Stepping Back in Time (Without the Dragons)
For the uninitiated, Kingdom Come is an open-world RPG set in 15th-century Bohemia. You play the role of Henry of Skalitz, and his journey is full of everything from romance down to heavy combat-all driven by a search for revenge. What really separates Kingdom Come is the commitment to historical accuracy. Forget your elves and dragons-this game focuses on a very earthy, human experience-thankfully, they didn't get *too* bogged down in historical minutiae. You won't find any mythological creatures, just good ol' human drama and conflict.
Ready to Dive In
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is now out on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with even various editions if extra in-game goodies are your thing. If you were on the fence, it seems like this is the best time to jump in and see what all the fuss is about.
