What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
+ Great story-writing and easter eggs: you will laugh, you will feel joy, you will question "what if?", you will feel sadness/empathy, but the outcome will be decided by...some dice roll.
KCD2 is a very refreshing AA game for the longest time in the midst of AI, remaster, and gameplay replayability.
The graphics are a good upgrade from the first game and particularly impressive.
+ great sound quality and voice acting as well (I had VA set to czech as personal preference)
+ Very good optimization: Warhorse Studio optimization has come a long way since first KCD.
