Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is an incredible RPG that is worthy to be called a truly non-linear experience, and it is playable on the Steam Deck.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a phenomenal RPG that players will love spending countless hours on. Bohemia is prosperous and thriving, with a lot of natural interactions that can lead players on quests that feel like an adventure. Henry’s story is epic, goes through emotions, and will stick with gamers. Some graphical bugs were an issue but should be patched up in a future update. Even if players didn’t play the first game, they shouldn’t miss out on playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance II.

Jesus Christ be praised, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is back! 2018’s medieval RPG quickly made a name for itself with its brutal realism, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is bigger, better, and even more epic.

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.

For Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 to be judged rightly, it needs to be seen for what it is rather than what it is not. It's not an epic fantasy RPG like Dragon's Dogma 2 or The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim; it's essentially a narrative-driven medieval sim meant to immerse players in the history and world of that period, all while telling its own story. What some may define as limitations are simply the boundaries of realism that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has voluntarily enclosed itself in to produce a more authentic role-playing experience than most modern RPGs provide. When examined...

If you give yourself over to Warhorse’s muddy opus, it will reward you with a hundred hours of grueling and enjoyable trial and error. It’s buggy and rough around the edges on Switch, but Kingdom Come Deliverance is a singular RPG experience. The pacing and constant juggling of mechanics is not for everyone, but invest the time and you’ll experience an engrossing, grounded adventure.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance has some nice ideas and pretty countryside, but is ultimately still buggy, broken and, perhaps worst of all, boring.

I really wanted to like Kingdom Come: Deliverance more than I did, but at the end of the day the conflicting mechanics only compound the technical and narrative flaws the further you get into the game.

This ambitious title from a new developer impresses, but technical issues hold it up considerably.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance was a grand idea. In a genre awash with fantasy epics, it sought to ground a role-playing adventure not in some distant and imaginary land, but in history. There would be no wizards, no dragons, no giant rats—just you, a horse, some mud, and a cast of flawed human beings.

While I have come out of Kingdom Come: Deliverance somewhat disappointed, Warhorse Studios still did deliver on their original KickStarter promise of creating a realistic RPG unlike any other. While the developers did squeeze as much potential as their studio could out of this concept, to sometimes remarkable results, Kingdom Come: Deliverance may have been a tad too bit ambitious for them on a technical level, and it really shows.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a fantastic and absolutely frustrating experience. I was treated to a memorable lead character whose agency and development was largely wiped away with a twist late in the game and a collection of incredible gameplay mechanics and quests repeatedly stifled by bugs. Despite its downfalls, though, the good parts of the game are so good. I spent 50+ hours in the game’s version of 15th century Bohemia and that’s with me rushing through the latter half of the game, leaving plenty of interesting side-quests to be unfinished. I’d have done a whole lot more if I...

Despite offering an endless tapestry of intriguing tales to draw from, the events of history remain criminally ignored by video games. Sure, exotic locations like ancient Egypt and decades-old wars occasionally serve as flashy backdrops for modern action, but too few games try to convey what life was really like in a historical time and place. Kingdom Come: Deliverance eschews the fantasy tropes of other open-world RPGs in favor of the real-life characters and conflicts of 15th century Bohemia. Unfortunately, the engrossing feudal adventure awaiting players is brought to its knees by a needlessly restrictive save system and a litany...

The combat directional rose I spoke of earlier has its quirks. To do combos, you have to quickly switch stances to different directions. It’s very sensitive in that regard. I’ve had a hard time getting used to it because I would use one direction and try to get in another direction it ends up going up or down and I miss my combo. I think it needs a little improvement, shouldn’t be as sensitive to movement as it is. The animations could use some work. While they aren’t bad, ...

Offers up a decent, if predictable, story with interesting characters, beautiful scenery, and ambitious concepts but falls short with numerous glitches, annoying mini-games, and a lack of player immersion.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an ambitious game. It boldly aims to stand apart from a well-trodden genre of fantasy RPGs by removing spells, dwarves, and dragons, opting instead to realize an authentic European Middle Ages setting. To that end, every inch of its intricately crafted open world has been designed with realism and historical accuracy in mind. But the absence of fantasy elements certainly hasn’t made the experience any shallower. On the contrary, the inclusion of various survival mechanics, ultra-realistic sword combat, and the sum of hundreds of tiny but impressive details in the name of authenticity have made it...

There are a good handful of open-world, medieval RPGs (role-playing games) out in the gaming sphere. Some offer incredible storytelling, some offer a huge array of amazing things to stumble upon, and some have been re-released 6 times in the last 4 years. But the one thing I’m yet to see a medieval RPG do is convincingly throw you into a world that is as genuinely filthy, unpleasant, and as gruelling as the period of time it is set. So in trots Kingdom Come: Deliverance, a game that throws ...

Warhorse Studios took a big risk with this game and hopefully in the long run the technical issues can be addressed, because as of right now, they prevent Deliverance from reaching greatness. If you can climb over the mountain of jank and poor optimization then you’ll be in for an incredibly authentic experience, that when it works, truly puts role-playing front and center in a fabulous way.

It won’t be for everyone, for various reasons, but if nothing else Kingdom Come proves that a role-playing game doesn’t have to rely on fantasy to keep you interested.

The Middle Ages has long served as inspiration for RPGs. More often than not that inspiration has been limited to a Fantasy realm. The influence is there in Fantasy, of course, however, there are but a few that have a real historical context. Kingdom Come: Deliverance aims to not only tell a historical tale but also have players interact with that world in an accurate way as well. We’re all used to playing the powerful hero in RPGs but how about the not so powerful son of a blacksmith?

If you like slow and deliberate story development, which is at the heart of this game, then you can safely purchase it after all the bugs get fixed.

A very good and immersive title that suffers from technical issues and some surprisingly misguided design decisions.

Kingdom Come is a walking simulator merged with an RPG that takes you down a Wikipedia black hole. Accepting its historicity and deciphering its cerebral game systems is like completing a religious rite.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is equal parts amazing and challenging, with a small dash of unfinished frustration. The world that Warhorse has built is dirty, unforgiving, brutal, and easily one of the best open world RPGs on the market. The game’s unflinching dedication to its representation of the horrors of medieval life pulls you in and demands your attention. The occasional bugs mar the experience, but Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a must-have for any open world role playing game fan in search of something unique.

If Kingdom Come: Deliverance has a ton of bug fixing to improve the performance drastically, it could be a hidden gem. It’s clear that the game, despite its grand ambitions, was simply not ready for public consumption. Shimmers of brilliance are there and had it seen more time in the oven, or set its ambitions at a more reasonable level, it could have been brilliant and scored significantly higher as a result. Alas, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is another cautionary tale rather than a trend setter.

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance you’re just a small cog in a reasonably big world, but your actions feel like they have worth and impact. You’ll prove yourself to be helpful many a time, but often you’ll have to rely on others for assistance, or to even do the job for you. It goes a long way to make the land of Bohemia a living, breathing place rather than just your personal playground, and I admire that. It’s by no means free of frustration, but Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a special game. It’s a game that isn’t afraid of being different...
