"Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Scores 87/100 on Metacritic"

The gaming community is buzzing with excitement as Kingdom Come: Deliverance II receives overwhelmingly positive reviews just a day before its release. With an impressive Metacritic score of 87, it's clear that this sequel has struck a chord with critics. Nearly all reviewers agree that this sequel enhances every aspect of the original game, delivering a rich, immersive adventure set within a sprawling open world brimming with content and intricately connected systems. The game strikes a perfect balance, making it more accessible for newcomers while preserving the challenging gameplay that fans loved from the first installment.

One of the most lauded elements is the combat system, which has been hailed as a standout feature. Critics have also showered praise on the storytelling, noting its depth with compelling characters, surprising plot twists, and a heartfelt narrative that truly resonates. The side quests have received special mention, with some reviewers drawing comparisons to the acclaimed missions in The Witcher 3.

However, it's not all perfect. The most frequently cited downside is the presence of visual glitches, although the game is significantly more polished than its predecessor at launch, it still falls short of technical perfection.

This extensive playtime, combined with the game's atmospheric quality, has been met with some of the highest praise imaginable in the gaming world.
