Overall, the game is a bloody good time. If you ever fantasized about being in a battle from Braveheart or lining the ranks in the Battle of the Bastards, then look no further than Chivalry 2. The combat is robust where it is easy to learn difficult to master and is thoroughly satisfying. There are a ton of cosmetics to unlock for each class. The voice acting is hilarious and shows the game does not take itself too seriously. Graphically, Chivalry 2 is beautiful thanks to it running on Unreal Engine 4. Although there are some fundamental technical issues that bring it down a bit, it’s not enough to dampen the experience.
This game is tricky for me to score. Chivalry II doesn’t really break new ground. That’s not really a bad thing though, as the original was a bit rough but super fun. In most regards, the game is vastly improved and polished over the original. It is just so satisfying and fun to play that I can ALMOST overlook the minor bugs here and there, and the gameplay issue I described. If these things were addressed, this would be darn close to a 10/10 from me.
Overall, the game is pretty fun if you’re into medieval warfare and have fantasies of being a knight in such a battle. The battle modes didn’t feel like it’s dragging or taking too long. There is always that feeling of urgency to get the objectives done and the game takes you back into action with a respawn so you don’t just sit around waiting. What’s also good is that when a match ends, it queues you up to another game so you can get back into it. So if you’re looking to blowing off some steam and just want to hack and slash people and release all that tension that’s brewing inside of you, then Chivalry II is right up your alley.
Chivalry II is a multiplayer experience that welcomes everyone to enjoy the medieval carnage, regardless of their skill-set or familiarity with the series.
Chivalry II is an excellent multiplayer title that uses its simple concept to the point of maximum enjoyment. It suffers a bit from its modest selection of maps, but we trust this will be fixed with DLCs and updates over time.

It gleefully harnesses the silly and chaotic to such operatic excesses that I can't help but indulge in the beautiful carnage.
Chivalry 2 is a great multiplayer game that doesn't take itself too seriously but is a serious contender for one of the best online games this year. Combat is rewarding and skill-based but the lack of maps holds the game back from being excellent.
Chivalry 2 delivers on being a fantastic sequel, and the intense, visceral feeling of throwing stale bread at a knights head.
Expectation level was at peak level to get the best experience of medieval combat. Thankfully, most of them were satisfying until the in-game combat mechanism would sometimes make things confusing while multiple players cluster up. There aren’t many hyper-realistic medieval combat games that come close to this game. For those who are quite sick of orcs and wizard fantasy, this might be the sanctuary they’re looking for. A lot of physics engine brutality are to be witnessed but ironically, the game delivers what may happen to be a historical re-enactment during the ages of the most humane war between swords and shields.

Chivalry 2 works on most fronts, and certain where it is needed the most – bloody, visceral combat. To that end, the hackfest that is Chivalry 2’s meat and potatoes delivers a lot of fun for both casual players and those who want to dedicate their time into digging deeper into the gameplay mechanics. The progression system and maps are both quite good, even if I’d have liked to see a few more options with both. All in all though, Chivalry’s carnage-filled gameplay is just a whole lot of fun.
Chivalry 2 brings out the hero in all of us as we race towards death with our friends by our side. There’s something about the chaos and immersion that draws you in for hours. Thankfully the servers held up across matches full of battle cries and deaths at the hands of my allies. There’s never a dull moment, no matter your skill level.
Chivalry 2 isn't perfect, but the experience is extremely enjoyable, and that's probably the most important thing an all-online game should have. If you love medieval battles and enjoy the feeling of being on a big battlefield, Chivalry 2 is for you; Do not miss it!

Chivalry 2 is a great time and the controls are intuitive enough to be able to jump in and chop down some enemies. While content is a bit light at launch and there isn’t any evolution to the mechanics for veterans, I can’t deny the frantic fun.
When you swing with that weapon with purpose, and it connects, it’s a joy so few games can give. Every fight is a nail biter and you’re having so much fun that you don’t care whether you win or lose. Not only do those on console get to enjoy what Chivalry 2 is all about this time, but there’s crossplay so that everyone on PC and console can play together. Everything about the game is cinematic and grand, and never disappoints. Chivalry 2 is a sequel that exceeds expectations and has been worth the wait.
Chivalry 2's approach to medieval combat is equal parts satisfying and silly, creating a raucous multiplayer experience that begs to be played with friends.
With Chivalry 2 coming in at a budget price tag, it’s a great multiplayer experience for anyone to enjoy. The combat is deep and full of variety, giving players a chance to live out their medieval fantasies however they wish. Utilizing cross-play and great animations, players will always have someone to have their epic duels with. While it might not be perfect in the performance department, nor for offline play, Chivalry 2 is still good fun.
