Good start for Early accs.
About 10-12 hrs of gameplay.
Samewhat ez game.
Hope it will get some sort of end game and quest that are fun not just find think to get other. Also Getting hideouts is useless.

Over all solid casual singleplayer "extraction" game

Also game runs flawlessly

5/10 at best.

Graphics and looks are real nice, But forced DLSS/ any upscaling. On max settings on 5080 not even 100FPS in the 1st apartment.

1st comic cinematic is nice, and campain missions are somewhat good when ppl talks.

Gameplay sucks, the beating systeam witch is the main think you do is not realy good, its just button mashing with nothing really to it. Driveing sucks the model is not fun or realistic.

Lots of bugs, enemies does not spawn a lot. Animations do disconect a lot in fights (somethink happens and you dont see it)

Also its EXTREMLY repetetive. You do only like 4 mission types all over again 2-3 in a day. And thats it.

This game is 9.8/10.

KCD2 is a RPG that delivers on the Role Playing as you would love to see in every RPG.

Story, characters, dialog are real, its not just menu busy work or some background, its funny, deep and it feels like yeah that would be what this character sayed. Not like HR is watching you having conversation.

There are tons of systems that works in the game, that directly effect your game journey. Style of cloathing, your actions toward NPCs.

Combat with melee weapons is so real, you can feel every impact of your weapon on enemy and you can feel the hit you get or block. Sadly its way easyer and more simple than in KCD one, But i see how many ppl have problems even here. You just need to understand it, its not just button mashing like most games.

This review can have like Five A4 pages on every element of the game. But I will cut it short.

KCD2 is The GAME its The RPG you wished you had. Gameplay is briliant, every quest have a meanig, every mechanic in the game really does have impact on you. NPC and the world it self simulate a real world. Design of the world, it looks beautiful and it runs So GOOD even on Older HW you get more than solid FPS. And as last part, at all time you can hear the BEST sound tracks in Gameing history. There are so many songs for avery place, every scenerio you get into, and so many dedicated songs. I had to Add this soundtrack into my playlist next to Legends like Witcher 3, Skyrim, Ovlivion and Frostpunk.

This could have been a huge return for Mafia — it’s not.
TLDR - get it on salve for 20 euros/usd but not for full price. Cliches story and wasted potencial.


Cliché story — every character you think of in the first seconds, like “oh, this guy will die” or “this one’s an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥,” you’re right.
It’s too short to make any real connection to the characters.

Also, the reused Mafia III shooting animations are horrible. When you stop aiming, the character jumps before running, like kids do — why reuse this animation, oh god. Having “eagle vision” like in Assassin’s Creed? At least you don’t have to use it.
Reusing Mafia II’s best tracks is just pathetic. If the story were longer and not so obvious, it might hit the right notes, but now it just tries to play on nostalgia.

There’s unused potential in the great-looking Sicily they created — there could have been some free roam or side missions so you could enjoy it, but there are none. So it’s all for nothing.

On the positives -
Audiovisuals are 10/10.
I’ve never seen such good-looking fabrics, outfits, and buildings in a UE5 game (which gives some hope for The Witcher 4). Gameplay itself is solid.

Techincals -
Game Crashed 3 times, after different cinematics.
Mandotory upcaling making it look horible at times.
(PC: RTX5080, amd amd ryzen 7 9800x3d, 64gigs of Ram )

10/10 - This is the best DLCs I have ever got to a game

New locations are so nice and different from the base game. Also lvl design is peak.
The story is so beutiful, how it all connects, all characters are greatly writen.

New weapons are awesome. I dont know who designed them but this guy need a raise.
You also get some amulets(rings) but most of it is not very special.

New outfits are great as in base game.

Also boss rush and boss rematch mode is what every souls game needs, but somehow this is 1st time I see it done or well done.

Get the DLC

Great game 8/10 (for that price)

Does not try to be something that its not.
Great cars, nice upgreads.
Driving feels great.
soundtrack isnt for me tbh.

I feels strong spirit of NFS Undeground 2

If you like me, feel lack of good arcade racing games this is it.

9.5/10

I am not a huge fan of this art styl, but here its done tastefully. Also the game is fresh, awesome soundtrack that makes your blood pumping, witch is very helpfull agaings enemys.

Can recomend to every FPS player or shooter player.

Pros:
+ Soundtrack
+ Gunplay/ gun looks / lots of options
+ enemy variaty, diferent ways to kill
+ level desing is 90% of the time TOP
+ perks and skills (picked 3 at startd and stayed with them)
+ Awesome voice acting
+ New game plus and replayability
+ So many options in options menu to make it look the way you want

Cons:
- some of the guns feels not worth using
- one lvl is ...... and feel out of place
- it crashed on me about 5 times in 6 hrs (but there are auto saves and F5 quick saves, it wasnt big deal)

TLDR - Game is Good. If you like the 1st one its a must have. Its different but still fun. SoundTrack is 10/10


SoundTrack: Again done by Pioter Musial and its 10/10 Masterpice

Graphics: Very nice but you cant realy feel the city bcs you cant zoom in. Frame Generation is an must have NGL all on max is 60FPS (on rtx2070 all max 25-30FPS without)

Gameplay: its very different but fun, somehow very EZ, 1st play of story on Steward and did not have any problem. Game is very short, sadly. I got about 8-9 hrs of gameplay for story about ¬660 weeks.

Conclusion: Game is fun but short, so much unused potencial, over all 8/10 game.
I am happy to get it, to play it, even in the expensive collection. Game have some problem with saving, it lags and its not good felling. One of the really good games of 2024.

I get this game in sale. I know NFS since was trrash afrter 2011? but i was cheap so why not... Do not waste your Time on this game. boring story, worth like 5 hrs of gameplay.
