Medieval action and 4x strategy combine to form a strong release week on Steam!
This week is written on Steam history – in the truest sense of the word. Two absolute highlights kidnap you in the past: a realistic medieval role-playing game and a strategy weight weight that reinterprets historical eras.
In addition to these two hot -expected blockbusters, more exciting releases are waiting for you. In the following you will find out what the two historical titles offer and what other releases would like to find their way into your Steam library.
The highlights of the week
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
57:15
Kingdom Come 2 becomes a genre milestone – at least in the first 10 hours
Genre: Role play | Developer: Warhorse Studios | Release: February 4, 2025 (Steam)
In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 you slip into the role of Heinrich again, who is looking for his fate in the extensive and detailed medieval Open World of Bohemia.
On the one hand, the gameplay relies on authentic swords that are managed in the first-person perspective-precise timing when blocking, avoiding and countering decides on victory or defeat. Thanks to an innovative damage and exhaustion system, you can feel the effect of every blade and parade.
In addition to intensive duels, the game offers an open world in which you can explore historical locations such as villages, castles and plenty of nature – but it is best to convince yourself with our walk through Bohemia:

Your decisions also have a sustainable effect on the course of the story, side quests and political intrigues give the medieval experience additional story depth.
Here a role-playing milestone could be emerging that competes in terms of quality with The Witcher 3, because the first ten hours of play have completely convinced us. You will find out in our detailed test report whether the game maintains this high standard across the entire playing time – but until then we recommend our preview to you again:
Sid Meier’s Civilization 7
12:17
Civilization 7-Founded video: First conclusion after 30 hours with the test version
Genre: 4x strategy game | Developer: Firaxis | Release: February 6, 2025 – Advanced Access for Certain Editions (Steam)
Sid Meier's Civilization 7 brings a lot of fresh wind to the renowned strategy game series – and that caused plenty of discussions in advance.
This time you guide your civilization through three striking age: Antiquity, discovery and modernity. Each age offers unique challenges and opportunities, because with every new era you have to choose a new culture.
Another important innovation is the possibility of combining leaders and civilizations independently. For example, you can take Benjamin Franklin to the top of the Maya Empire or let Emperor Augustus Russia lead. So you can create a lot of unique combinations and try out different strategies, but Purists will certainly set up the neck hair with this thought.
Our test for CIV 7 is also imminent and until then we recommend a look at our preview, for which we have already played for 30 hours:
