Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 begins as protagonist Henry faces unexpected challenges following an ambush that strips him of his gear. Unlike typical RPGs, where players quickly gain powerful weapons and items, Henry starts with minimal resources, leading to difficult encounters. Players are required to invest effort into every achievement, whether it's acquiring basic armor or securing a night at an inn. This intentional difficulty creates a rewarding sense of accomplishment, standing in stark contrast to more forgiving games that offer instant gratification.
By the time Henry is free to actually explore the open world, all that's left at his disposal is a basic set of clothes, a sword, a few apples, and a set of dice.
Victory can be satisfying, but when it comes too easily, it feels like empty emotional calories. Kingdom Come made me work for every victory, even ones as small as getting proper armor.
