Kingdom Come: Deliverance II review

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II ranks first because it does the most to put a player inside a real medieval place and period. Warhorse Studios describes it as a story-driven action RPG with a rich open world set in 15th century Medieval Europe, and you again play Henry, the blacksmith's son from the first game. It is the strongest-reviewed new release on this list: 92% of 69,174 English Steam reviews are positive, and the Steam page shows a Metacritic score of 89. Full controller support, Steam Cloud saves and full voice acting in seven languages make it easy to start. The cost is hardware: the minimum spec calls for 16 GB of RAM, a GTX 1060 6 GB or RX 580, an SSD and 100 GB of free space, and the recommended spec jumps to 32 GB of RAM and an RTX 4070. It is also single-player only, so players who want to fight friends should look at Bannerlord or MORDHAU.
