• Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is "the eternal game," says Final Fantasy 15 actor: "The perfect encapsulation of what a roleplaying game should be"

  24-08-2026 20:52 via gamesradar.com
  
  Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was my 2025 game of the year and one of my favorite RPGs ever, but having spent more than a year as a beat reporter covering community developments, I'd be naive to think I'm among the game's most diehard fans. My first and only playthrough took me more than 200 hours, and I still haven't seen and done everything. Meanwhile, it's not hard to find RPG fans claiming they've spent more than 1,000 hours in the game with multiple playthroughs.Take Ray Chase, the voice behi
