Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 players in awe of one stand-out feature

Game developers have been busy at the beginning of 2025 with terrific titles being released. One of them, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, absolutely stole players’ hearts, and many of them believe it’s a contender in the Game of the Year race, especially thanks to one element.

On Feb. 17, Warhorse Studios shared it had already sold two million copies of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. As a result, many players started sharing their personal experiences with the title. A lot of them have been agreeing it’s a frontrunner in the GOTY races due to its immersion and attention to detail.

“I was sold on GOTY when I took everything from the guard while he was sleeping and when the two other guards woke him up in the morning he just sat on the bed all confused and said ‘that fucker even took my shoes,’” the post on Reddit reads. “I stole some armor and didn’t think anything of it. Walked past the same guard later on, and he was like ‘hey this fuckers wearing MY clothes get him!’ 10/10 GOTY,” a top comment added.

Players throughout the thread were wowed with the new Kingdom Come‘s focus on detail and how your actions affect the world and lives of the NPCs in it. One person went as far as comparing it to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for the first time, and they weren’t alone in making the connection to one of the biggest game franchises of all time. “Never played a game like this before, it’s like playing Skyrim back in 2011 but better,” one fan said.

The majority of those who have played Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 themselves shouldn’t be surprised with its positive reception. It’s amassing terrific reviews from both journalists and players. At the time of writing, its PC version has an 88 critic score with an 8.5 user score on Metacritic. In our own review of the title, Dot Esports’ Zack Palm gave the game a 9.5 out of 10. “It’s the most fun I’ve had in a medieval RPG in a long time,” he wrote.

Obviously, it’s too early to talk about the Game of the Year awards. The year has barely begun and there are a lot of major releases left, including Grand Theft Auto 6, Borderlands 4 (2K will have a busy fall), and Mafia: The Old Country, just to name a few. Nevertheless, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has been making a strong case for itself, and its detailed roadmap won’t allow players to forget it the rest of the year.
