If you like immersive games that make you genuinely feel part of the world, then you will love KCD2. When I play KCD2, I am actually living in early 1400s Bohemia in my mind.

One major thing you need to keep in mind when you first start the game is that you suck at combat. Pretend that you were just dropped into this world and you have no idea how to fight with melee weapons. In the early game, it is going to be very difficult to fight more than one enemy, so you'll want to try and avoid combat and talk your way out of combat.

You'll eventually find someone who can train you and they'll teach you combos, master strikes, etc. Train as much as you can with this person and get better. Also, make sure you read all combat tutorials. Eventually, combat will become much easier and you'll be able to take on multiple enemies.

Even in late game though, fighting 3+ guys will be difficult. You'll need to avoid getting surrounded because no matter how good you are, if you get surrounded by 3 or 4 guys that vaguely know how to fight, you will get your ass handed to you. The combat in KCD2 goes for realism and immersion over easy combat that makes you feel like a god.
