One might assume that a sequel would be a mere repetition of its predecessor, dressed up in slightly finer cloth. Yet, to my great relief, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has proven itself a most distinguished continuation of Henry’s tale.

The world is vast and immersive, brimming with the grit and grandeur of the late medieval era. Every cobblestone, every blade of grass seems to whisper of history. The combat remains as demanding as ever—one does not simply wade into battle without forethought, lest one wishes to meet an untimely end.

The addition of crossbows and early firearms is a most welcome refinement, allowing for a fresh approach to engagements. And while our dear Henry was once a hapless fool, stumbling his way through swordplay, he now begins with some semblance of skill, sparing us the ordeal of feeling entirely useless at the outset.

The narrative, I must say, is a triumph. Rarely does one find a game so dedicated to storytelling, where even the most mundane conversation is treated with care. The choices before us are seldom easy, and the consequences—unlike in so many lesser affairs—are felt keenly as the tale unfolds.

Of course, it would not be Kingdom Come without the occasional mishap. A horse caught in an impossible predicament, an enemy floating in some ghostly manner—such things are inevitable, but one learns to bear them with good humour.

All in all, this is a game of remarkable ambition and refinement, a rare gem in an age so often defined by mediocrity. I daresay it has earned my highest regard, and I shall most certainly continue my adventures in this most treacherous yet captivating world.
