An open-world RPG set in medieval Bohemia, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 takes a slower-paced, down-to-earth, yet occasionally more humorous approach than many of its contemporaries. It’s at its best when protagonist Henry, the lowborn son of a blacksmith and a permanent fish out of water, steps off the beaten path to observe and converse with the game’s mammoth cast, many of whom have a strange story to tell, a bone to pick, or a harebrained scheme to rope you into.
