Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is called one of the most beautiful games, but they rarely talk about it. There is an opinion that the CryEngine engine surpasses Unreal Engine 5. Where projects on UE5 often suffer from "noisy" shadows and poor performance due to the Lumen lighting system, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II demonstrates good optimization with a high level of graphics. At the same time, the developers managed to achieve an almost photorealistic image without using ray tracing.
The scale and detail of the world is demonstrated by a new video from DS Cinematics on YouTube. The authors showed key locations of the game and did a great job showing the journey through the world. It is noted that there are many authentic and lively locations, and the environment looks not only convincing, but also filled with NPCs with realistic behavior.
