Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 developers made my favorite RPG of 2025 by trusting their original vision: "We had the strength to say, 'Yes, that's what we want'" (www.gamesradar.com)

I love how they improve and expand every single thing for the first game, map, variety, combat, dialogues, mechanics, quests.

When i reach in Kuttemberg i was astonished by the level of detail and the amount of unique NPCs.

I played the first one, and after an hour, I honestly didn't understand why people enjoy this series.

That doesn't make it necessarily bad, it just isn't for me.

You really gotta be willing to slam your head against the game for a while in the first one. I say this as a person who loves KCD, I rage quit/uninstalled the first one multiple times.

The second one is far more accessible and smooth than the first while still remaining as wildly ambitious and satisfying (or more) than the first. Sadly, to get the best experience you have to suffer through the first...which is a great game but yeah, tons of friction and I don't blame you.

It's immersive. But i can see how the combat and slow pace can turn people off from it.

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah it was mostly the combat. I raged quit and uninstalled after a few quests because of the fighting and the arrows. I tried to pick it back up later but I completely forgot the dynamics of fighting with the controller, it was greek to me. And because of my lack understanding combat I quit again and uninstalled. But also lock picking is a bitch, I tried to learn how to jailbreak and mod my Xbox one because I found a lock picking mod online. Long story short I failed to install the mod and my enjoyability level was waning by the days of playing and getting nowhere

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah lock picking baggles me, and the combat has me locked to a certain mission I haven't been able to pass. I keep restarting because i remember the controls. And then i get stuck at the same mission again lol

I love the game though.

The first hour or five you really are just a guy that escaped death, and it's over the span of the game that you grow into a capable knight, the journey and immersion on the quest of becoming an adult are just second to none imo

I have 400 hours in KCD but no desire to play the sequel. I'm just not ready for a yolked, older Henry. Also, I'm not getting a sense of the same passion in players that KCD evoked. It's on sale right now for under 20 quid and I still don't have any interest. Maybe in a few years when it's a fiver but maybe not even then.
