Incredible game, has a few minor bugs (dog tackling you across the map until you fall to your death when you praise him) and a few other things that aren't as funny.

The Goods:
-Very immersive continuation from the original, I was not once disappointed by the story.
-A lot of different ways to be Henry.
-A good amount of moral decision making (though I only played through once and I can't say for sure any of it matters in the end to the main story).
-Loveable, hateable, relatable, but most importantly; believeable characters (I hate it when games or movies have characters that actions don't match their motives or personalities, really breaks the fiction for me)
-Incredible story based in a medieval historical fiction FPRPG


The Bads:

-It's stupid easy to get rich and progress your stats, in fact I'd say too easy.
Ex.1: You can overburden yourself and gain stats (yes I understand carrying more than you should makes you stronger, but I think it's excessive that you can just carry almost an unlimited amount and get rewarded for it)
Ex.2: Once you know how to make the money, you'll have more than what you can ever do with it, and it easily comes to a point that there isn't actually anything worthwhile to spend it on; the best weapons you can make yourself for DIRT CHEAP, and the best armor is looted off of early to mid game NPCs.
Ex. 3: Maxing charisma is as easy as going to a tailor with a paltry sum of 300 groschen and maybe one or two early game perks.

-The combat is insanely easy, even if you're not "cheesing" it.
During stealth events that had over 30-50+ enemies, I just killed them all instead of sneaking because it was easier to agro every NPC and slaughter them than to play the game properly. The combos are extremely simple because they removed some directions from the combat interface. The perfect block window is wide enough to land a plane inside of. Feinting is nearly unpunishable. I was killing most of my enemies in two hits with a longsword, even though they weren't actually being cut.

Game wouldn't let me ****ING ASK ROSA'S DADDY IF I COULD MARRY HER, she was smart, cute, brave, funny, ****ing A. Even if he said absolutely the **** not, I feel like I should have had the ability to ask so I could have closure on that part.


All in all, aside from finding the game just too easy, minor bugs, the gameplay and the story are amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed playing KCDII (I only play PVP games, and haven't enjoyed many singleplayer games, so this was a real treat). Even though the story does a pretty good job at elaborating the events that happen in KCDI, I STRONGLY recommend playing KCDI first, it will give you a more fine appreciation of this game. If you can spend money on doordashing food, cook a meal for yourself twice and you can easily pay for this almost masterpiece of a game.
