Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Just as bizarre and ambitious as its inspirations
This is not your usual sweeping fantasy fare.
THIS MIGHT BE the most specific RPG we've ever played. Everything from its location to its era, combat, and clothing feels hyper-tuned and dialled in with precision to suit oddball tastes. If you're looking for a typically sweeping fantasy romp, you simply won't find one.
Like its predecessor, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a game whose story springs inevitably from the politics of its time and place, namely Bohemia in 1403. Want to mow down your foes by the dozen? Good luck. Combat is a strange dance of positioning both your hands and feet relative to those of your enemies, and charging into the fray even in the late game is liable to get you cut apart. Want to equip a hauberk without first equipping a padded gambeson beneath it? What are you, some kind of moron?
