Gamers have debated whether Kingdom Come 2's visuals represent a significant upgrade over its seven-year-old predecessor. To clarify these differences, blogger NikTek has created a detailed video comparison showcasing the game's evolution.

The video highlights substantial graphical enhancements by Warhorse Studios. Improvements are particularly evident in animation and physics. While upgraded shaders and textures enhance image quality, the most striking changes involve character animation and their interactions within the game world.

Lighting and dynamic weather effects stand out, notably around the two-minute mark. Furthermore, the video (at the seven-minute point) demonstrates improvements to horse controls. NPC reactions to player actions are also noticeably improved, as seen at the five-minute mark.

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