Fantastic Work Warhorse!

KCD2 is straight-up incredible! The world feels so real.

The detail blows my mind, from the combat to NPCs living their lives like I’m not even there. It’s immersive and reminds me of the classic CRPGs and Immersive sims of old (classic Deus Ex fan here.)

The story’sgritty, emotional, and full of tough choices that actually matter, compare this to the likes of Starfield and it really shows Bethesda up.

The RPG mechanics are deep but not too much, and nailing a perfect strike in combat feels good overall.

Great achievement and the devs should be rightfully proud!

I agree, it's a superb game, as was KCD1

Never played the original if I'm being honest but KCD2 feels quite refined.

I know there are complaints about the game being like movie, but I think I like that. I just wanted to be entertained. I don't care if I'm pressing buttons or watching a long cut scene.

I tried to play KCD1, but it's a little hard to get into it after playing KCD2 first. I think I'll eventually get into it. I just have to reset my expectations on an older game. I always have that problem when I do something like that.

I am looking forward to more from Warhorse, whatever it might be.

You can get KCD1 very cheaply now and I highly recommend it.

KCD1 is better in every aspect, exept for graphics.

Honestly, I cannot recommend KCD1 highly enough.

Probably best not to play the two games at the same time because there are some differences in the mechanics that might lead to confusion, but if you love KCD2, I urge you to play it afterwards.

I really think it has stood the test of time, when you get immersed in it you will forget that it's an 'old' game, it's absolutely beautiful.

Make sure to get all the DLC, it's a bit variable but all worth having and I imagine it's cheap as chips nowadays.

You will get so much backstory for KCD2, when your done with KCD1 you will probably want to play KCD2 again.

I remember when I first started playing as Theresa in 'A woman's lot', I didn't like it and went back to an earlier save to be Henry again- but I went back to it and in the end really enjoyed it, gave me a lot more respect for, and understanding of her and again, lot's of backstory.

I have also never been so emotionally involved and affected by anything in a game like I was by 'The Madonna of Sassau' quest line.

I don't want to give spoilers but the first time I played this, I had a 'suboptimal' outcome and my Henry walked to the bridge and just stood, in shock, staring into the distance.

At that moment, I WAS Henry, almost in tears. I had worked so hard and failed and wanted to kill and destroy everything in that town.

After about 10 minutes of real time I carried on but my heart was broken.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am inspired to play it. I did play a bit of it before KCD2 came out. I didn't get too far. But I did play the Teresa DLC because I didn't understand what I was locking myself into by talking to her after the intro. LOL. I managed to get through it. I enjoyed it. I want to know more about the events that lead up to the 2nd game. And I know I will get around to it.

Lol - you cannot recommend the best ever produced game? Gameplay is more immersive, the story is so deep and fulfilled with metaphors, that arthouse movies may envy.

OP - I guarantee you should try it. If you're experienced with good media - like classic literature - you would be pleased as possible. Obviously, if you're more like a Marvel movies fan - you would hate it but suum cuique.

I understand that English is not your first language so you have misunderstood me.

"I cannot recommend xyz highly enough" means that no matter how highly I recommended it, it would not be enough.

So that means that I recommend it very highly indeed, which I think is clear from the rest of my post.

Sorry, a little misunderstanding) But it's not because of the language barrier, but because some pear's cider, my wife has brought to celebrate, sorry for my drunk remissness.
