Pros

  • 89 on both Metacritic PC and OpenCritic
  • Large Steam recommendation base
  • Treated as a major 2025 RPG by review volume

Cons

  • Simulation friction still a taste question the aggregates do not erase

Both aggregators agree on 89

This is a review roundup — GearChamber has not played Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. Consensus score: 89 (Metacritic PC and OpenCritic 2025 PC average both 89).

Warhorse’s sequel launched 4 February 2025. It is one of 2025’s most-reviewed narrative RPGs on PC, with Steam recommendations past 140,000 at our check.

Consensus shape

An 89 with that many reviews usually means: the first game’s jank tax fell, the world got bigger, and combat/systems landed closer to what Warhorse promised in 2018. OpenCritic parks it alongside Monster Hunter Wilds and Blue Prince in the 89 band — excellent, not untouchable.

Steam’s recommendation count is the player-side echo. This roundup is not a substitute for reading a full combat deep-dive if simulation-RPG friction is your red line; it is a map of where the scored press landed.

Consensus

Strong buy for fans of the first game and for historically grounded RPG seekers. Not the 94 club — and the aggregates are honest about that.
