The success of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was also congratulated by other developers, including CD Projekt RED, GSC Game World, 11 bit studios, Bohemia Interactive, and Chris Avellone. CDPR even prepared a cool picture by Anna Przybylska featuring Geralt and Henry.

KCD 2 forum on Steam is drowning in players' arguments

Not everyone liked the success of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. There aren't enough malcontents to significantly impact the game's reception on Steam, but they do effectively disrupt communication on the KDC2 forum on this platform. Right now, the forum is full of threads complaining about the inclusion of a black character in the game or the presence of optional homosexual romances.
