In the realm of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the first story DLC, Brushes with Death, offers a lukewarm return for eager fans. While the DLC showcases strong dialogue and open-ended exploration, it lacks the punch needed to truly captivate players. The low-stakes narrative feels like a mere side quest rather than a compelling addition to the main campaign, leaving players yearning for more depth and substance. Starting the DLC with an endgame save may not provide the ideal experience, as it fails to immerse players in the overarching conflict of the game.
The pacing of Brushes with Death feels somewhat disjointed, with quests often devolving into repetitive tasks that lack the depth and complexity found in the base game. Despite introducing nuanced decision-making and the ability to customize shields, the rushed character development and lack of significant action moments leave players wanting more. The DLC may have fared better if experienced as part of a fresh playthrough rather than a late-game addition, allowing for a more immersive and cohesive experience. Some players also encountered graphical bugs that detracted from the overall enjoyment of the DLC.
In conclusion, while Brushes with Death offers a glimpse into the medieval world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, it falls short of delivering a truly captivating experience. The DLC's lackluster narrative and pacing issues may leave players feeling underwhelmed, especially when compared to the grandeur of the main campaign. Despite its strong dialogue writing and open-ended adventuring, Brushes with Death struggles to make a lasting impression, ultimately leaving players craving a more substantial and engaging gameplay experience.
