This article contains minor spoilers for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

All events discussed take place before the wedding.

The beginning of 2025 has been defined by nothing being easy.

I dont mean in my real life, thats been basically the same as 2024, i.e.

some stuff is easy, some stuff is hard, play games for a living, can’t complain.

Doing Everything The Hard Way

This is a game where everything takes longer than you expect.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Might Just Be A BioWare RPG

Need to fill up your food meter?

Prepare to stand in front of a pot, taking individual spoonfuls until youre full.

For a more in-depth example,I’m finally getting around to going to the wedding.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Naoe and Yasuke Overlooking A Valley

This isn’t a criticism of the game.

All of these quests were extremely interesting, and I had a good time doing them.

There’s nothing as funny as being confidently wrong.

Henry of Skalitz from Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 points an arrow at Yasuke from Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Done, got the dress, rode it back across the map to her.

Eventually I found the right match, and was finally ready.

Within the structure of great, well-written quests, but chores all the same.

hey Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Buff My Brain To A Shine

Im loving this game.

It will probably be near the top of my GOTY list when all things are said and done.

Can you imagine how easy getting those wedding clothes would be in Assassin’s Creed?

Triple-A Games

You’d fast travel to the vendor and the items you needed would be highlighted in the menu.

It would take zero effort or brain power.

I will probably end up liking all three of those games more thanAssassin’s Creed Shadows.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Sometimes, that’s nice.

Lobster is great, but often you just want a McDouble.

It still tastes good, and it’s a lot less work to eat.

Now we just need the dialogue choices to actually matter.
