Gamers have noted the visual similarities between Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and its predecessor, released seven years prior. However, blogger NikTek's detailed video comparison reveals substantial graphical advancements.
The video showcases Warhorse Studios' significant improvements, particularly in animation and physics. Enhanced shaders and textures elevate image quality, but the most striking changes are in character animation and environmental interaction.
Lighting and dynamic weather effects are dramatically improved, clearly visible from the two-minute mark. The seventh minute highlights upgrades to horse controls, while NPC reactions to player actions are demonstrably better around the five-minute point.
While not a complete visual overhaul, these enhancements—improved graphics, realism, and refined physics—promise a richer and more engaging gameplay experience.
