This gorgeous medieval RPG continues to be just as divisive, prickly and abrasive as its predecessor. - Eurogamer


"What there's no getting away from is that progression is purposely slow." - Game Radar+

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. - Tom's Guide

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. - Dualshockers

 
Eurogamer review reads like they wanted to give it a 2/5 jeez. I can't say I take much stock in it(I loved the first game, I get the sense the reviewer did not) but still, pretty harsh, not necessarily incorrectly(though not necessarily correctly, either) but still.
 
One guy is complaining about “women not being able to do anything”, like bro it’s the Middle Ages, seems accurate to me.
 
Previews were extremely positive, and the devs seemed very confident, so this isn't really a surprise. Hopefully this is their Witcher 3 moment.
