2025 has brought players several excellent new games so far, but without a doubt, one of its best is Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 — a long-awaited sequel to the original 2018 open-world RPG that puts players in the shoes of an orphaned young adult as he navigates his thirst for revenge and a flaring civil war in medieval Bohemia. It's a remarkably well-balanced experience with exciting adventure, harrowing loss, levity, and some of the most immersive RPG systems and mechanics I've ever engaged with — and earlier this week, many of its fans banded together to give others the chance to enjoy it without spending a penny.
It all started with a thread on the r/kingdomcome subreddit titled "Can't afford the game? I've got you." Its author u/verdantsf explained that they wanted to pay forward a kindness a friend had shown them during hard times.
