Deliverance 2 with the original as the sequel delivers refined gameplay, combat system, and an immersive open world experience.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 features expansive quest chains that offer players a lot of freedom. There are numerous optional objectives to tackle, as well as skill checks that determine how you approach each task. Some of these moments are also tense and exciting, where making mistakes at crucial points can be downright disastrous.

This tragic tale picks up almost immediately where Kingdom Come: Deliverance left off back in 2018, though I don't necessarily think you need to have played the first one to get up to speed thanks to the main plot being relatively easy to follow and most of the callbacks being well explained as they happen.
