    Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Review

    It's almost hard to believe that it's been over a decade since the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance successfully underwent a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. In a world where Skyrim was only a few years old, Dragon Age Inquisition was about to release, and marketing for the upcoming The Witcher III: Wild Hunt was in full swing, Warhorse Studios was promising something a little different. A 'realistic' open-world RPG in medieval Europe, with "dungeons and no dragons". The game didn't really have 'dungeons' either, to be fair.

    I reviewed the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance when it was released in 2018, 4 years after the conclusion of the Kickstarter campaign. I found a lot to like in the game's quest design, cinematic direction, and widespread role-playing numerical abstraction to the game's many mechanics. However, it faltered a fair bit in its storyline, balance, and incredibly frustrating technical problems. In fact, I may suggest reading that original review in addition to this one, as much of the design philosophy has maintained itself between franchise entries. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is essentially Warhorse's chance to take a promising-yet-flawed start and capitalize on its potential. It's a more fully-realized glow-up, for sure.

    [...]

    Despite the noise, I think Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a remarkable RPG that offers a role-playing style not often seen. It does everything that a sequel should do, polishing up the rough edges of the original game and improving the scope while making smart adjustments to the gameplay. Combining dense RPG systems with immersive style and immersive cinematic aptitude, it's a strong showing for Warhorse.

    Score: 8/10
