Some gamers believe Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's visuals are nearly identical to its seven-year-old predecessor. However, blogger NikTek's detailed video comparison reveals significant improvements. The video showcases Warhorse Studios' enhanced graphics, particularly in animation and physics. Improved shaders and textures elevate the image quality, but the most striking changes are in character animation and their interactions with the environment.
The video highlights dramatic improvements in lighting and dynamic weather, especially noticeable around the two-minute mark. At the seven-minute mark, the upgraded horse control system is clearly visible. NPC reactions to player actions are also more realistic, demonstrated around the five-minute mark.
In conclusion, while not a revolutionary visual overhaul, the enhanced graphics, increased realism, and refined physics promise a richer and more engaging gameplay experience.
