Just writing my thoughts and feelings soon after finishing the game and I got to say that it is probably the best game I have ever played. I actually find it incredible in every single way. It is insane to me how good KCD1 and the team managed to make KCD2 even better.
The story is amazing with some hard hitting moments. Serious but also funny, very well written. The combat is such an improvement from the first one. I was feeling in control and it didn't feel like hassle. Missions and quests kept me engaged the whole time and I felt like I had to actually think what I was doing and not just storm in and kill everything. Dialogue mattered and it would help progress the game in interesting ways. The cast of characters is amazing and I cared for all of them and I was also given the chance to learn more about through gameplay. The world building, environment and exploration is honestly the best out there.
All in all I think it is one of those games where you are excited to start, amazed while you play it and regret finishing it, knowing that you just can't experience it all over again for the first time. Simply amazing!
