This was my second favorite game of all time. However I am now boycotting this studio. Warhorse Studios has made the inhumane decision to layoff their human translators and replace them with AI translators. Its wrong and unjust. Its also unethical. Time and again AI has shown its harmful flaws or its intentionally harmful design. This is also wildly disrespectful of the languages that are being translated and the …

I don't know what kind of dark arts / black magic the dev used for this game, but they somehow, God-only-knows, created a 2025 game that can be run properly on an ancient 2015 potato laptop.

Claire Obscure Expedition 33 made me love the french, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 made me hate the french again. It is criminal how KCD2 did not win any awards at the game awards. I have played several RPG games, but none have reached this level of quality. KCD1 was great but KCD2 is the definiton of a perfect sequel. I very much enjoyed playing both games but KCD2 takes the cake for me, it changed everything I did …

Insanely detailed open-world and NPC system, with immersion like no other. The world feels more 'Alive' than any other RPG before it. Its only downside is the extremely tedious save-system, that can cause you to lose hours of precious progress. You can fix this by: 1. Going in to Properties --> Launch Options 2. Type in ' -devmode ' 3. When in game, enter ' wh_sys_NoSavePotion = 1 ' in the dev console This should …

It sadly is too niche to win, but definitely deserves game of the year. The first game was one of the most underrated RPG's of all time, and this game is a great sequel, as it's better than the first game in most ways as well as being a direct sequel! It is extremely difficult to put down. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3591266329 …

AUDENTES FORTUNA IUVAT!!!!! It's like if you took an Elder Scrolls game, removed all the magic or fantastical elements, and replaced them with realism and historical accuracy. My wife’s boyfriend says it’s like if Project Zomboid was a medieval FPS. KCDII makes every Bethesda game look like a child’s crayon drawing. It is better in every objective measure…

I bought this game specifically for that reason, and it was pretty much all I played on my Steam Deck, while I was recovering. One of my favourite games, that will forever hold a special place in my mended heart.

First of all it is very immersive nobody can take that away from it, and I can feel a great game trying so hard to come out but it just isn't there for me unfortunately. As I say the game is immersive, but most of the time it feels like you are doing chores, many of the features are fun and novel but become very tiresome when done repeatedly. For example the alchemy is incredibly cool but there is no reason to make the player do…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There are so many things I love about this game, but many other reviewers have already gone into great depth about its many amazing qualities, so I'm not going to repeat them much here. Instead I am going to address some criticisms I see (and sometimes agree with), but also address why those criticisms shouldn't prevent you from playing this great game. One criticism I see and that I agree with is that the requirement of brewing potions in order to save your game outside of save points can be…

Their favourite chuddy game director just confirmed there is a gay scene in the next Kingdom Come game. Suddenly, they don't seem to care about historical accuracy all that much :'D
neutral · AI labelView post →The best - and probably the only - medieval immersive-sim-ish RPG out there. Outstanding visuals, a great sense of progression, and interesting quests. Absolutely a must-play and my clear GOTY 2025.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do you ever wish you could forget the whole game, just to experience its beauty and significance again for the first time? That is what I feel with this game. I would recommend this game to everyone who enjoys RPGs that are based on medieval (Bohemian) times with a hint of a challenge when it comes to combat. One of the best games I have ever played.

Person doing market research, perhaps for a company like Ubisoft, reading these reviews trying to figure out why this game is so successful - let me lay it down flat: - buy game, start game, game works, game is fun - main menu has a thank you for buying notice, not trying to sell us more ♥♥♥♥ - Developers are passionate about quality and what makes a game fun - Singleplayer game, not trying to branch out with any "game as a service" nonsense - modified crytek engine, UE5 pales in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No game ever came close to convey the experience of life in medieval times as well as this game. It is a masterpiece and I envy those who are about to play it for the first time. If you're about to start this game, enjoy the ride. It is absolutely worth the money.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is my game of the year for 2025. I have played the original game and have also really enjoyed it, so this is not the first time that I’m exploring Medieval Europe as Henry of Skalitz. Since first playing KC:D II on the day, it was released on February 4th, 2025, I have been playing it all year. The 145+ hours that I played it was on just one playthrough, so you know this game has a lot of content. This game features a beautiful large open world to explore with…

neutral · AI labelView post →ABSOULTE CINEMA This game scratched my itch of playing the Witcher 4. The quest design is as amazing as the Witcher 3 quests. The studio has put so much love into making this game. When i finished this game something died in me because its a long game and playing it had become a part of my daily routine. Now awaiting the Lord of the Rings and KCD3, they are going to be god tier if the studio continues putting such efforts https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3702681639…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This opinion is going to be in the minority but there are a lot of things to dislike about this game, some minor and some more prominent. The combat is clunky, especially when you're fighting multiple enemies and cant easily change targets. Its just a game of blocking and countering repeatedly for 10 minutes. The save system is very strange, you either save at designated rest points or you need to have potions for it, even though you can get around it with the save and quit option so that seems…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 - new game, same headache on my side. I can't master the fighting system, I can't, that's it.
negative · AI labelView post →KCD and KCD2 are proving that you dont need Fantasy, Magic and Mythology to create an exciting, entertaining and action loaded RPG. War Horse managed it again for me to be invested into the characters and to get soaked into the World of Bohemia. Truly a worthy sucessor to the first game and thats how every Studio should treat a sequel. For me this is the Game of the Year 2025.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm going to get my value out of this game, but there have been some things which are quite irksome which overall give the sense of the game being an unfinished product, and at times a nuisance to play. There are many aspects about this game I really like, but at this stage I honestly don't get the hype. - Quite a misleading trailer: this feels like a medieval simulator more than an adventure-rpg I was expecting. This is done for realism according to the internet, but the following points…

Now I'm even worse: I'm a gambling addict, I still lockpick every chest in Bohemia, I robbed everyone in Trosky castle, I got drunk with Cumans*, I told some random dude that I was the Dark Lord, I spent hours trying to save a single sheep, I licked things... and I'm not even halfway through the first map lol. *As a native Hungarian the Cuman quest is just peak 10/10. And Hans is the best bro.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After having played the first Kingdom Come: Deliverance, my expectations were high for the second iteration. My expectations were not met, they were shattered. The sheer amount of stuff to do, the gorgeous landscape and the detail that went into creating this medieval masterpiece are just incredible. It improved on about everything from the first game, and it feels like a labour of love. Keep in mind, I am playing hardcore mode, which means - amongst other things - no compass, no map marker…

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: "You smell like a sewer, you don't know how to read, and the local baker won't sell you bread until you take a bath." I didn't think it was possible to make a game where getting aggressively rejected by a bathhouse wench feels like a core gameplay mechanic, but Warhorse Studios pulled it off again. I spent three real-life…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best, and longest, single player experiences I've had (and I will never play it again). Warhorse took KCD and cranked everything up for its sequel although I found it much more accessible and easier than the original game. Personally I've always found grounded/historical settings a bit bland or think they have a low ceiling for creative liberties, but somehow they've smashed it out of the park twice. Writing is witty, cheeky, heartfelt - every quest has its own charm where you can't…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even after 270 hours, I’ve deliberately avoided starting the second and third DLCs. Not out of weariness, but because I’m not ready to say goodbye. To leave this world feels like closing a book you never want to end, and every untouched quest feels like a promise of more stories to live. KCD2 is one of the most complete and profound role-playing masterpiece I have experienced in recent years. Wrapped in its hardcore mechanics lies a passionate humanistic core, and through its unparalleled…

KCD has taken the next leap forward, and is already influencing other RPGs to come. Not a lot of games can say that. If nothing else, just riding around the countryside is some of the most beautiful and peaceful gameplay there is - well, at least until you get your ass handed to you by a group of bandits before you've leveled up. This isn't super-easy…
