The article reflects on the author's nostalgic experience with The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and compares it to their recent journey in Warhorse Studios' Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. Despite initial reservations about the game's complex and realistic mechanics, the author finds themselves captivated by its immersive open-world experience and early Bethesda-style gameplay. This rekindles memories of an adventurous 'Oblivion summer,' highlighting the challenges and depth that the game offers compared to other more accessible RPGs, ultimately leading to a surprising enjoyment of the title.
Deliverance II is not a game I had pegged as being one of my favorites of the year. But its early-Bethesda-like approach to the genre has captured me.
Fans of the first game and its sequel often talk about the impenetrable systems and mechanics that make up the core experience of Warhorse's historically accurate take on the modern RPG epic.
A game where I have to babysit my protagonist around the clock into eating, bathing, and taking up a job to make ends meet doesn't sound like fun.
The freedom to explore a limitless world full of scary forests, dense cities and settlements, and all manner of interesting people to meet was a new sensation.
