<&sol;li>&NewLine; <&sol;ul>&NewLine; <&sol;div>&NewLine; <&sol;div><p>The long-awaited King’s Bounty 2 has finally arrived on our screens&excl; Take note that this is a title that seeks to revitalize its brand after over 20 years of life&period; This is thanks to the partnership between 1C Entertainment and Prime Matter&comma; the new Koch Media label&period; King’s Bounty 2 does not abandon its turn-based tactical <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;bagogames&period;com&sol;post-apocalyptic-rpg-broken-roads-trailer-released&sol;">RPG<&sol;a> soul while trying to take alternative paths&period; The core of the game is hex grid combat&comma; where you deploy your troops and special powers&period; The developers want to inaugurate a new branch of the franchise by implementing a narrative and exploratory sector that brings the entire work closer to more acclaimed and wide-ranging fantasy sagas&period; By doing this&comma; the game will immerse you in a more mature and layered fashion&period; Here is my <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;kingsbounty2&period;com&sol;en&sol;">King’s Bounty 2<&sol;a> review on PC&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"aligncenter size-full wp-image-173441" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;cdn&period;bagogames&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2021&sol;09&sol;14041945&sol;Kings-Bounty-2-2&period;jpg" alt&equals;"King's Bounty" width&equals;"1200" height&equals;"675" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 style&equals;"text-align&colon; center">KINGDOM OF NOSTRIA<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p>From dilapidated villages to the wildest expanses&comma; passing through abandoned ruins and sumptuous cities&period; There is not a single detail of the game world that you cannot admire with awe and surprise&period; While not boasting a graphics sector of the latest generation&comma; Nostria is beautiful from any point you look at&period; Nostria is a work of profession and excellent craftsmanship made of texture and soul&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>They artfully built it in every single detail&period; Nostria is also satisfying for your curiosity needs&period; There are secret trunks and hidden passages in every unthinkable corner of King’s Bounty 2&period; Here you can find money and useful tools for your adventure&period; Take note that <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;1cpublishing&period;eu">1C Entertainment’s<&sol;a> title is not an open-world in the strict sense because of several invisible walls and pre-defined paths&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>However&comma; it is still really so gratifying to get lost in a forest or in the maze of alleys of one of the big cities&period; There are many places to visit&comma; but they are all generally small and with really irrelevant distances between them&period; Is this feature good or bad&quest; It depends a bit on the situations&period; There is a lot to do and explore&comma; and it is certainly positive&period; But&comma; on the narrative level&comma; you might wonder&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>For example&comma; when an <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;bagogames&period;com&sol;free-guy-review-more-than-just-a-game&sol;">NPC<&sol;a> tells you he does not want to travel to the city next door for fear of bandits&comma; you lose a little suspension of disbelief&period; This is because the aforementioned city is literally 10 steps away from him&period; To accompany your adventures in the Kingdom of Nostria&comma; there is an arcane mystery to be solved&period; This is the arrival of an ancient ancestral evil that only you can put a stop to&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>As you may have guessed&comma; the plot of King’s Bounty 2 is nothing more than a classic fantasy story with a good dose of mysteries to solve&period; However&comma; you have some freedom of choice as the story unfolds&period; The results of these choices&comma; however&comma; aim mostly at advancing the statistics of the character and his morality system rather than having a real consistent effect on the narrative path&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"aligncenter size-full wp-image-173442" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;cdn&period;bagogames&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2021&sol;09&sol;14042056&sol;Kings-Bounty-2-3&period;jpg" alt&equals;"1C Entertainment" width&equals;"1200" height&equals;"675" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 style&equals;"text-align&colon; center">CONQUER THE BATTLEFIELD<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p>The setting is certainly the highest expression of King’s Bounty 2&comma; but this does not mean that the game does not have other noteworthy points of interest&period; Let’s start with turn-based combat&period; In the start&comma; I was a bit perplexed&period; The battles did not seem to offer many great ideas&period; Each unit has its particularities made of statistics and passive abilities plus one or rarely two that you can activate&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>This only seemed to affect the fate of a battle with a slight interference of the character’s powers&period; It felt like a fight that was a little too basic in its mechanics&period; This was a little strange for a game that has a long tradition of tactical depth&period; If all this is very true in the first moments of the game&comma; the situation changes after the first few levels&period; Here you get to face fights on more inaccessible terrain&comma; with tougher enemies&comma; and more difficult situations to face&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>In King’s Bounty 2&comma; it is the management of the battlefield that makes the biggest difference to the fate of combat&period; <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;1cpublishing&period;eu&sol;games">1C Entertainment’s<&sol;a> decision regarding the fight scenes left me a little dumbfounded&period; Yet&comma; after having spent tens of hours on King’s Bounty 2&comma; I can approve this choice with flying colors&period; By moving the tactics on the battlefield and not on statistics and levels&comma; the player’s strategic thinking has shifted to an intelligible game of numbers and symbols&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>This does not mean that you must not consider the type of troop&comma; its rank&comma; and its abilities&period; This technical choice of the developers also becomes quite clear when the combat areas are a really nice level design&period; There are heights&comma; gradients&comma; and obstacles that will transform each hexagonal chessboard into a complex work of art&period; You must study each part of the game in order to exploit it to the best of your possibilities&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"aligncenter size-full wp-image-173443" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;cdn&period;bagogames&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2021&sol;09&sol;14042214&sol;Kings-Bounty-2-4&period;jpg" alt&equals;"RPG" width&equals;"800" height&equals;"450" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 style&equals;"text-align&colon; center">AS SLOW AS A SNAIL<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p>The fascination of world-building would be nothing without the many creatures and troops within King’s Bounty 2&period; Another interesting element that strangely distinguishes a strategic game is the detailed clothing of the player that always reflects the objects worn and equipped&period; As I’ve described it so far&comma; 1C Entertainment’s title really looks like a great strategy video game&comma; and it really is&comma; but it’s not without its flaws&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The main HUD&comma; to begin with&comma; is a bit ugly and inelegant&period; It clashes a lot with the setting and annoys exploration&period; Even with reading a message&comma; for example&comma; it’s a bit alienating to read everything on a blue block instead of facing a parchment texture&period; Overall&comma; the character is too slow&period; This would not bother you if there weren’t a lot of backtracking to do to continue from mission to mission&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>I mean&comma; they also made Nostria for beautiful walks&period; However&comma; here&comma; the walks are beautiful the first time&comma; not the next thirty&period; Using the horse speeds up some passages&comma; but the invisible walls of the paths are in the way since the creature has an unresponsive and unconvincing control system&period; In addition&comma; you cannot even use the mount at normal speed in cities&period; This makes your movement even more frustrating&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Luckily&comma; there are shrines that act as checkpoints for fast travel&period; However&comma; there are some areas&comma; like markets&comma; which you will visit very often&comma; that are far from these points&period; This slowness of movement&comma; in reality&comma; also reflects in the slow start of the game&period; My advice is to endure the first few hours of King’s Bounty 2 with gritted teeth&comma; because afterwards it will be really worth it&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"aligncenter size-full wp-image-173444" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;cdn&period;bagogames&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2021&sol;09&sol;14042312&sol;Kings-Bounty-2-5&period;jpg" alt&equals;"" width&equals;"1280" height&equals;"720" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 style&equals;"text-align&colon; center">BUILDING YOUR RANKS<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p>In King’s Bounty 2&comma; there is an excellent system of scores and talents based on the two axes of order&colon; anarchy and power&period; Take note that they blended this well with the provision of skills and new mechanics inside and outside the fight&period; Something that 1C Entertainment must resolve in future support is definitely the money balance&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>This is essential to replenish the ranks of your armies&comma; both to re-establish them and to buy new units&period; However&comma; frequently it seemed a bit too unbalanced in default&period; It happens quite often that after a battle&comma; you spend more money than you earn to treat wounded or deceased troops&period; Then things get complicated if you also consider the movement factor mentioned above&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>You purchase your units at the markets&comma; and there are really a lot of them scattered around different points in the game world&period; The problem is that on the map&comma; the game does not mark which troops are from one trader or another&period; So you should go by heart or&comma; worse&comma; by walking from market to market&period; A <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;bagogames&period;com&sol;little-nightmares-2-review&sol;">nightmare<&sol;a>&excl; The drama&comma; however&comma; comes when you want to try a new type of army&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>When doing this&comma; take note that your new army won’t be as strong&period; This means almost certain death&comma; because you have already completed all the simpler challenges with your stronger army&period; Now the challenges are more difficult as enemies do not regenerate in the game world&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 style&equals;"text-align&colon; center">CONCLUSION<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p><a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;en&period;wikipedia&period;org&sol;wiki&sol;King&percnt;27s&lowbar;Bounty&lowbar;II">King’s Bounty 2<&sol;a> is a truly beautiful game with interesting gameplay insights and exquisite artistic inspirations&period; I absolutely recommend that you try the game whether you like strategy games or enjoy fantasy works&period; Despite its pleasant features&comma; this title does not seem very user-friendly at some points&period; Fortunately&comma; all the negative points I have mentioned are fixable issues&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>I haven’t encountered a lot of bugs on PC other than some frame drops in an advanced game area&period; 1C Entertainment announced that there will be DLC and modular updates&comma; as well as new titles&period; So besides the technical support of this video game&comma; I hope to find new captivating proposals soon&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"aligncenter size-full wp-image-173445" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;cdn&period;bagogames&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2021&sol;09&sol;14042431&sol;Kings-Bounty-2-6&period;jpg" alt&equals;"" width&equals;"1386" height&equals;"780" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><b>Do you want to try <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;en&period;wikipedia&period;org&sol;wiki&sol;1C&lowbar;Company">1C Entertainment&&num;8217&semi;s<&sol;a> King’s Bounty 2&quest; What do you think of my King’s Bounty 2 review on PC&quest;
