Kingdom Come: Deliverance II - PlayStation 5

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is an absolute masterpiece. As a casual gamer, I found myself completely immersed, clocking around 150 hours to finish all the main and side quests. The game’s dedication to realism is unlike anything I’ve played before—whether it’s the combat, dialogue, or world-building, everything feels grounded and intentional.What really stood out to me was how that realism extended beyond just combat or visuals—it captured the real struggles people faced during that time period. Whether it was being sent to the pillory for a crime or starving due to a lack of food, the game doesn’t hold back. Without going into spoilers, it truly makes you feel like you’re living in that world.Combat can feel clunky and frustrating at times, but it’s refreshingly different from the usual hack-and-slash. Every fight demands strategy and patience, forcing you to think tactically rather than button-mash your way through. That level of depth is rare and rewarding.There’s a staggering amount of content to explore, and it took me a while to fully grasp just how real and layered this game is. While bugs do pop up and can be frustrating, they don’t ruin the experience. If you’re looking for a medieval RPG that values immersion and authenticity over flash, KCD2 is a must-play.

Bandits killed me twice the beginning of the game. That wasn't a problem any longer after I got better equipment. Mutt is a great helper but he needs his rest. I do wish equipment would last longer without needing repairs. There are so many things I could say about KCD2 but don't want to spoil it.

Compared to the recycled slop that is the mainstream AAA games put out by the big studios these days, this really stands out. Highly recommend KCD2.

When I started this game I was frustrated especially with the combat system, u will need a lot of patience with the combat system and even the menu. After a while I was just grabbed by the story! U will learn as u go, maybe some YouTube how to’s along the way. But this game continues to win me over on the details like eating and sleeping because everything matters in the game. I say give it a chance and be patient!

one of the few games I will be playing over and over forever

One of the most ridiculous games I have ever played. The first 6 hours or so of my play time were mostly filled with passively watching cutscenes, with an occasional entry of a dialog choice by me. The "tasks" in this time consisted of finding a path in the dark, lugging sacks of flour from a wagon to a pantry, and avoiding any physical conflicts. The avoidance of conflicts is necessary because the tutorial descriptions of blocking and hitting back make no sense at all; additionally my character has so little stamima that he can barely manage 2 blows that have little effect, but gets killed by two blows from an adversary. The story is ultra boring-- I fell asleep several times while playing, and baked a loaf of bread while awake as the cutscenes went on and on. If you are having trouble getting to sleep, this is the game for you.

I purchased this game to get my fix for a plot driven open world RPG, and have not played the original game. Warning, do not go into this expecting a new version of Skyrim as all of the mechanics (combat, potion making, lockpicking, etc.) have a pretty steep learning curve. Truth be told, this is a difficult game, but once you get the hang of it, it is very fun. Honestly, I almost gave up on the game, before everything began to click.How about the plot? So far it is quite intriguing, you start off with practically nothing and have to be build yourself up. The main character, Henry, is a good character to play as and he is a very malleable to different play styles. All the NPCs also seem to be intriguing as well.In closing I would definitely recommend this to someone who is willing to put some work into it.

I really wanted to like the first game, but I could never get over the frustrating "Eurojank" and ended up quitting in frustration. Therefore, I was very cautious about purchasing the sequel. The glowing reviews and incredibly positive word of mouth caused me to throw caution to the wind. Boy am I glad I did!!! The game is so much fun! It can be difficult to start, but once you figure out the mechanics a world of adventure awaits for you to discover! I HIGHLY recommend to any RPG fan!
