Wow, I honestly can't believe they're still patching and improving this game after all these years. After being disappointed with The Guild 3—especially being able to kill, rob, and terrorize people with barely any meaningful consequences—I decided to come back to The Guild II: Renaissance. I was genuinely surprised to find out that the game is STILL receiving bug fixes and improvements in 2026. It's rare to see an older game getting this kind of attention so many years after release. Huge respect to the developers and THQ Nordic for continuing to support it. I'm a huge fan of THQ Nordic from now on. Keep up the great work!
As has been mentioned - this game is brilliant in principle - but let down somewhat by less than stellar production. Fortunately, the modding scene provides significant remedy for the Renaissance version of Guild 2. The unmodded game is worth it just for the originality and depth. With a mod pack making the game playable this is an essential part of any gamers chest.
The Guild 2 has always been an amazing game. It was old and it definitely showed but you could tell the Developer really put thought into everything. Of course being old it meant that you got what you bought. all the bugs and issues were forever going to be present.... Until that is some updates started making its way to my recently updated page. At first they were small and suddenly they were Huge with changes and updates to include completely new content. Come to find out a Team of individuals who loved the Guild 2 has recently started updating and redeveloping this Gem of a game. The updates have been constant and of amazing quality for a game that is so old and forgotten. I can't recommend this game highly enough. With the Official patch MOD and the constant updates and reimagining of the systems I am hooked like I haven't been hooked since I first started playing this game. Keep it up Developer Team!! I am writing this review specifically because of the love they have showed recently in hopes that new players may give this game a shot. The learning curve is high but its well worth it.
The Guild 2 Renaissance - one of the best games ever, a classic, even with the bugs that plagued it for so many years. But now, a dedicated team of modders/devs started to update this game, solving many bugs, and introducing new content for the base game, after so many years since its release. If you are a fan of medieval rpg-sim-dynasty-economic-political game, than this is the game for you, as long as you accept that it is an old game, with old, but beautiful even today, graphics. This game is very immersive, and once you pass the learning curve, you will always return to it. Congratulation to the new team that is updating this game now!
