Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is fantastic. I should know: I spent 70-something hours playing the thing for our Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 review and my only regret was that I didn't have time to play more. It is my strong recommendation, as your videogame physician, that you should play it if you have any interest in RPGs, history, RPGs about history, or kissing everyone in Bohemia.
And what do you know? It's easier to fill that prescription than ever. To celebrate, well, something, KCD2 is playable for free until 10 am PST / 1 pm EST / 6 pm GMT / 7 pm CET on November 10. If you start playing now and don't sleep, you might even make it to the second map.
It's probably the case that the free period is to mark the release of KCD2's Mysteria Ecclesiae DLC on November 11, though I like to pretend it's to mark the November 7 birthday of Leon Trotsky (it sounds like Trosky, you see). Almost as if Warhorse planned it this way, the game is also discounted until November 13—you can pick it up for $36 (£30) until then, if the freeplay allowance lets the game get its hooks into you.
I wasn't kidding with my strong recommendation. If you need more convincing, since its release in February, KCD2 has already taken pride of place as number 13 on PC Gamer's top 100 list of games you should play right now, earning oodles of praise from a number of our writers, like Sean Martin, Andy Edser, and someone called Joshua Wolens, who sounds beautiful.
"Genuinely one of the best RPGs you will play," said our Sean, "with excellent combat, characters, choices, plus a setting its devs obviously care about and have worked hard to do justice." You know what? He's right.
