Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Review - A Masterclass Open World Experience
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- The Kingdom Come: Deliverance series continues after 7 years with the long-awaited sequel to Henry’s inaugural adventure in medieval Bohemia. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is an outstanding open-world RPG bursting at the seams with compelling content. The main quest alone takes 60 hours or so, while side content easily reaches into the hundred-hour range.
But it’s not just quantity that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 delivers. The main quest in particular is lovingly crafted in every respect. The cinematography is great, and the plot and characters are a roller-coaster of a ride to follow.
Some of the old gremlins from the first game return - yes, I’m referring to the Savior Schnapps save consumable. It’s unfortunate that there’s still no way to save anywhere at any time, and what makes it worse is the long loading time. Despite some hiccups here and there with the sim-adjacent systems at play, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is one of the better open-world games out there.
Everyone whining about savior schnapps never played hardcore mode in kcd 1
Wooo
Wah wah wah, that's you
still that silly mechanic should be just an option. i have no time for that crap, i want quick save/load wherever i want
@@zbigniewiksinskiThats fair. i don't mind it personally as i respect the reason for it and how it effects how I play.
As it makes the risk of ingame death more impactful imo. Players will be more cautious with 2 hours of progress on the line when they realized they haven't saved than with 2 minutes. more likely to runn away to live another day than try and brute force through by save scumming.
Also there are multiple ways to save from using the bath house, to sleeping, the drink or the quest auto saves as well as the exit save.
Facts
I'm.glad i bought this game. But it will be my life for the next 2 or 3 weeks.
I love it.
I actually like that there are some side quests where your choice leads to you not getting anything,
Agreed. I saw someone complain they got like 50 coinfor a side mission.
People are forgetting that your Henry in a time when money was not something most people had a lot of. So why would one expect a commoner to give them allot of money for helping them.
Also you get XP for just about everything you do. So side missions are leveling you up.
Very excited to play this game and now I can stop waiting on Stalker 2 to be fixed which is taking way too long. KCD2!!! Let's go!
watching this review to get more excited about a game I already preordered.
Same! I do not pre-order, ever, and I pre-ordered this one! SO EXCITED!
Same brother same!!! 5 more hours where im at!
@@hectorlopez9453same 4.5 hours. I’m feeling quite hungry 😂
@@xkernalsandersxI never played the first one and just like single player games like red dead, uncharted some others, just upgraded my ps5 to the pro, do you think I will like this game!
@chuck176 if you like a solid RPG, which it looks like you just might then yeah this one's for you
This looks rather good
It's really great
Somebody give ‘archangel’ a tissue to wipe away the tears……….
I wish they could make a 3rd person sword game but with some really precise parry mechanics similar to surge 2. Reminds me of an old mobile game called infinity blade it sold millions of copies and was ditched by epic dev company chair after the 3rd game and was never used again.
I remember Infinity Blade. One of the few mobile games that made you forget it was a mobile game.
Still have it on my Iphone haha
@ it changed the way I look at mobile. I can’t recall how many times I beat all 3 games. I loved them all and can’t believe they never did anything else with it for console. The story was fantastic and they could have done so much turning into a real 3rd person arpg. I’d have got it lol
@@TheSolarium18 dude I wish I still had it. Bastards made sure you can’t even download it anymore even if you own it. Why not update it to new iOS and turn it free to play they have nothing to lose
@@Nedk82 yeah it was great probably too great for the exploing garbage they call moba industry
Lol seeing the sword clip through the metal like that when hes blacksmithing 😂
And?
Since Skyrim ??? Soundtrack going crazy like that???
This will be my first Medieval game rpg second rpg game besides elden ring
Elden Ring is fantasy though
Elden ring is high fantasy game hahahaha
I HATE it when they call Kingdom Come an "open world" game...
Can you still get wealthy picking dandelions?
Should be 10/10?
He clearly said the game has some flaws in the video, did you watch it?
@@Sw33tB3rry All games have flaws, but that doesn't stop games getting 10's because they have flaws.
@@strider775right bro 😂
@@strider775 Agreed. I've noticed this habit of reviewers to work backwards from 10 without considering the "X factor" that a game might bring, as well as things like how a product can be bigger than the sum of all its parts.
As an example: Pretend a story focused game releases and it has the greatest story ever told in a game, like its a couple levels beyond anything else in the medium, well, only a fool would try to apply linear metrics to "scoring" that game, and taking off points for a few bugs, or janky controls or whatever is missing the point that the story element is transcendent in the genre.
So in this way, not giving it the highest score (because they frame a perfect score as "not flawless" instead of farming it as "perfect in the sense that what it achieves is matchless") is completely detracting from how good the game is at doing what its ACTUALLY GOOD at. Sorry for the long post but its something I've been thinking about a lot lately and needed to vent...
@ 10/10 means perfect. How can anything be perfect if it has flaws? Lmao.
REMEMBER THIS, GAMING BOLT GAVE STARFIELD 10/10 😂😂😂
LMAO. I almost forgot about that. That is absolutely insane
That game is average , it was a 6/10
Wow, 10/10?! 😅
I love Starfield and even i know it's not close.
Different strokes for Different folks yall. I would call it a 7 but I can see how with modding potential I could call it a 10, and frfr if the protag would've been voiced it would've been a 10 for me
So your take is that you wasted your time on a side quest because you got nothing, yet the quest giver asked you to retrieve everything, and you did not achieve that? You could have fought and bitched out. It's also probably true that because your character wasn't a fighter that you achieved quests that a fighter couldn't do. Great take as always GB!
Fair, but wasted time is wasted time.
@@Melchiorblade7is not wasted time as everything you do levels up your character traits.
Also this game is not your typical do mission get money like other games.
Some side missions are simply to help someone and also enjoy the experience.
I think some people are so caught up in getting money 💰 for side quest they lose sight of the goal of the game.
Enjoy the journey.
No one mentions the armor and weapon progression, the economys balance, the visual progression or if you can get too good gear too early.
I'd love to buy this game, but as someone who has limited time to play games the prospect of losing 3hrs of progress really puts me off and was the reason I stopped playing the first game (despite really enjoying it)
Understandable. I have limited time most days as well. Have found that is quite fun but you have to change how you view saving.
Make sure to Bath at the bathhouse and take a nap or 2 when possible as both can save. If your doing the main quest it apparently saves after each notable point relatively frequently. So the drink is mainly for if you are doing open world activities far afield from save sources.
Als you can save exit and then reenter and that save will remain untill you save and exit again. Its cumbersome to use though so I mainly only consider it if I am going to try something stupid.
That said this does make surviving some encounters when you realized you for got to save for a hour both harrowing but also really satisfying.
@werecoth thanks for this! It sounds like it has a Stalker 2 vibe in terms of survival and stuff and I really loved that game so maybe I'll drop the cash!
Use console comands
Who is here because you wanna see if Hans meets Arse 'n balls again😂😂
Just chill with the spoilers! How do you call yorself a journalist if you can’t convey information about a mechanic without giving away EVERYTHING that happrns in a quest?
When did he say he was a journalist?
Grow up
The game is long as hell I'm 💯certain nothing earth shattering was spoiled for you or anyone
What a surprise! The channel who was gooning this game for weeks like it! I can’t wait too play tonight!
Is it not out tomorrow?
@ special edition my guy, 9 pm tonight
@@Trademarc4ever lucky man, not heard of the special edition, is that the collectors one?
@ yep
@@finh6798 a lot of people got it delievered early, the day 1 patch isnt out til tomorrow but its playable already
We KCD Fan's know what we are getting into & We Love this Game also don't care to much about what other people Think 💪
Interesting how you watch someone’s review if you don’t care about what other people think
@definer0 I was Bored & i came across the video. Anything else you would like to Say ?
Yeah brother you tell them. Keep sticking it to the man 😤🤜🤛😤
should i even try to attempt to run this on a 1660 super?
Is the lock picking mini game the same as the first game?! That game mechanic broke me on console 😭
Slightly tweaked but mostly yes. Henry isn't as inexperienced as the first game so he also starts Slightly more capable even with the set back to his physical condition.
This shits on IGN's review. Well done as always Gaming Bolt!
I'm in
If i pre-order can i play it tonight at midnight?
No comes at 11 am est ehich is stupid idk what happened to big games releasing at midnight smh
@@hectorlopez9453 You're aware of time zones, yes?
If you pre-order, the game actually gets better.
@@mangaas is that right funny guy?
Mad cus you couldn't afford it launch day?
We know what game your talking about dude. You don't have to say KCD2 every KCD2 seconds. Great game. My only gripe is that I wish they added the option hardcore mode at launch instead of making us buy the DLC for it later
hardcore mode was under the free update section of the road map i believe.
edit- double checked and it is along with the barber and horse racing as free content updates they know they will add and sooner thatn later as well apparently.
The 3 planed DLCs that are paid. are called "Brushes with death", " Legacy of the Forge" and " Mysteria Ecclessia".
good game
City looks empty.no crowds
Im hyped for this but i just started KCD1
Can we count the amount of times he says kcd2
Henry isnt actually a blacksmiths son.
Depends on how you view it as he was raised by one and society mostly views him as one when aware of how he grew up.
Why not 10/10 for “MASTERCLASS” What little thing was wrong to not give it 10
The review listed issues like not caring for the save system and others that would explain why its not a 10 for them. Some people view a 10 as meaning a flawless game which nearly no game is for everyone. thers view a 10 as just being close to perfect where any issues just don't negativly bring down the game enough to undermine the enjoyment they jave from it.
Reviews are opinions though and this game is a solid 10 for me as I respect what the save system adds to some encounters and though I do notice things like the Voice actor repetition in some aspects, it doesn't effect my enjoyment of the game as I expect it from such a large game.
Also a 9 out of 10 is a really high score, the second highest posible unless they do decimals.
How many fps on ps5?
60
Uncapped if you have vrr seems around 70-90
watch the digital foundry video for kcd 2
What do you mean "final quest"?
Koo-tin-berg. You're not cutting a berger.
Is there a setting where I can turn off survival crap like having to eat and stuff like that?
Theres perks where you can eat less and others where you won't have to worry. Theres free food pots all over too
Found the band wagon jumping noob that's a fake fan 😂
@@reymisterio1386 Currently no, if your playing on PC there may be a Mod for that eventually. that said they are rather integrated aspects of the game since how full you are also effects Potion usage as well as perks and debuffs based around it.
which also ties back into the game economy since you have to buy food for you and your dog, or steal it, possibly go poaching by that time periods standards.
Kind of part of games circle of immersion.
@kolz4ever1980, why would you ever respond this childishly about someone interested in a hobby you're passionate about?
@paradox4780 why did you dumb ass? 😂
Call it masterclass and give it a 9…
Ummmm yeah! Shawshank Redemption is a masterpiece but not a 10….
9 is a superb score, what’s the issue? The first is one of my favorites, but the bugs objectively keep it from being a 10, doesn’t make it any less special or unique
Masterpieces range from 9s and 10s
9 is great? Not every 10 is a 10
This comment is a masterclass in bad comments. 3/10
So I still don't know what this game is about??? So it's story driven and you can't be what you wanna be ? Be a king or kill everyone?
You play as Henry in a medieval world with relatively realistic combat and world design, choosing your path through a multifaceted story with many side quest that are unique to each game. It’s Skyrim turned up to 11 without dragons and way more choice and consequence. If you’re still confused refer to the first sentence.
You like morrowind? A man of culture and good taste I see 🙂
Kay Seedey too.
I give it GOTY. I dont think anything else will match this across the board
GTA 6 says hello
@GrimAbstract if it actually releases this year
the saving system is just odd. Why add a system like this that does nothing except irritate people?
To try to battle save scumming so your choices have consequences and are final... Its not for everyone but i love the save system and i hate that they now have a save an quit option instead of going to bed like the first game.... But for everyone not liking it, the first mod will probably be unlimited saves.
You can always say Save&Exit
You can get Savior Schnaps for manual saves much easier than in the first game
Autosaves are far more common and more frequent than in the first game…
Other than that try to stick to your decisions and get some attention span
@slowshadow2669 you could save scum in the first game, the schnapps mechanic was irrelevant. Its the same here, it's a failed mechanic, twice now.
If they wanted player choices to matter, the game would save as soon as you made them. If you die and redo a dialogue sequence, that dialogue choice moves forward without a dialogue option as you already made your choice the previous time. Simple, and definitive.
There is a proper way to do it, and KCD's schnap system ain't it.
@ excellent idea, if that is what they are really concerned with
@ I have an attention span I just don’t see the point in adding a mechanic which makes things irritating. Not hard, just irritating. Why does it make sense for someone to have to save and quit only to load the game again to continue.
KCD and KCD2 is not your typicalopen world game where you are going to get money for every single thing you do.
The game is about becoming Henry and how you role play with him.
If every single mission or side mission gave you money it would break the game as Henry would have way to much coin.
At least them pulling a bait and switch with Henry means I get to save my money for Yakuza and Monster Hunter
you know the reviewer is not a true fan when he literally complains about the sims elements in kcd2
Looks terrible
Why you looking at a mirror?
Cause it is and it's woke
"There has, at least, been a concerted effort to make the game more diverse. The first game was criticized for lacking representation outside of a handful of Turkic Cumans. In Kingdom Come 2, there's a Romani camp early on where you can pick up a few interesting quests pertaining to their beliefs and way of life. Various cultures are represented in Kuttenberg where you'll find plenty of Germans and an authentic Jewish quarter, with plot points delving into what it was like for Jews living in a predominantly Catholic country. Women are more autonomous as well, taking on vital roles that veer outside the lines of the patriarchy. There's still some sleaziness, but this is mainly reserved for those working in bathhouses, and even the women there are given slightly more characterization than the mere sexual objects they previously were." - Gamespots review
Super woke game.
Need to count the number of times KCD2 was said....
honestly, were you ppaid to say thiis? the game is not optimised at all, many bugs, no saving options, quality is bad. maybe the story is good, but i cant get to it bcs i need to replay trivial parts on and on and on again.
And he slags a lot of it off and still gives it a 9. Reviewer isn't very good at their job it seems.
Is Hans gay with Henry or not, that's all I want to know
Isn't that a bit of a shallow way to look at this game?
Nope
Who cares? Depends how you role play as him doesn't it?
They are not and there is also no decision in the game which can lead to that if that’s your question..
@@slowshadow2669 bots mass lying to people, a reviewer confined it's not only Hans but male prostitutes
How many times did this guys say KCD2? this guy has no respect for the creators of this game what a joke
Have some respect for the game creators of this game they worked on this for years and u come in and abbreviate the title wow....u didn't call it zelda TOTK
That's what everyone calls it noob. Deal with it
@@kolz4ever1980you're both so strange
T pose quality animation
1st
Culture war bs, this game SUCKS. It nowhere looks like AAA game, let alone is very janky.
How many hours do you have in the game?
@@paradox4780 6 hours
@AstroBall-c5p go play call of duty instead, then? Idk. If it's not for you, it's not for you.
It should have been called a pile of s**t and given 4 out 10, and gamingbolt should apologize to everyone who pre-ordered based on there recommendation. Cause kingdom come deliverance and kingdom come deliverance 2 are huge piles of s**t that should never ever have been reviewed.
Haha whats your problem dude?
Did your girlfriend fckd a developer from Warhorse or what?
Well that is an opinion for sure. Seems like it's not your type of game. Though that level of aggression would indicate you have a personal issue with the game or devs as well.
@ This guy is just a brainwashed m0r0n without any opinion on his own and a sense for nuances.
Woke game. No buy.
How?
Because?
False flags.
Maybe you would like to further elaborate on your statement?
I agree. There's too much women in the game. And there's that one black guy.
Nobody ever gives a game a 10 this is a 10 you're dead wrong. Also this absolutely takes away from your credibility you've never given a game at 10
If it’s a ten for you then more power to you. The first game and the second game are a 0/10 for me because of its clunky mechanics and boring gameplay. Don’t put too much mind to a review.
Woke crap. The devs lied about this game
You're much gayer than anything in the game
🤡
Why are you gae
@@Ghostballz420😂😂
They make the main character gay
🤡
No, you're the one who can make Henry gay. You people are so obsessed with gay sex it's quite telling.
@martinmatyniky3 Play as a gay medieval knight all you want 😂 Its not something I'll be spending my money on thanks
🤡
What a clown, the main character isnt gay, you would know that if you got out of that hole you're in.
