• Recommended Posted October 4, 2025 on Steam i really dont wanna finish this game bec i know the moment I do, i will start looking for a game like this to fill the gap and will fail terribly.
• Recommended Posted August 9, 2025 on Steam I thought the first game taught me everything about medieval life. I was wrong. Kingdom Come 2 has now taught me that I'm not just bad at sword fighting - I'm also terrible at 15th-century social interactions, economic management, and apparently basic human functions like eating food without dying. Henry may be getting older, but I'm still playing him like a concussed medieval toddler with commitment issues. This game's realism is so intense that I've started questioning whether I could survive actual medieval times. I can't even make it through a simple conversation without accidentally insulting three nobles and starting a blood feud. My Henry has the diplomatic skills of a caffeinated badger, and somehow I've made him the most hated man in Bohemia while trying to be helpful. The combat system has evolved from 'confusing medieval dance' to 'even more confusing medieval dance with extra steps.' I've spent 47 hours in combat tutorials and I still swing my sword like I'm trying to open a particularly stubborn jar of pickles. Meanwhile, every peasant I fight moves like they trained with samurai masters and have PhD's in medieval warfare. I've become emotionally invested in Henry's hygiene routine. Spending 20 minutes making sure he's properly bathed, well-fed, and wearing clean clothes has become more important than the main quest. I've turned this epic medieval adventure into a medieval life simulation where the primary goal is maintaining acceptable body odor levels. The lockpicking minigame has evolved into something that requires the precision of a brain surgeon and the patience of a saint. I've broken more lockpicks than a medieval burglar with Parkinson's, and I'm pretty sure the game is personally judging my real-world manual dexterity through my inability to turn tiny digital mechanisms. My horse relationship status: It's complicated. We've been through battles together, shared intimate moments of getting lost in forests, and I've fed him more expensive food than I eat in real life. But he still occasionally decides that bridges are lava and cliffs are highways. Our trust issues run deeper than Henry's daddy problems. The save system continues to operate on medieval principles, which means I can only save by sleeping or drinking expensive potions. I've accidentally lost 3 hours of progress because I tried to pickpocket a guard 'just to see what would happen.' What happened was regret. So much regret. I've spent more time reading in-game books than I have real books this year. The lore is so detailed that I now know more about 15th-century Bohemian politics than current world events. My friends ask about current affairs and I respond with detailed analyses of medieval taxation systems and feudal obligations. The quest design makes me feel simultaneously like a legendary hero and the village idiot. I can lead armies into battle and influence the fate of nations, but I still get lost trying to find the local tavern. GPS was clearly humanity's greatest invention, and medieval people were basically superhumans for navigating anywhere without it. My inventory management has evolved into medieval Tetris played by someone who's colorblind and has never seen geometric shapes. I carry 47 different types of medieval items I don't understand, can't use, and refuse to sell because 'what if I need this rusty spoon for a quest someday?' 10/10 would accidentally start a medieval political incident while trying to buy bread again. This game has taught me that the real treasure isn't the friends we made along the way - it's the crippling anxiety of never knowing if you're about to accidentally insult someone's honor and die in a duel. Now excuse me, I need to spend 2 hours deciding which historically accurate doublet makes Henry look most trustworthy. Was this review helpful?

• Recommended Posted June 9, 2025 on Steam Honestly, the worst part about Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is that it ends. Finishing it felt like saying goodbye to something deeply personal. long, unforgettable journey I didn’t want to be over. I loved every second of it. I said something similar about the first game: it wasn’t perfect, but it felt like a cozy, familiar party, the kind of gathering you always want to attend. Warm, imperfect, but real. You didn’t want to leave. And honestly, I’d take that feeling over any technically perfect game that lacks such personal attachment. With the second game, that feeling is still there. It’s like going back to that same warm gathering, but this time with some new faces and deeper connections. Every mechanic, every system from the first game has been improved and that’s rare in sequels. There were moments when I wished for more choices (like a third dialogue option that wasn’t there) but it never broke the immersion. If anything, having fewer options probably preserved the strength of the dilemma I was in. It’s just something you quietly wish for. The world still feels wonderfully open, adventurous, full of possibilities and absolutely gorgeous. Practicing skills like sword fighting genuinely felt like learning something real, something you feel you’re learning alongside Henry. I loved blacksmithing so much. And the side quests? Entertaining, thoughtful, sometimes brilliantly written and often funny, too. What stayed with me was the way the story never lost sight of who Henry really is. He’s not a destined hero and that’s exactly what makes his journey so heroic. Both games handle that balance so well: showing how an ordinary person can become part of something bigger, without turning into a fantasy cliché. That makes it feel more human and more epic.
• Recommended Posted June 26, 2025 on Steam I've been gaming since my early 20s, but once I hit my late 20s and now early 30s, gaming fatigue became a real thing to me. Real life, and work in particular, catches up with you and you find out that you're not as good at long gaming sessions and all-nighters, and don't even really have much time for it. You just come home from work and all you really feel like doing is drop on the couch and doom scroll for the rest of the evening. Then, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 came along. It's the first game in years that I easily sunk hundreds of hours into, and I've only played it once. I would sign out from Teams, switch my monitor settings and jump right back into KCD2 to spend an hour harvesting herbs to craft potions. How silly is that? Well, it's oddly satisfying, much like making weapons in this game. I'm glad that my gut instinct was telling me that this game deserved to be played on a proper PC so I even spent 1k on my first gaming PC so I could experience it the way it was meant to be played in my opinion. For those of you who are considering playing this game and aren't sure about the combat, make sure you dedicate some time practicing with Tomcat. I got really frustrated in the beginning of the game when everyone was kicking my **s but I just took a few in-game days to practice with Tomcat until I was consistently beating him. After that, I was more than ready for nearly any enemy in the game. Edit 26/11/25: Excited to get back to this game next year for a third playthrough including the DLCs! Not sure if I'll do hardcore then or on a separate occassion. So many hours poured into this game already and still replayability!
• Recommended Posted December 27, 2025 on Steam 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.
• Recommended Posted February 9, 2026 on Steam 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.
