PC Gamer's 2025 GOTY adalah milik Anda seharga $24 yang menggelikan selama Obral Musim Panas Steam

If you've been on the fence about Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 for one reason or another, this is the best moment yet to play PC Gamer's 2025 Game of the Year. As part of the Steam Summer Sale, Warhorse is offering the deepest discount yet on its open-world medieval sandbox—you can pick up Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 for $24 or snag the Royal Edition, which includes three DLC story packs, for $32.

We called KCD2 "a new RPG classic" in our 90% review—an expansive Bohemian adventure that carries the torch for weird and varied clockwork worlds. It's not a fantasy game, yet it's the most Oblivion-like RPG you'll find these days. It also has some of my favorite aspects of The Witcher 3, like deep conversations, romance, and varied side quests that often outshine the main story.

As for those DLC packs, I can't yet speak to them. Joshua enjoyed the first one that added shield painting, but thought it felt a bit slight. I've heard better things about the forge expansion and the monastery questline, but I'm saving those for an in-progress hardcore mode replay.

To coincide with the sale, Warhorse also released a patch today that, along with bugfixes, adds a free new quest called "A Jester's Visit."

"A peculiar Jester has started to appear in front of the Hangman's Halter Tavern shouting about a strange new game. A new quest awaits." Considering the accompanying art, I'd say Henry is about to get foolish.

It's also worth noting that the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance from 2018 has an even deeper sale going on—just $6 for the main game and $8 to add on all the DLC. You might be wondering if you need to play it before considering the sequel, and I'm here to tell you: no, not really.

I've started and stopped on the original KCD on at least four occasions over the years, and what kills my momentum every time is its clumsy combat and bland towns. Many swear by it and I wouldn't dare stop them, but KCD2 is the much better game. You won't miss out by diving straight in—the story has almost nothing to do with the original and its opening hours assume you're new to the series.

There's a lot more on offer in Steam's biggest sale of the year—check out Andy's roundup of the highlights.
