Unlike many medieval RPGs, this video game doesn’t rely on magic, fantastical elements, or fairy-tale-like enemies. Instead, the story it tells is deeply engrossing and grounded in historical reality. The game is set in a real medieval world, featuring historical figures, authentic events, and stunning realism — both in world design and mechanics.

This approach makes the game truly captivating and unique. Its simulation-level realism, which leads to complex mechanics and gameplay, combined with polished graphics and incredible attention to detail, drew players to KCD back in 2019. And the sequel’s launch promises to be even better!

How to Optimize Your PC?

If your game struggles to run smoothly on minimum specs, here are some tips to improve its performance:

  • Update Drivers – ensure your graphics and other system drivers are up-to-date. This often results in noticeable performance boosts.
  • Adjust Graphics Settings – set the graphics settings to “Low,” reduce detail and shadow quality and FPS, and minimize draw distance.
  • Close Background Apps – shut down unnecessary apps running in the background to free up system resources.
  • Upgrade Hardware – if possible, consider upgrading specific components of your PC, such as adding more RAM, upgrading your GPU, or replacing your CPU for better overall performance.
