Definitely deserved. I've played it for 10+ hours so far and it's such an improvement on the already excellent first game. It even runs much better on the same hardware.

That's great news, I was worried about performance.

That actually sounds wrong. Do they use the same level of graphics or was the first game optimized THAT badly?

That badly. Updates made it better, though.

Pretty sure the first game was just not optimized very well. I can run KCD2 at a very stable 60+ FPS on my RTX 3060 on high/ultra settings. The first one had about 20 FPS less in comparable environments. Not too surprising, considering that it was the dev team's first CryEngine project. It's notoriously hard to work with.
