Some gamers believe Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's visuals are nearly identical to its seven-year-old predecessor. However, blogger NikTek offers a detailed video comparison showcasing significant improvements.
The video highlights substantial graphical enhancements by Warhorse Studios, particularly in animation and physics. Improved shaders and textures elevate image quality, but the most striking changes are in character animation and their interactions with the game world.
Lighting and dynamic weather effects are noticeably improved, especially evident around the two-minute mark. The seventh minute demonstrates upgrades to horse control, while enhanced NPC reactions to player actions are showcased at the five-minute mark.
In conclusion, while not a revolutionary visual overhaul, these improvements in graphics, realism, and physics promise a richer and more engaging gameplay experience.
