Your character levels up but the game throws 5 enemies and a dog at you if you dont follow the main quest. And even if it does throw only 2 enemies at your, one is a master swordsman countering your every move. I played for hours to get max level, training at Bernhard, just to get a chance. But you dont get that if you dont follow the main quest. Everyone will cut your throat.
I loved the first one, even though combos were impossible to manage, but the second one is just stupid. The hero forgot everything, the dog walks in between me and the enemy in close combat and is then running away because he got hit. Then the dog stays in doorframes and you have to find the correct pixel to slip through. HOW can you mess this up, this is Skyrim stupid. Maybe worth 20€s, if you liked the first game. Should be called Kingdome Come: Resemblence
The tutorial is lacking. Its youtube videos by other people because there is only a really basic one. Laying down tracks is annoying as hell, stopped playing after like 3 hours because i could not put down tracks as needed. Dont buy, play the open source Transport Tycoon instead, way more fun
