After four hours with Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, I was struck with the thought that this is a game that is exceedingly challenging to demo. The original Kingdom Come: Deliverance had an impressive level of depth and authenticity, and these are elements that have been broadened and expanded on in KCD2, but this meant that the time I spent in the world of Warhorse’s virtual Bohemia were far too brief. Nevertheless, it’s a place and experience I am excited to revisit.While the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance was a difficult game for a lot of people to get into, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 aims to be more approachable in both story and gameplay without compromising any of the elements that resonated with the first game’s hardcore fans. Players won’t need to have finished or even played KCD to enjoy KCD2, but the sequel’s 80-100 hour experience will certainly be elevated for anyone that already has a foundation in the series.
