Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2Legacy of the Forge DLC has finally come and given players the opportunity to rebuild the blacksmith where Henry's adoptive father Martin spent the best days in his youth. After DLC as the first game is from the Ashes expansion, Legacy of the Forge player not only sees rebuilds and open the smithy but also adapt it, as well as the surrounding area and their very own private neighborhoods. It is extremely ambitious for a DLC, but it effectively encompasses the cozy side that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Previously, only flirted.
Despite its Stardew Valley-Like gameplay -loop, however Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2Legacy of the Forge DLC lacks one of the most popular time -liked for many cozy games and RPG. Certainly, players can adapt everything from how their forge looks to the passive bonuses they get from some furniture, and they can even ignore everything else in the game and spend their days doing a fairly penny by carrying out various guild activities for citizens of Kuttenberg. But with all the cozy vibbs it gives to the game, Legacy of the Forge somehow did not pursue fishing with it.
Legacy of the Forge adds cozy but leaves fishing on the beach
Cozy game comparisons just go so far
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Is not really an action -filled game in any way, but it is not completely relaxed either. Still, almost everything about Legacy of the Forge is relaxed, which means that players can get some downtime with activities such as blacksmith, adapt their forge and get to know the different members of the blacksmith in Kuttenberg. Many of its systems are similar to those found in popular cozy titles such as Stardew ValleyWhich gives DLC a distinct identity compared to the main campaign. In fact, Warhorse even said about the inheritance from Forge during a live stream before the emissions, “it's like Stardew ValleyBut slower. “
Unfortunately comparisons with games like Stardew Valley In the end, shelter what's lacking from Forge. It was never meant to be Stardew ValleyBecause it is still the historically accurate Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and is therefore limited in what it can give to the table. Nevertheless, the tools for crafts and adaptation are well realized, but the inability to spend a lazy afternoon in the game at a river really shows the limitations of the heritage from Forge's cozy exterior.
The most obvious feature is still not here
Fishing has long been a natural fit for The kingdom is coming series. There are not only fishermen, but also the map teases players with marked “fishing space” places. Notwithstanding, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2Legacy of the Forge DLC failed to add a fishing system, although it would have been perfect to do so. More than any dlc before it, and more than the one in front of it, Legacy of the Forge, of all things, looked to finally get fishing to happen in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
Instead, fishing is still absent, which makes it feel at this time as a deliberate failure rather than a simple surveillance. Its absence speaks higher in a DLC so focused on the peaceful side of medieval life. The hope is now resting on the game's next extension, where adding fishing can both improve immersion and follow a tease that has been around since the series began. However, it would be strange for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2The next DLC, Mycsia Ecclesiae, to add fishing to the game when its cozy expansion didn't.
