don't know about the polish, the devs are from the czech republic

20 hours in, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a mad, systems-driven sandbox that captures some of the best parts of games like Stalker

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is an engine that spits out chaos and regret, but don't worry, I mean that as some of the highest praise I can offer a game. We're talking all sorts of consequences for my horrible, horrible decisions and Stalker-with-swords levels of weird, systems-driven mayhem.

I've rumbled with Cumans because I chose the wrong outfit; had my painstaking plans of attack disrupted by roving NPC caravans; gotten embroiled in fights that turned into grand, violent katamaris as more and more people joined in to help or hinder me; and lamented my lack of save-game potions more times than I can count. It's tremendous fun, with all sorts of bizarre variables feeding into the emergent adventures I get into. With about 20 hours in the game so far, I've barely made a dent in the main quest, so preoccupied have I been with poking at the world and seeing what reactions it spits back.
