KCD2 is a very refreshing AA game for the longest time in the midst of AI, remaster, and gameplay replayability.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are a good upgrade from the first game and particularly impressive.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting is very good too, particular that of Tom McKay, who I personally think was robbed by not even getting a nomination at The Game Awards.
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Seriously, the level of optimization they achieved in the massive, populous town of Kuttenberg ought to be studied by game developers everywhere.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But KCD2 actually surprised me with 100-150 fps in Ultra 2K with FSR.
