Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
Farmer's son Henry continues fighting his way through medieval Bohemia, this time in an even bigger and more vibrant world. It offers uncompromising attention to detail in combat, blacksmithing, and everyday life instead of fantasy shortcuts.

What kind of game this is
At its core this is RPG / Action, set in a historical period. Visually it is going for realism, and the overall tone stays dark throughout. The world is open, so wandering off and ignoring the main path is part of the deal. It rewards long uninterrupted stretches more than quick check-ins.
It is genuinely demanding, and repeated failure is part of how it is designed. The narrative carries the whole thing, and the mechanics serve it. It is a single player experience from start to finish. It runs on 3 platforms. It is a full price release.
What stands out
- Uncompromising historical accuracy
- Demanding combat system
- Vibrant medieval Bohemia
This fits you if
- exploring for its own sake is the point for you
- you want to live through a story, not just play a system
- you can sit down for a proper long stretch without interruptions
- you like getting lost and ignoring the main objective for hours
- the writing matters more to you than the mechanics
- you want real resistance and are fine with dying a lot
Look elsewhere if
- you want to relax and not be punished for mistakes

- you only ever get short bursts of play time
- you want something light and easy going
What it costs you in time
