Gamers have noted the visual similarities between Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and its predecessor, released seven years prior. To showcase the improvements, blogger NikTek created a detailed video comparison.
The video highlights Warhorse Studios' significant graphical enhancements. Animations and physics show marked improvements. While upgraded shaders and textures elevate image quality, the most striking changes are in character animation and environmental interaction.
Lighting and dynamic weather effects are particularly impressive, as clearly demonstrated from the two-minute mark onwards. Furthermore, the video (around the seven-minute mark) showcases a refined horse control system. NPC reactions to player actions are also more realistic, evident around the five-minute mark.
In conclusion, while not a radical visual overhaul, the enhanced graphics, realism, and refined physics promise a richer and more engaging gameplay experience.
