So far, the Eurogamer review seems to be the most negative. Written by this person:

Dragon Age: The Veilguard was #7 on her best games of 2024 top 50 list.

So how do I interpret this? I'm confused.

So nobody tested or talks about gay shit? It is in the game? Did Vavra invent it all as marketing ploy?

Some reviews are just bizzare. How do you write this:

Every element of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II melds together into an intense, thoughtful adventure unlike anything I’ve ever experienced in gaming. Politics, intrigue, and action. The ultimate recipe for a solid story-based RPG, something Kingdom Come: Deliverance II seeks to provide and achieves. Warhorse Studios has created a simulation of a historical period we often don’t see or experience in games. As Hans Capon says, audentes fortuna iuvat, or “fortune favours the bold”, and Warhorse Studios have proven they are bold, and fortune will favour them through the triumph that is Kingdom Come: Deliverance II.

And then give it "solid 8 out of 10" ?

Mort "Veilguard is my personal GOTY" ismal, now that's whose opinion I want to know about KCD!

It's not even his 100% bullshit that triggers me. It's the fact that there was never ever a single game this guy did not like in one form or another. He can shill some redeeming factor even in the most abhorrent games.

Some outlets very clearly only give 9s and 10s to AAA+ games. Nothing surprising about this, that's why none of these reviews are worth shit.

It seems like Say Gex allegations didn't matter.

What are you on about? The journos love that stuff. Vavra set out to appease the journos and their woke mob that tried to cancel the first one and so he did. Good job, I guess.

But I can say that KCD2 is a more sensitive, curious and irresolute portrayal than you might guess from either the previous game or from the self-defeating gator-baiting of Warhorse's co-founder Daniel Vavra. Its society is diverse: during his adventures, Henry gets to pick the brains of a Jewish merchant, speak to a Black noble from Mali, and run errands for a community of Roma travellers. The game portrays bigotry and gives you the opportunity to question it or go along with it. The writing also appears to respond to some of the criticisms levelled at the original Deliverance: there's an early quest devoted to humanising, if not necessarily redeeming, the Cumans who were once depicted as faceless outsiders.

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.

Probably because there was some texture clipping in the 100 hours grand epic adventure that became an unforgettable gaming experience for him and also he forgot to save once and twice and lost progress so bad design.

If you come to a restaurant and the cook dumps a can of luncheon meat on your plate you immediately know he's an incompetent idiot. It's harder to spot those gaming journos who'd be better off flipping burgers.

The gaming journalist reviews don't mean shit, it's the user reviews that count really in that regard.
That said the game appears to be selling like hot cakes, on the Steam chart it was second after some f2p game at some point. We'll see how many people refund it after getting the first hint of homolust, but I'm betting that's something you'd have to actively pursue to see so most people will miss it.

This game will be the end of this studio and the reputation of Vavra himself. All signs are in the sky. Some people see them, others don't. Irrelevance. You can't change destiny.


As a professional astrologer and tarot enjoyer I do not intend to discuss the visions sent to me by Apollo himself. Simply, when the prophecy comes true, I will post photos of His divine penis on your profiles.

If you think about it, Henry kingdom coming in another man's butt is a lot manlier than fucking a girl.
