Overview
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is bland, boring, and uninspiring, resembling an add-on or continuation rather than an improved sequel, receiving an overall score of 3 out of 10.
The early gameplay suffers from excessive tutorials, tedious hand-holding tasks, unchanged graphics lacking luster for a 2025 release, and an unchanged combat system that remains slow, clunky, and prone to unintended camera movement without lock-on.
The opening sequence progresses slowly from sneaking to an ambush where comrades are slaughtered, followed by an escape hampered by slow crouching, stone distractions, poor AI, vague compass objectives, and invisible walls before leading into survival chores and a familiar revenge premise.
