Gamers have noted the visual similarities between Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and its predecessor, released seven years prior. However, blogger NikTek's detailed video comparison reveals substantial graphical advancements.

The video showcases Warhorse Studios' significant improvements, particularly in animation and physics. Enhanced shaders and textures elevate image quality, but the most striking changes are in character animation and environmental interaction.

Lighting and dynamic weather effects stand out, especially around the two-minute mark. Improvements to horse controls are clearly visible at the seven-minute mark, while NPC reactions to player actions are demonstrated at the five-minute mark.

In conclusion, while not a radical overhaul, the enhanced graphics, realism, and refined physics suggest a richer and more engaging gameplay experience.
