    performance issues. no team balancing, causes one team to lose by far. combat and overall gameplay is buggy and feels not finished(after 2 years of release btw). no chat of any kind if you didnt purchase the game from epic or steam(xbox users and console players cant chat). the only good thing about this game is how it looks and chopping people's head off(only if the game feels like it).

    I have like 50 hours into this game with all classes and it's been an absolute nightmare of a game for every reason other than how cool the maps and weapons are. Extremely disappointing as all games are becoming nowadays.

    Lazy developers that don't care about the game nor about the community, the most toxic community ever, balance doesn't exist so if you are a new player this game doesn't want you to progress, no full crossplay, no anti-cheat, lots of bugs, very bad hit boxes, hits not registering most of the time. Don't buy this game, if you did then refund. Not worth your time.

    It is worse then Chivalry 1
    Netcode and hitdetection seem to be designed to frustrate.
    Can't group Epicgmes and Steam like if it is 1995.
    The keybindings don't do what they are supposed to do.

    There is nothing that I even enjoy about this. The only reason that this game is fun is when you're playing with friends and that is it. I wouldn't recommend unless you have at least 2 to 3 people to play with at a time.

    Game is fun when it's working, however there are flaws even after launch for a long time on EGS. No rebinds for controller, team switching and stacking, while maps with low player counts is still not balanced. I believe I'm playing an early access game before it eventually launch on steam.

    at some maps players spawning behind each others back time after time.
    textures are bad, you stuck all the time. in stairs, in roofs, in stones, cant jump on a 20 centimeters at the river.
    parry frames are stupid, it feels like they just covers the character fully. doesnt matter if i target foots or head guy with active parry is invincible. sometimes i even got blocked when hitting from behind...
    i also took i point from the score for the new map, its pure trash, the worst map in rotation

    so all those factors really negates all the enjoyment and longevity. im playing for about 25 hours now and im not sure a will for much longer. still i give this guys my money for the game and i hope that in future they will make next part better    … Expand

    A more professionally presented game than Chivalry 1 visually with some changes that lower the skill floor to make the game more accessible to new players which is not necessarily a bad thing per se.

    However the game has poor map balance, worse map design than Chivalry 1, worse class balance, worse weapon balance, lots of bugs and things that feel unfinished and wonky since before release that haven't been ironed out. Poor matchmaking (recently fixed to actually back-fill but still frequently places people in the wrong region), seemingly broken server browser (can't find any populated servers in the browser, only through matchmaking).

    Your first couple of hours will probably be positive due to how Chaotic and unique the concept is, but after that you will hit a lack of depth and maps that will make playing very boring. It's also probably why the game reviews so well with critics who mostly base their scores on their early impressions.

    This game was released far too early and the devs very strongly give the impression they have no intention of fixing anything but major bugs, not perform polish (which is what the game badly needs) as well as release cosmetic content and maps which don't present any better balance than the current ones, which feels like a cash grab oriented strategy (the new cosmetics take so long to earn in game that presumably people will purchase them).

    I don't recommend this game, or the developer, in fact, they claimed to be turning over a new leaf and communicating better, but they have rapidly begun behaving much the same as they always have - uncommunicative and insular.    … Expand

    First of all i really want to love this game with all my heart but game is being patched incredibly slowly and every fixed bug makes another 2 appear. Other than that devs don't seem to care about voices of community crying about archery balance, auto balancing of teams or unfair objectives in some maps

    Downgrade in all respects from Chivalry 1, except graphics.

    Negatives: - 64 player mode sounds epic, fun and good, but the objectives are concentrated in an extremely small area, which inevitably becomes a gigantic moshpit. Top of the scoreboard = Whoever can steal the most kills and run away - Parrying is replaced with RMB blocking. Rather than a timed block before the weapon    Downgrade in all respects from Chivalry 1, except graphics.

    Negatives:
    - 64 player mode sounds epic, fun and good, but the objectives are concentrated in an extremely small area, which inevitably becomes a gigantic moshpit. Top of the scoreboard = Whoever can steal the most kills and run away
    - Parrying is replaced with RMB blocking. Rather than a timed block before the weapon strikes, you can instead just hold it and block all attacks. This makes the game far less skillful, and more LMB-spam based. It also means you're going to die essentially if you get ganked, which you will since the player limits are massive and the maps are small
    - Automatic death when out of bounds. Sounds reasonable, but the in-bounds area is way too small, and out of bounds areas are for different teams. I've had it where there are tons of archers perched on a wall as Mason, and if you attack them as Agatha you will be told you're abandoning the battle, meaning you have to leave or your character commits suicide within 20 seconds.
    - The game is extremely buggy. Black screen bug on respawn forcing you to commit suicide, desyncs every other game, fire pots not doing anything, losing side inexplicably winning TDM despite having less kills
    - Variety is nuked to oblivion in this installment. In Chivalry 1, every class had unique abilities and was distinct from one another. Archers were light and mobile, knights had lots of health, vanguards had sprint attack, MAA had dodge. Chivalry 2 decides to go the casual route, as with blocking, instead giving all these abilities to every single class. Now there is nothing unique but health, some weapon choices, and cosmetics, speaking of which...
    - Microtransactions. I don't care. I don't wanna hear the justifications. It's bad and should be removed.
    - Unintuitive menu which makes it difficult to find some of the game modes and server browser. Causes only FFA and 64 Team matches to have players. Duel is dead on arrival.
    - Throwables, like javelins are able to be blocked simply by holding RMB. Makes using javelins, an excellent class in Chivalry 1 virtually useless in this installment. Not to mention their damage output is downgraded.
    - Far less variety in weapon choices
    - Epic Games exclusive for 1 year

    Positives:
    - Good sound design, the maps feel very immersive
    - Good graphics overall.
    - Lag seems to have less effect on hit registration than Chivalry 1.
    - Map design is good

    Overall, I wanted this game to be good. I adored Chivalry 1 and only quit playing because the population declined until it was dead. It's not an inherently bad game at all. In fact, I'd probably consider it a quality game, if it weren't the successor to Chivalry 1. It feels like a cheap game with a much lower skill ceiling, that appeals to casuals who whined about being rightfully killed by better players in the first installments (AoC and Chiv 1). The game has devolved into spamming LMB to win, rather than parrying, chambering, riposting, feinting, and all the other unique aspects of the classes that made the first one great.

    For these reasons, despite it's qualities, it only gets 3/10 from me.    … Expand

    This game had potential to be great. It's not worth where it's at now. It has "cross-play" but no "cross-parties". It is advertised falsely and the developers are slow and not doing a good job. The game is in a really bad state and the servers are not good.

    Core gameplay though is really fun, I would wait for it to go on sale or get to the Steam store next year.

    Day 1 patch delayed two months, and it broke more that it fixed.

    As is, Chivalry 2 features an immersive Team Objective mode that highlights all the best parts of this online multiplayer. The other two modes are okay in moderation and require you to do more button mashing than the precise motions you thought the game wanted you to perform all along. If you can get past some of its blander parts and focus on the joys of mastering swordplay, Chivalry 2 can be a lot of fun despite its weak spots.
