Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Reviews
In the end, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a time machine. It transports you to an era where survival was earned, honor was fragile, and every decision carved its mark into history. It demands patience, strategy, and a willingness to embrace life without shortcuts. But for those who commit, it offers a rare treasure: an RPG experience as rich and unyielding as medieval Bohemia itself.
It won’t be for everybody, and even the ones it will be for will no doubt find grievances within its systems, but there’s no denying KCD2 is an incredibly deep and dense game that will reward those willing to invest the time and energy into getting the most out of it. A strong story pulls us through parts that otherwise might have been too much to persevere with, but there have certainly been enough times that we have found ourselves enjoying the game that we’d offer a cautious recommendation.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a shining example of how a sequel should be developed

If you don't mind this and are willing to take the time to fully immerse yourself, then Kingdom Come II is an unforgettable adventure. In a beautiful world where every inch seems hand-crafted and there is a huge amount to do, you can easily lose yourself for 100 hours and still not have seen everything. Warhorse Studios delivers a world-class performance here and could easily have delivered a contender for Game of the Year 2025.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is the first serious contender for GOTY 2025.
This gorgeous medieval RPG continues to be just as divisive, prickly and abrasive as its predecessor.
Armed with excellent melee combat and an exceptional story, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is one part sequel and one part coronation, bringing a lot of the original's ideas to fruition.
With stellar storytelling, top notch voice acting, and much more polish than its predecessor, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a "return to form" for the RPG genre, and will likely be one of the best titles this year. Warhorse has proven they can elevate their formula to even greater heights, and I cannot wait to see what they do next. A day 1 buy for any RPG fan, especially those that enjoy true "role playing".
With Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Warhorse Studios delivers one of the first great games of 2025.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a big, bold, unutterably weird thing, and it's a new RPG classic.
In an age where games are fighting harder than ever just to succeed, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 should not be one to pass you by, as a return to form for the RPG genre. It’s not just a game about history - it’s a game that feels like it’s making history.
"What there's no getting away from is that progression is purposely slow."
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a triumphant sequel, improving upon its predecessor with an open-world RPG that delights in its complexity and emphasis on player choice.
An almighty step-up in presentation, execution and systems-heavy design, Warhorse's follow-up to their cult medieval-era RPG is a sandbox of splendor.
Playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 feels like stepping back through the pages of history. The game's commitment to authenticity is remarkable, and its focus on realistic gameplay makes it one of the most immersive RPGs ever. However, its lack of player conveniences is often a double-edged sword.
Warhorse's historical open world RPG makes Elder Scrolls feel shallow, but its deft feudal portrayal is checked by the routine boy's fable at its core.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is an unapologetically unique RPG that takes everything that was great about the original and takes it to the Nth degree. It's a cinematic, historically charged epic with a sublime open world to explore, a depth of systems to master, a wealth of meticulously designed quests to complete, and a sandbox survival format that makes simply existing in this world a satisfying and rewarding experience.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a staggering sequel that'll put you in a medieval mindset.
When it comes down to it, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a brilliant and astounding experience by a developer that has shown itself to be a leader in the open-world genre. Henry makes for such a pleasant protagonist that you can’t help but love him, and the journey you go on across medieval Bohemia is equal parts complex and deeply absorbing. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 shines bright among its peers, even with its dints and dents.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 continues to fulfil the uncompromising vision of the first game. It weaves together a world of lords, knights, peasants and bandits in medieval Europe, with poor Henry of Skalitz caught somewhere in the middle just trying to cope. It's grand in scale whilst being full of fine details and it sometimes gets in its own way a little bit, but if this is your kind of game it'll be one that you don't want to end because there's nothing else quite like it.
