Is KCD2 worth pushing through the slow start?

Is KCD2 worth pushing through the slow start?

Hey everyone!

I started playing KCD2. I’ve heard from literally everyone online that it’s an amazing game, but I’m honestly struggling with the slow pace and the very long cutscenes.

I feel like the game sometimes takes realism a little too far, especially with the saving system. I know I can install a mod to make saving easier, but I don’t really want to do that because it feels like cheating.

I also have a bit of ADHD, so the dialogue system can be a little overwhelming for me. Whenever I have to choose what Henry should say, I end up thinking, “What should I pick? What will happen if I say this?” and sometimes I spend more time worrying about the choice than actually enjoying the conversation 😂

And the combat… man, what is happening? 😭
I went to Tomcat specifically to learn Master Strike, and the guy barely even gives me a chance to do anything. I’m getting two-shot instantly. Bro, I’m not playing a Souls game, chill 😂

I know I’m probably doing something wrong with the combat, but right now it feels really weird and difficult.
That said, I really want to get into this game because I love a good story and it was in my playlist for a very long time.

So for those of you who absolutely loved KCD2: what are the things that made it worth sticking with? Does it get significantly better as you progress? Any particular moments, systems, quests, or aspects of the game that I should look forward to?

I’m looking for some motivation to push through the slower parts without using mods. 😅

No spoilers please!
