This Game Is a Complete Disaster - My Review

[cypher]

I wanted to love Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. I really did. The first game, despite its jank, had charm, heart, and a level of realism that made it stand out in an industry obsessed with hand-holding and power fantasies. But somehow, against all odds, Warhorse Studios managed to take everything that made the first game great… and absolutely butcher it.

Let’s start with the most glaring issue: the combat. Remember how KCD1 had a unique but flawed melee system that, at its best, made every fight feel like a tense, brutal duel? Well, throw all that in the trash, because KCD2 decided that fluidity and responsiveness were optional. The combat now feels like you're controlling a drunk toddler wearing medieval plate armor. The directional attacks are still clunky, the animations look janky as hell, and enemies are somehow even dumber than before. Instead of improving the AI, Warhorse gave us opponents that either stand around waiting to die or break the laws of physics to parry every attack with superhuman reflexes. Fantastic.

And let’s talk about the story. You’d think after KCD1’s cliffhanger ending, they’d give us a gripping continuation of Henry’s journey. Nope. Instead, we get a half-baked, uninspired plot that drags on for hours, filled with pointless fetch quests, awkward dialogue, and characters so wooden you’d think they were carved straight from Bohemian forests. Henry still acts like a clueless peasant half the time, and the choices you make barely seem to matter.

Then there’s the “improved” RPG mechanics. Guess what? They took the skill progression system, which was one of the first game’s most beloved aspects, and made it worse. Leveling feels slower, perks are somehow even more useless, and instead of meaningful progression, you’re forced into repetitive grinding just to feel competent. Oh, and good luck with the economy—because once again, Henry turns into a medieval Jeff Bezos within a few hours of looting bandits.

But perhaps the biggest insult is the game’s performance. Did Warhorse learn from the first game’s technical struggles? Absolutely not. KCD2 is a buggy, stuttering mess. Expect crashes, broken quests, and physics glitches that will send your horse flying into the stratosphere at random. And let’s not even start on the horrendous NPC pathfinding, where villagers will casually phase through doors or stand in place like medieval mannequins. Immersion-breaking doesn’t even begin to describe it.

In short, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is an unpolished, frustrating slog that squanders all of its potential. Warhorse had YEARS to improve on their formula, and instead, they delivered a game that somehow feels less enjoyable than its predecessor. If you’re expecting a deep, immersive medieval RPG, prepare for disappointment—because this is just a broken mess wrapped in nostalgia bait.

Cliff hanger ending moves to "3 days later" and the this isn't the continuation of Henry's story?

The lack of any kind of self-awareness in some of these posts is embarrassing.
Might want to actually try the game OP so your words sound plausible.

Even if you are right in most what are you saying... for me this game is better than KCD1 and the best game i play since Red Dead Redemption 2.
Most annoying thing is the combat simplification... but it are not pollished as well in CKD1 where in some point you can beat annyone just pressing one botton.

Is it not a sign of vanity to write a review on a forum when there is a reviews section available?

Hmm so according to your profile you Played 80+ minutes of KCD 1 and you proceeded to write a wall of text comparing the 2 games hmm. Well maybe you played on console both 1 and 2 so I cant call you out for making stuff up. Lastly you criticized the games performance when so far "alot" of players are saying the optimization is great so maybe its just your janky Pc's problem.... hmm good job playing it safe and going for the low hanging fruit I guess.

It's not vanity. It's classic troll syndrome. You see we call them Trolls because trolls are known to live under bridges, they're ugly, smelly, loud, violent and don't make contact with many people.

What it is, is they can't get anyone to talk to them normally, everyone ignores them under their bridge while they sit and brood.

Then they hear the merry cheering, music and dance and have to come try to break up the party because it hurts their soul that others can be happy and they can't.

So they simultaneously want to destroy the fun and happiness, while it's also the only way anyone will talk to or respond to them, if they attack something they like or care about.

This person, can't be vain, trolls don't suffer from vanity, it's much, much worse than that.

It's the opposite, they hate themselves, and they want others to hate themselves as well, they want the whole world feeling the way they do.

Reported for a trash review. You're wasting people's time by reporting an unoptimized game and what you're playing on is likely a 15 year old PC to make your review factually correct. Get off of steam.
