Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: A Review
Smiting enemies with swords in video games is a timeless joy, but Kingdom Come: Deliverance from 2018 added a unique twist. Not only do you get to wield sharp bits of metal, but you also get to experience the satisfaction of crafting your own weapons through an intricate blacksmithing mini-game. As someone who has delved deep into this medieval RPG, I can confidently say that Kingdom Come Deliverance II: Deliver Harder is a worthy successor that builds upon its predecessor’s foundation.
If you missed the original game, imagine a world similar in size to Skyrim but set in a realistic medieval setting with a strong emphasis on historical accuracy. The story follows a tale of revenge intertwined with rags-to-riches elements, creating a rich narrative for players to explore.
