It's not without it's frustrating elements (schnapps save system, jank, some quests with obtuse or poor design decisions) but when taken as a whole this has to be one of the greatest first person RPGs ever made if not the greatest.

It improves so much on the first game, which I felt was robbed of greatness by its bugs on launch, performance, combat system and pacing issues. Here in KCD2 the opposite is true; performance has been stellar, combat is fun, story is enthralling and while bugs do exist, they are far fewer in number.

The soundtrack here is also truly exceptional and still somehow manages to improve on the first game, which had great music.

Cannot recommend this enough.

Good when it works but it doesn't work!

Progress blockers, performance issues, glitches everywhere.

Boring

- Some of the worst map design in any shooter ever
- Every game a blowout, it's either a curb stomp or a snooze fest
- Guns are kinda weak feeling compared to other shooters
- SMGs should just be called long-distance beam cannons, hilarious "realistic" gun play
- Not many maps
- LMG role still useless due to counter snipers as in all Battlefields
- Class gimmicks everywhere
- Remember the destruction of the previous entries? Where did that go?

+ Has scoreboard

Oozing with atmosphere, a good time!

Look I'm up for a challenge but only if you do your jobs and provide a performant game. Dying to stutters isn't worth anyone's time.

Pray, this game aught work better
Methinks cringe archaic dialogue also not helping
Woe on this day

'Course

Worth it.

Scratches the same itches as a bone fide souls game.
Game is actually fairly large in size and scope.

I ran into 1 pretty serious bug on my 54h run where one of the bosses (lightreaper) wouldn't die when using an NPC summon.

Just go in with the right expectations make sure you have a beefy PC.

A mediocre clunky video game with good writing.
Playing this after re4 remake is kind of jarring.
The port has issues but I also think this title probably hasn't aged well.
