This of KCD1 first?

[Arkainin]

Is this a direct continuation? Like do I need to play the first game to not feel like I've come in halfway through the story?

Yep. Play through KCD1 first, or watch a recap video.

Direct continuation with handholding to get you up to speed. Theres also plenty of youtube catchups.

Okay, thanks all. I enjoyed KD1 but stopped halfway through. Kind of don't want to go back to worse graphics and play since with my life it takes me months to get through long games now. Will do a let's play. tyty

I highly recommend playing the first part with all the extras. She's great, especially if you play with Czech voice acting. The second part is a direct continuation of the first. If you don't want to play the first part, you can watch a short history of the game on YouTube, but you'd better play it yourself.

Also, for full information on the second part, I recommend that you read this topic. In short, it is possible to add a woke culture in the game.
