In fact, if there's one glaring fault, it's that the game seems to have an identity crisis.
Watching players beat each other up with severed limbs, or taunt enemies with a chicken, all while spouting out silly one-liners and otherwise leaning into the absurdity of everything, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that there's actually a serious medieval combat game here. The level of violence is so over the top, you can't help but laugh. Running through the battlefield, you'll see knights on both sides still duking it out, despite missing arms, legs, or even combinations of both. 'It's just a flesh wound!' Play a few rounds of Chivalry II, and it's hard not to think of the classic Black Knight scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
