Video: How the graphics and animation have changed in Kingdom Come 2 compared to the first installment

Gamers have debated whether Kingdom Come 2 boasts significantly upgraded visuals compared to its seven-year-old predecessor. To settle this, blogger NikTek offers a detailed video comparison showcasing the game's evolution.

The video reveals substantial graphical enhancements by Warhorse Studios. Animations and physics display marked improvements. While upgraded shaders and textures elevate image quality, the most striking changes are in character animation and environmental interaction.

A key upgrade is the lighting and dynamic weather system, particularly evident around the two-minute mark. Furthermore, the video highlights a revamped horse control system at the seven-minute mark, and improved NPC reactions to player actions at the five-minute mark.

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