Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is PC Gamer's 2025 game of the year. No wonder. Warhorse's intensely particular historical RPG is already a classic: filled with great characters, a memorable plot, and like a thousand shopkeepers to rob blind in the night.
It's also, says Warhorse co-founder and KCD2 executive producer Martin Klima, a sign of the times. "This game is serious about taking players seriously," he told me in a recent chat, "and I think we can see in the game industry in general, there is a [tendency] towards the games that offer this, kind of, more grown-up approach and offer less hand-holding. I think KCD really fits into that trend."
