Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is right around the corner
This is going to be a big year in video games, and the first major release is coming out on Tuesday. It’s Kingdom Come: Deliverance II! I played the first one years after release and had a great time, even though I never actually finished. And I’m very excited for the sequel…though I probably won’t buy it on launch. I’m still distracting myself with other games.
Anyway, this is a fun game. It’s the Skyrim/Fallout first-person RPG style, but it trades dragons and sorcery for hardcore realism. This is a game where you have to put on every single strap of armor, from underwear to undershirt to padded jerkin to chainmail to breastplate to gloves to socks to boots to gauntlets to leg irons to all sorts of other details. The detail is insane, and that’s what makes it interesting and unique and, in it’s way, very fun!
I will definitely get this one eventually and just want to spread the good word about how much fun these games are. Check it out and try it out! Very fun stuff.

Some Video Games I’m Interested In
This hasn’t been a very good year for video games for me. Not a lot has come out. And I also made a promise to myself that I wasn’t going to spend a lot of money on games this year. A lot is coming out next year and I can’t wait! Until then, I wanted to share some videos that came out recently showing off the games I am interested in this year.
First up is a quaint little launch trailer for Star Wars: Outlaws. I bought the game on Friday and have been enjoying it so far. It’s not as smooth or as polished as I would have liked, but I was looking for a new open world RPG to play and Outlaws is working for me.
Anyone who wants to play this game but hasn’t bought it yet, I’d definitely recommending waiting a month or two until it goes on steep sale, like most Ubisoft games. I’m enjoying it, but there’s no need to rush into this one.
The next video is for the triumphant return of the Commandos game series! Did anyone else play these games when they were younger? I loved Commandos, and sometime this year we’re getting Commandos: Origins!
At least I hope it comes out this year. I don’t see a release date anywhere. And I hope my aging PC can handle it. Would feel weird to play on console. But I loved these games, and this gameplay trailer looks exactly like those old classics! I don’t need a new update or anything flashy, just gimme more maps and more Nazi punching!
Lastly is the one other game I’m super looking forward to: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2! And this is a full-on 25-minute-long gameplay video.
The first Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a doozy of a game that I never actually finished! So I’m very much looking forward to playing this one completely and for real, to dive into all the medieval combat and storytelling and fun stuff! And it comes out…oh wait, in February! I think they moved the release date back. Oh well. Still a good game to start building hype for.
And those are the three video games that are currently on my radar. All to help me kill time until Grand Theft Auto VI.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is Getting a Sequel!
Have you ever heard of the video game Kingdom Come: Deliverance? I hadn’t until a friend introduced me. It’s like Skyrim, if you replace all the supernatural fantasy stuff with rigid, medieval realism. It’s that same sort of first-person RPG, but these developers are real sticklers for historical accuracy.
For example, in Skyrim, you’ve got three pieces of armor for your head, chest and legs. In Kingdom Come: Deliverance, you’ve got your underwear, your outerwear, protective padding, chainmail and then chestplate…and that’s only for your torso! And each of those pieces of clothing/armor takes damage and needs to be repaired, and can get dirty, which can affect your charisma. And don’t get me started on the insanely steep learning curves for weapon fighting and archery. There’s even a side quest where your peasant character can learn how to read!
Anyway, there’s going to be a sequel this year!
If you don’t have time for that big developer video, here’s the regular trailer.
So I really enjoyed that first game, even though I never finished it. I didn’t have too many games I was looking forward to this year, but Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is definitely high on my list now! I can’t wait to not get a hang of the sword fighting all over again!
The game will come to all systems by the end of the year!
