Almost all praise especially the open world, the detailed representation of the medieval period, and the exciting continuation of the story around Heinrich.
Gamer Escape was completely captivated by the story: “I even found it hard to distract myself for other things when I had to. From beginning to end, I thought about nothing else.”
Dexerto also assures fans that if you liked part 1, you will love part 2: “However, if you were a fan of the first game, there is so much to enjoy here. It’s clearly the game Warhorse wanted to make in 2018, and it’s been improved in so many little ways. Bigger and better, it’s a must-play.”
Is there anything to criticize? Yes, there were some points of criticism. Mainly, there were some slow moments in the story, the first-person perspective, and the unnecessary yet meaningful prerequisite of prior knowledge.
For those who did not play the first part, it may be difficult to build a connection with the characters and potentially follow the story.
Lastly, there were some voices regarding the PS5 version that talked about performance issues and graphical glitches. The site cgmagonline.com stated: “The captivating world and attention to detail held me in the first 10 hours. But after that, the game took a turn. Frequent crashes, graphical glitches, and performance issues began to accumulate.”
