King's Bounty II Reviews
I think King’s Bounty II falls down slightly in its core game design. Especially the narrative and the RPG elements of it feel stifled and a grind. To me, King’s Bounty II feels like a game that wants to take inspiration from titles like The Witcher 3 with new discoveries and adventures around every corner. But it doesn’t quite hit the mark with its mediocre storyline and wooden characters and semi-linear world. The combat, while tough and unforgiving, I did find enjoyable as I like a good challenge. King’s Bounty II is one of those games I’m not entirely sure how I feel about it one way or the other as it has as many good points as bad points so for that reason King’s Bounty II scores…
A new King's Bounty arrives with several important changes over previous titles, but keeping much of the essence. An adventure that tries to get closer to other titles such as Dragon Age or The Witcher, but maintaining those combats so characteristic that have made the saga a cult franchise over the last 30 years.

I think that 1C Entertainment is laying foundations for more King's Bounty to come - and I'm looking forward to that. King's Bounty II is the successor I've been looking forward to.

Just like many of its undead characters, King's Bounty 2 fails to revive a venerable franchise due to its lack of innovation, archaic design decisions, and grindy backtracking.
mechanics that could go back even further it feels like a relic. There is nothing egregiously wrong with it, and if the battle system looks interesting to you, it could be worth getting on sale. Launching at $49.99 US though I can’t recommend it in good conscience to anyone.
This is a good first step to leveling up this franchise, the gameplay is still challenging and asks a lot out of you in a very satisfying way but the world building, audio-visual presentation and incorporating the exploration parts with the battles need a little more work to help King’s Bounty achieve its true potential.
