The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
IT IS NOT A CHOICE-DRIVEN STORY GAME like part 1!!
Just like in the first game, the gameplay core consists of a mix of spending time with our family and allies to discuss events that are happening in the story & their lives and attending the needs of our subjects with our limited resources.
The graphics are great, the storylines are engaging, and there is an impressive amount of attention to detail.
The music, like in the first game, is still great, with a high emphasis on slavic folklore and music, with some of the themes performed by Percival (who also participated in the soundtrack for The Witcher 3).
I played most of the game on a steam deck and it runs really well with the exception of one or two specific areas in which there is some stuttering.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 4 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
