is shaping up to be almost everything that returning fans could want from a sequel. A follow-up to the 2018 medieval role-playing game (RPG) , it offers not only a direct continuation of its predecessor’s story, but a significantly larger world and noticeable mechanical improvements across the board. With an adventure that spans two massive open-world maps - one based on the beautiful landscapes of the Bohemian Paradise and the other encompassing the medieval city of Kuttenberg - I spent almost four hours with an early build of the game to get a taste of what’s in store.
This involved getting to grips with its dramatic opening chapter before jumping forward to a point much further on in the story to discover what life in a medieval town has to offer. A new(ish) beginning Henry once again returns as the protagonist, having fully transformed from an everyday village boy into a medieval hero over the course of the previous game. The narrative picks up mere moments from where it left off, with Henry traveling to a castle to deliver an important letter with his friend Hans Capon.
As you can probably imagine, things don’t go to plan and your party is soon attacked by bandits. With their allies killed, Henry and Hans are able to narrowly escape but suffer serious injuries. These dramatically affect your combat abilities, not to mention other key stats, setting Henry back and ensuring that he still has plenty of development ahead of him.
You’re no longer the skilled soldier, .
