    • “The story is excellent, the scenery unreal, and there are a myriad of things to do from easy tasks to longer involved ones with many NPC interactions and skill set requirements.”
    • “The story, the characters, the twists, the plot twists!”

Players appreciate the depth of the RPG elements, such as crafting, combat, and survival mechanics, which enhance the overall experience, though some find the combat system clunky and frustrating, particularly in group encounters.

    • “Was enjoying the game very much and then it comes to an unbearable grinding stop straight after the wedding. All my gear once again taken off me, back to point one, moving sacks of coal around and doing chores once again and having to move around the castle with this game's boring sneak mechanics.”
    • “The gameplay is painfully slow and the voice lines sound like AI. Very confusing and maybe I'm totally missing something... trying to move your mouse in the right direction during combat doesn't add to combat, it distracts from it and that mechanic completely falls apart anyway if you have more than one opponent which is most of the time it seems.”
    • “The combat mechanics are some of the worst I've experienced in any game of this genre (m&k).”

    • “The graphics are very pleasing.”

    • “I feel like after the first few hours of the game you've heard every track, and from there it's just the same fight music, same tavern music, same exploring music on repeat forever.”

  • grinding
    948 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of "Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2" has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it excessively tedious and time-consuming. Critics highlight the repetitive nature of tasks such as crafting, alchemy, and quest navigation, which can detract from the overall enjoyment of the game.

    • “And it’s not grindy although very long.”
    • “There are no 'fetch' quests, there's no grinding; my only complaint is that the story was too short (but to be fair, it is like 40 hours).”
    • “Due to the massive number of hours I put into the game (130h – no grinding, just getting immersed and seeing most of what the game has to offer), the game became a bit too easy toward the endgame.”
    • “I have responsibilities in the real world during the day, and honestly I didn't want to come home from work to work in the forge to make money for the game... it's a bit tedious and time-consuming.”
    • “The storyline might be great, but if the combat is a chore (along with some of these missions that seem pointlessly grindy) then how can you enjoy the storyline exactly?”
    • “The quests are mostly just all around bad with illogical decision making and tedious tasks.”

    • “They are not good enough to let you be invested in the long and boring story.”
    • “Boring af free weekend but my first 80 mins is boring af picking flowers and burying beggars, medieval soap sim. I just want to armor up and kill, not some boring story carrying my half-dead mate and then scavenging flowers for the old crone lady to make a remedy followed by carrying beggars at 0.002mph multiple times to bury them.”
  • character development
    208 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development in the game is widely praised for its depth and emotional resonance, with players noting the natural progression of characters, particularly the protagonist Henry, as he evolves through various challenges and choices. Many reviews highlight the strong writing, voice acting, and immersive storytelling that enhance character relationships and make interactions feel meaningful. However, some critiques mention inconsistencies in character arcs, particularly with returning characters like Hans, who seem to regress from their previous development, impacting the overall narrative experience.

    • “The character development is engaging, and the challenges I've faced make every victory feel rewarding.”
    • “It suffered from a lot of missed opportunities for a plot hook or deep character development, but... I don't think KCD2 is really asking me to consider the writing as the centerpiece of its exquisite network of systems and minigames.”
    • “I never really connected with any characters, the story is so uninteresting I couldn't care less about it, and the character development was thrown out the window, because we have some cheap trick to force Henry into losing and having to regain his abilities, which I totally don't buy.”
    • “Suddenly Hans is back to the start of the first game, with all of his character development and friendship with Henry gone clear out the window in favor of him being the spoiled rich kid again, which will come and go with zero explanation throughout the game.”
  • replayability
    190 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game is praised for its high replayability, with many players highlighting the impact of choices, branching storylines, and the ability to approach quests in various ways.

However, some reviews note that certain slow sections and a lack of meaningful variation in the main plot can detract from the overall replayability.

    • “Infinite replayability & hidden depth.”
    • “The replayability is absurd, considering there's so many different choices that affect the story and what items you get, for both main quests and side quests.”
    • “The branching dialogue and choices add layers of replayability, making each playthrough feel unique.”
    • “Your pursuit of realism stops exactly where the production effort required to make the game replayable begins.”
    • “The main story is also not deviating with different choices in a meaningful manner, making it a bit unreplayable in nature for now.”
    • “Overall, I wouldn't say there is that much replayability because the main plot does not change that much, but it certainly provides a way to make the story your own.”
  • monetization
    89 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game has been overwhelmingly praised for its absence of microtransactions, aggressive DLCs, and pay-to-win mechanics, which many players find refreshing in an industry often criticized for cash-grab practices. Reviewers appreciate the developers' commitment to delivering a complete and immersive experience without the distractions of in-game purchases or advertisements, highlighting it as a return to quality game design. Overall, the game is seen as a standout example of how to create a fulfilling single-player experience without resorting to exploitative monetization strategies.

    • “You are greeted with a title screen where the developers are showing their gratitude that you decided to buy their game, not pushed with a million microtransactions (yes, I’m looking at you Ubisoft).”
    • “Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a blessing in an age full of microtransactions and live service games, feeling truly complete at release with no begging for more on top.”
    • “I remember the days when this was the average cost for new games; now the base game from AAA studios costs as much as the royal edition of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, then they push microtransactions on top of it, then DLCs that cost $40-$50 for an additional 20-30 hours of gameplay, and of course more microtransactions.”
    • “In an era where most new releases suffer from unnecessary microtransactions or offer shallow single-player experiences, this is a breath of fresh air.”
    • “In an age of soulless cash grabs, this is the diamond in the rough.”
