Too Difficult or Just Too Long? Two Weeks into Release, Only 8% of Players Completed Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has been a massive success. The game has sold over two million copies within two weeks of its February 4 release. But according to game director Daniel Vávra, only 8% of players have reached the end of the game. It’s been a little over two weeks since the game came out so it is a little surprising.

Is the game too long? Or too hard? According to players, it’s a mix of both. The difficulty of the game has turned off a lot of people, but some players have reported that they’ve spent 100 hours in just the first region alone. Either way, it doesn’t make the game’s success any less impressive.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a big game, there’s no doubt about it. The game is filled with side quests and a fresh, lively world. KCD2 offers two large regions to explore and takes a while to complete. The early estimate for a standard playthrough is already about 60 and 80 hours and if you’re a completionist, expect to be well past the 100-hour mark.

According to achievements, so far, around 8% of people finished KCD2 and it takes around 90-120 hours to do so

Players are reporting that they’ve spent a hundred hours on just the first region alone. Others say that they are deliberately avoiding finishing the game to prolong the experience. So the consensus seems to be that no one is rushing through the game, they are taking their time with quests, and exploring every detail of this potential Game of The Year contender. But is length the only reason?

Unlike many RPGs, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 does not offer an easy mode, meaning all players must engage with its challenging combat and survival mechanics. The game has no difficulty settings and the combat is hard to adjust to as players have found themselves struggling even against basic enemies.
