Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 preview: A satisfying return to a grounded open world

It’s been some time since I first picked up and played Kingdom Come Deliverance when it released in 2018, and returning to Henry’s story seven years later in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is delightful. There’s a lot more polish to it in the combat, precision gameplay of crafting, and bow hunting feels significantly rewarding, showing how much care and time the Warhorse Studios team has put in. That’s only after my first initial hours, and there’s still so much to explore.

Not only is there more polish to Kingdom Come 2, but the developers have a good way to reintroduce players to the larger world of 15th-century Bohemia as it sits in the middle of a drastic civil war between brothers Wenceslaus and Sigismund. Thankfully, you don’t have to have played or completed the first game to appreciate this sequel, but it certainly gives an expectation of how grueling and unforgiving the gameplay can be for the uninitiated.
