    This game, familiar yet creatively unique, wonderfully delivers a level of enjoyment that you couldn't find in other AAA games. It's an incredible masterpiece.

    One of the best games I have played: If you engage with it and take its hand, you are in for one hell of a ride. If you let it, it can be very immersive, and about a third of my 300h I spent just roaming around admiring the world. I am not good at writing reviews, but Warhorse is hella good at making experiences and memories.

    I haven't been so enamoured with a game in years. It does have a steep learning curve, the the challenge kept me hooked. Even 40 hours into the game a band of peasants can still catch you off guard and kill you.

    It plays amazingly, on the Steam Deck too.

    The only negative is maybe the wonky but thematic save system, but other than that. Play this game!

    I'll preface this review with a warning: this game is quite rough around the edges. Two years after release, there are still bugs that will cause the game to crash, conversations to freeze (turning into a somewhat hilarious staring contest at times), and--albeit rarely--equipment to disappear. These issues are amplified by the fact that you have to use a consumable item, Savior Schnappes,I'll preface this review with a warning: this game is quite rough around the edges. Two years after release, there are still bugs that will cause the game to crash, conversations to freeze (turning into a somewhat hilarious staring contest at times), and--albeit rarely--equipment to disappear. These issues are amplified by the fact that you have to use a consumable item, Savior Schnappes, in order to save your game. To be fair, I will note that there is also the ability to Save & Quit, but this save disappears the next time you boot up the game.

    In spite of all this, I've had a ridiculous amount of fun with KCD. it's extremely immersive, and there's a huge payoff when you finally "get" the combat and start countering your foes with relative ease. Spending time learning alchemy and the ability to read as early as you can will help, as the ingredients to brew your own game-saving Saviour Schnappes are relatively easy to come by and a later quest will damn near require at least some familiarity with this system. The potions you can create with it are the closest thing the game has to "magic", with potions that temporarily increase various stats, boost your health, or even allow you to see better in the dark.

    I received Kingdom Come: Deliverance from a Humble bundle and frankly expected it to feel fairly generic, but I have found the historical aspect and absence of common fantasy tropes quite refreshing. There aren't very many RPGs quite like it in that respect, and it makes for a unique experience that pulled me in like few games have before. Overall, I would recommend KCD to anyone with an interest in the medieval era or open-minded fans of The Elder Scrolls and similar games.

    I love this game more than anything. The historical accuracy is top notch [although, the lack of jewish characters in 15th century bohemia is laughable].

    This is a realistic medieval adventure, which can also be defined as a hardcore first-person action rpg with stealth. Story-rich, historically accurate and no fantasy elements at all. A dream come true for many people.

    Briefly.
    Pros: gameplay, medieval realism and aesthetics, open-world full of quests, story and character development.

    Cons: loading times.
    At release this game had many problems, but all of them were fixed with patches.

    In detail.

    This is an open-world non-linear game (except for the main quest), which lives by itself and looks beautiful. There is always a lot of options what to do and a good amount of interesting quests waiting for you here and there. You can do pretty much here, unless you die. And you will. So save often.
    The main great thing is a big amount of quests in the world. Plus random NPCs on the roads. So you should accept all the offers NPCs give you to fully experience the game.

    Combat system is great, it's doubtful at first and not easy to master, but if you spend a little time, you will find its pros. Still sometimes you can quite easily beat ordinary opponents one-on-one even without mastering combat, if you have some patience though. The problem is fighting at night as you can't see anything and your opponent doesn't care at all.

    Also about combat - assassination (especially whith dagger) is imbalanced. It's too powerful, mainly because of AI irresponsibility and predictability.

    The only bad thing is loading times everywhere - you have to wait just to speak to any NPC in the game, the same with loading textures, loading screens everywhere.

    Save system may be uncomfortable for some people.

    RPG system is old school - if you do something, you master it and level up. So if you fight a lot - you're becoming a better fighter not only because of your own experience, but your hero masters it with you. The same with speaking, bartering, cooking abilities and so on. Perfect in this.

But the real reason I say that it fails at this is because the save has never been this potentially punishing. With change comes preference and by changing the save feature to a harsher system that is very unpopular by today's standards can be polarizing. It isn't too annoying to actually have this feature present, but with the Infinite Saves mod, the game not only becomes much less stressful, as before, when you were caught in combat unexpectedly, you would pray to god you would be able to run away. Now, you can work proactively instead of reactively and save either once every couple of times you fast travel, or more liberally as you desire. The game becomes much more free and as a result, more fun as you can spend less time conserving your saves and more time immersing yourself in the great design of the world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Most other parts of this game are very good and the low-budget charm is forgivable, in my opinion. The jank is mostly just irritating, the combat can be made less stressful by training with Captain Bernard for just a couple of (ingame) hours, and if the game just keeps kicking your ass no matter what, you can always look up a guide to get some sick loot. The game is so open and liberating that if you know where to get it and how, free loot is practically staring at your face throughout a solid--well--all major settlements and cities. Never wrote a review like this before, and sometimes I forget integral game mechanics and elements that change the final score, but if this game intrigues you, it might just do the same even after you start playing.

    11 причин, почему эта игра – говно.

    1) ЛАГИ в 2023 году это позор 2) Отсутствие нормального количества диалогов, нельзя с кем-то поболтать нормально или вспомнить события старых квестов выполненных уже, из-за этого ты не проникаешься и не чувствуешь что это реально твой друг/товарищ/новый знакомый и не чувствуешь свое влияние на мир (нельзя пойти к нпс и сказать аля помнишь я тебе помогал
    11 причин, почему эта игра – говно.

    1) ЛАГИ в 2023 году это позор
    2) Отсутствие нормального количества диалогов, нельзя с кем-то поболтать нормально или вспомнить события старых квестов выполненных уже, из-за этого ты не проникаешься и не чувствуешь что это реально твой друг/товарищ/новый знакомый и не чувствуешь свое влияние на мир (нельзя пойти к нпс и сказать аля помнишь я тебе помогал с такой-то вещью, ну как дела теперь) 3) Боевка (без комментариев, хуже говна я нигде не видела, один на один специфично, но интересно, а если с группой сражаться, то это днище конченое) 4) СЛИШКОМ однообразные виды, в плане атмосферы и природы, все города и деревни и поля леса однотипные, я понимаю почему так, но можно было что-то придумать для хоть какого-то разнообразия
    5) Слишком много одинаковых нпс, хоть моделек 5 б еще добавили
    6) У нпс в городах 3-4 базовых диалога между собой, это руинит все погружение, или придумайте уникальные нормальные уличные диалоги между нпс, или вырежьте и не позорьтесь
    6) Убогий неудобный интерфейс переодевания гг, постоянная путаница с тонной слоев одежды
    7) Механика с едой смешная, гг вечно хочет жрать, ок, реализм и все такое как вы хотели, но реализация смех. Постоянно заходишь на частные территории, ЧТОБЫ ПОЖРАТЬ ИЗ ЧУЖОГО КОТЛА, КОТОРЫЙ У ВСЕХ ОДИНАКОВЫЙ. Это смешно, бесит и убивает погружение
    8) Отсутствие нормальных КОМПЛЕКТОВ брони
    9) Алхимия нудное долгое дно, слишком долгая прокачка перка автоматической алхимии
    10) Отсутствие отыгрыша как такового. Долгая тема, но вкратце. Отсутствует отыгрыш характера по диалогом (Харизма/Красноречие/Угроза не в счет, это лишь механика получения желаемого, ты выбираешь это не от отыгрыша гг, а от того, на что хватает статов). Отсутствует вариации прохождения квестов в согласии с отыгрышем. Репутация реализована как дно. Например я хотела отыгрывать хорошего гг и не делать воровские квесты. Но игра не дала мне альтернативы. То есть я просто теряю пласт сюжета. А в нормальной игре мне бы дали выбор – или иди делай воровские квесты, или например вступай в какой-нибудь орден рыцарей, и одно исключает другое. А так ни рыба, ни мяса, ты можешь делать все квесты подряд и 0 отыгрыша. И зачем эта репутация тогда, ни на что не влияет и ее абузить очень легко
    11) Отсутствие нормальной вариативности

    Но почему же 8 баллов? Потому что несмотря на все эти причины, игра великолепная, интересная, затягивает. И я советую ее всем любителям жанра... Наверное я мазохистка

I played this game on AMD Ryzen 9 3950X, RTX 3070 with 32GB RAM and game was not still able to have stable high fps. Even with last patches and updates. Pity. Would be a true gem.

    I actually quite like KCD. Yes, it has its weaknesses, but it's not a triple-A production! Just the game world looks ultra authentic. I haven't seen that in any other game yet. RDR2 or TW3 have a very cool game world, but you can tell it's a game world. KCD offers a world that looks and feels like a real world. And that also fits perfectly with the gameplay, which is kept very realistic.I actually quite like KCD. Yes, it has its weaknesses, but it's not a triple-A production!

    По моему мнению есть небольшой дисбаланс в сторону дробащего оружия. В игре много латников и битвы с ними намного проще проходить именно с дробящим нежели с двуручным мечом. Я же в начале качал именно двуручку и каждое столкновение с фулл экипированным половцем были крайне мучительны, но как только я перешел на палицу, игра стала в сто раз проще
    Сюжет не показался мне супер интересным, но иногда попадаются интересные квесты.
    В целом игра очень добротная, учитывая что это первый проект студии, с нетерпением жду продолжения и настоятельно рекомендую к ознакомлению.

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a first person RPG set in a historically accurate world of medieval Bohemia. The historic accuracy is probably the most amazing aspect of the game and I feel like it is not appreciated enough. Even by me.

As you play this game, you might not feel it as such, but if you study medieval history at least a little bit, or if you visit the sites of the game in the real world, you will begin to understand that this game has achieved something extraordinary. But the historical accuracy is not the only thing that this game does well. The combat system is really great, you can really see and feel the progression that Henry makes with a sword, but you can also feel your own skill rising. The graphics is pretty, specially the weapons and armor look very nice. The character animations are not perfect, but you have to take into consideration that this game is not AAA. It was made on a limited budget with the initial funds coming from a kickstarter campaign. The game font is beautiful and makes reading a pleasure. Music is great and very atmospheric. The main story is interesting and non repetitive and you can clearly see the handwriting on Mr. Vavra in it. Same goes for the side quests, which is definitely something this game does better than most other RPGs. The regular difficulty is challenging enough, with the hardcore difficulty being a great bonus for a second playthrough. On the downside, this game really suffered from many bugs following its release. They fixed most of them within a year of release, but still it has to be said that the game was released pretty raw. The save system does not suit me at all. I fully understand what the developers meant to say by this, but it is just nothing for me. I like to save often. No microtransactions and no SJW crap in this game. i would expect nothing else from these developers.

    DLCs:

    From the Ashes - First DLC for KC:D. This DLC allows you to build and maintain a village of Pribyslavitz as its Bailiff appointed by Lord Divish. There is a number a wasted opportunities here, this DLC is pretty short and your involvement in actually designing the village is really shallow. Overall I would expect this DLC to be at least twice as long and offer more involvement in building the village. Verdict: 62 %

    The Amorous Adventures of Bold Sir Hans Capon - Second DLC for KC:D. This DLC builds on already well written and funny relationship between and Henry and Hans Capon. It adds three relatively long quests, in which you need to help Hans in seducing a fair maiden from the town of Rattay. The level of writing is very good as usual. As with most DLCs you are paying quite a lot for not so much. Overall a nice addition to the game. Verdict: 73 %

    Band of Bastards - Third DLC for KC:D. This time you become a part of a mercenary band that serves Sir Radzig Kobyla as you try to uncover a plot against him by one of his old rivals. This DLC introduces a bunch of new characters and of all the DLCs, this one offers the most conventional and traditional gameplay. Overall a good little addition to the story. Final Verdict: 68 %

    A Woman's Lot - Fourth and last DLC for KC:D. This DLC is also probably the most unconventional one and the only one ( and the only moment in the entire game ), where you play as other characters. This DLC is split into two distinct section. In the first part you play as Theresa as she escapes the destroyed Skalitz. The second part is a conventional quest in which you ( as Henry ) need to help your friend Johanka with a myriad of troubles. This DLC offers the most chilling and possibly even dark content in the entire game. I like the Woman's Lot more than any of the previous DLCs. It is fitting that this DLC is the last one, it makes you want for KCD sequel even more. Final Verdict: 86 %

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a medieval life simulator that will take you back to a time, when Europe was still ( sort of ) alright. Final Verdict: 90 %

    Upon the release the PC version is the only reasonable way to enjoy Kingdom Come. And there’s a lot to enjoy, because historically accurate Middle Ages are an awesome setting. The beginning of the game might not be spectacular, but give Deliverance a chance and it will develop into a unique, deep, gripping experience. [04/2018, p.42]

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a different kind. It's incredibly absorbing in its pace, it amazes with a manically detailed medieval era features and a totally true atmosphere, a series of skillfully built quests and, and when you get used to it, a fantastic combat system. There is a one-too-much cliché in the story arc, but the main problem lies in the technical issues. The game is, however, such a remarkable, huge, different and fresh experience that the occasional bug can be simply ignored.
