A day before the release of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, gaming journalists published their reviews, and the reception has been quite positive. The game scored 87 on Metacritic, which is an impressive result.

Almost all critics agree that Kingdom Come: Deliverance II improves on the first game in every aspect. It offers a deep and immersive adventure in a vast open world filled with content and interwoven systems. The game is more accessible and newcomer-friendly while still retaining its signature hardcore experience.

Reviewers praised the combat system, calling it one of the standout features. Nearly all of them highlighted the excellent storytelling, featuring memorable characters, unexpected twists, and a genuine soul. Side quests were also highly praised, with some even comparing them to the missions in The Witcher 3.

As for downsides, the most commonly mentioned issue was the presence of visual glitches. While the game is far more polished than the first installment at launch, it’s still not in a perfect technical state.

Journalists estimate that completing the main story of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II takes around 40 to 60 hours, with significantly more playtime for those who want to explore everything. For such an atmospheric game, this is some of the highest praise possible.
