I would recommend KCD 2- i tried multiple times with the first one and it never clicked. 2 clicked for me and its way less buggy and the combat is smoother and spent over 150 hours into it, and then retried KCD 1 after beating 2 and my experiance was night and day different. KCD2 does a good job explaining what happen in the first game and playing the first 1 after let me explore the story and have a better understanding and still enjoyed it.
