    Chivalry 2 prides itself on its chaotic, yet comedic world. It’s a glorious battle cry for gaming, with its spectacularly vicious combat, amazingly detailed maps and particularly awesome performance on PlayStation 5. An early contender for Game of the Year for sure.

    Chivalrous by name, but certainly not by nature. This team-based medieval multiplayer offers a bloodbath of gore and carnage across several fun modes with tactical combat that’s brutal, fun and satisfying.

    I am having a ton of fun with Chivalry 2. The maps, outside of a few balance issues, are a total blast – everything from the shining armor to the soaring castle walls looks great and there are a huge range of objectives to keep things interesting. Whether I'm swinging a sword or plucking away with a bow, combat hits that elusive sweet spot between accessible dumb fun and rewarding, skill-based mechanics where the wheat is separated from the chaff. When you respawn and everyone around you is spamming the battle cry button as you rush headlong into certain death, you just know you're in for a rockin' time. I don't think I'll be putting away this sweaty coat of mail for a good while.

    Spot rusting aside, Chivalry II's got heart, humour and has polished those combat fundamentals to a high sheen. Providing the devs can hammer out some of the launch day dents quickly, this knight's tale could become the surprise hit of 2021. Give it a shot. Because it's the attacks you don't see coming that'll bowl you over the hardest.

    Despite some uncertainty both on the playful and on the technical level, Chivalry 2 therefore proves to be able to conquer both the old-fashioned fans and the new recruits, among the jerseys of a satisfying, multifaceted and more tactical gameplay than the light-hearted nature of the production do not imply.

    Chivalry 2 is a beautiful, hilarious, and surprisingly deep medieval brawler. If only it offered a few more modes or dynamic battlefield movement, this could be a classic for the ages.

    Chivalry 2 improves upon the original release by a good margin, but it still needs to work out some bugs and kinks. For those looking for some medieval madness, it might be best to wait for some more patches before diving in.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Decent game that is decent fun. At least the developer is trying something new. This is basically a massive multiplayer like Star Wars Battlefront with Medieval weapons. That’s all there is too it.

    The graphics and gameplay are all fine. The game does not look as good as a Star Wars Battelfront game but it does looks better than a free to play game like Planetfall. Kudos for going bright and cheery. Gameplay is some mix of hack and slash. I would remap the buttons but no matter, you can get by with good positioning and stabbing from a distance. A good player will use blocking, turning, and good timing to take out lots of noobs. I will never get past noob level. The control scheme is serviceable for noob purposes. The game has enough humor to make dying and walking back to the front less of a chore.

    Matchmaking is fast and maybe that is only true while the game is popular. Full disclosure: I downloaded Chivalry II because it is a PS Plus monthly game. Sometimes a game will take off when it goes “free”. This could be one of them.

    My issue with the game other than lack of a campaign is the intrusion of an in-game store. You can earn currency by playing the game you already bought or buy currency on PSN. Some players wield wicked looking swords. Are these more powerful? Not sure. The menus make no sense. I don’t know why developers make their games so hard for people to play.

    All-in-all, there is only so much game here. The game is fun to an extent. I personally never enjoyed canon fodder games that much. Still, I’d you want a giant Medieval battle, there is not other game like Chivalry 2.    … Expand

    Fun game but an unbalanced mess. The best melee weapon in the game takes 2 heavy hits to kill but a headshot from a bow is 1 shot? SometimesFun game but an unbalanced mess. The best melee weapon in the game takes 2 heavy hits to kill but a headshot from a bow is 1 shot? Sometimes spawn times can be up to 15 secs when you’re 1 min away from the obj and it only lasts for 10 minutes. They started limiting the number of archer because that’s all anyone wants to be :(… Expand

    This game is a scam. No cross play, you cannot invite people from PC, Xbox, or even ps4.
    **** this company for their lies.
