What it is

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a first-person, story-driven action RPG set in a historically grounded 1403 Bohemia during a civil war, following a young man named Henry across a large open world of villages, forests and the city of Kuttenberg. Gameplay mixes realistic melee and ranged combat, horseback riding, hunting, crafting (alchemy, blacksmithing) and deep dialogue and reputation systems. The game contains frequent realistic violence with blood and brutal killing, sexual activity and full nudity, extensive coarse and sexual language, heavy alcohol use plus herbal narcotics and potions, a crime system where the player can steal, poach and murder, and depictions of harsh medieval punishments such as caning, branding and the pillory. It is single-player with no online interaction or in-game purchases.

How it's framed

The game presents its violence, crime, drinking and harsh punishments as part of a realistic, morally grey depiction of the late medieval period rather than glorifying them; the player's choices carry social and legal consequences, and crimes can lead to punishment or the need to talk one's way out.
