    Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 review

    KCD2 is just as bizarre and ambitious as its inspirations. Thank god.

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 might be the most specific RPG I've ever played. Everything from its location, to its era, to its combat, to its clothing feels hyper-tuned, dialled in with precision to suit oddball tastes.

    Looking for a sweeping fantasy romp? You won't find one. Like its predecessor, this is a game whose story springs inevitably from the politics of its time and place: the Kingdom of Bohemia in 1403. Want to mow down your foes by the dozen? Good luck. Combat is a strange dance of positioning both your hands and feet relative to those of your enemies, and charging into the fray even in the late game is liable to get you cut apart. Want to equip a hauberk without first equipping a padded gambeson beneath it? What are you - some kind of moron?

    [...]

    Signed, sealed, delivered
    KCD2 feels a bit miraculous: a ludicrously ambitious and peculiar thing that somehow fulfills its ambition and peculiarity, managing to hit the highs Warhorse aimed for in the first game but perhaps fell just short of.

    It feels tailor-made for a certain brand of systems-loving sicko-the kind of person who still gets starry-eyed about Stalker and Morrowind-and manages to actually make good on their (or at least my) nostalgic yearning for those halcyon games of old.

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a big, bold, unutterably weird thing, and it's a new RPG classic.

    Score: 90/100
