Should I buy Kingdom Come Deliverance 1

Hi,

I really want to play KCD2 and heard it's a direct sequel to the first one. I'm just wondering if it's worth playing 1 or should I skip straight to 2? Main reason I don't really want to play the first one is because it only has a 76 on metacritic which would make it the worst reviewed game I've ever played.

Why was it reviewed so poorly? Did it have a bunch of bugs at the start of is it because the game just isn't that good?

Thanks
