    Kingdom come: Deliverance, is simply a great game. Great, in the proper sense of the word.

I love almost everything about this game. Great immersion, characters, landscape, music, gameplay. You can't save whenever you want so you have to think carefully before doing something. Long, boring walks are chances to talk with people helping you get more information as well as know more about NPCs characteristics. Almost every mission can be solved in different ways. Only one annoyance is the auto-locking enemy system makes you being difficult to attack or block some men right in front instead of trying to hit the men behind them. Anyway, one of my most favorite games. I'm really into it.… Expand

    Kingdom Come Deliverance is one of the best RPG games I've had the pleasure of playing. The game mechanics are very well done and very realistic. Everything seems to be modeled in a way that makes this world very credible. The limitations imposed on the player character, such as the need to consume meals or sleep, add even greater depth to the gameplay.

    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.

    The graphics are good, definitely not the best out there but it manages to set the mood properly and be a candy for the eyes of gamer. The NPCs are sometimes emotionless but I guess that's normal for a open world RPG game.
    The story is one of the most intriguing stories in a game, you being as normal as an NPC who works hard to become the hero. Everything you have at the end of the game is what you've achieved and worked hard to do so.

    I remember I was so sceptical to buy the game at first, but I'm glad I was convinced to do so as it turned out to be one of my top 5 games of all time. Don't hesitate to buy, and don't forget to be patient while getting a hang of things, it's meant to be challenging at first and make you feel like a completely normal person in the world.    … Expand

    i could not put the game down, i kept playing, deep into nights even. the game was absolutely gorgeous and so much fun to play. the combat is tons of fun and i actually wish it were more challenging (once you learn riposte the difficulty kinda becomes zero unless you're fighting 3 or more people), the world is 1403 bohemia. yes, that's it. it's 1403 bohemia, did you expect me to say beautiful, living, breathing? **** no, the world IS LITERALLY 1403 bohemia. when you put that headset on, turn the lights off in your room, you are transported to 1403 bohemia.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Score: 8.6

    An amazing game, with it's problems obviously, but you can easily see the love and hardwork it took for it to be made. It's not a AAA **** title.

    Graphics: I playewd this since 2021, and although the graphcis are nowhere near next gen, they are amazing and beautifull for what they are, i rarely used fast travel because i loved to traverse this land holy ****

    Combat: I'm a tipical casual Andy, who loves button mashing. As you can imagine it took a bit of time before i got used to this type of combat. I think it's ok, not amazing, they had a vision for what they wanted to do, and they tried their best at it. It's certainly distinctive from other games, but i most say i didn't have that much fun on it.

    RPG: The amount of systems at play here... Holy **** the reading, eating, learning, sleeping, training, cleaning youself, dressing up, soo **** immersive!! AMAZING

    Story: Nothing too crazy, at sometimes a bit boring, but overall it was fun and grounded to reality, leaving the door open for possible DLCs/Sequels. The part that broke me the most was the ending siege holy **** You can't put someone on an amazing sequence of events, going like 120km/h and than say "Stop, go gather 200 meat, 100 plants, check all these taverns, oh, and go get an engineer. ANd on top of all of that, all the next missions will evnvolve you having to wait several in game days to complete :)"
    I get what they wanted to do, make people do other content while we wait for the main one, the thing is, if you get to this late stage of a game and still have a lot of side content to do, it«s because you probably don't want to do it, you just want to finish the story. Or, you made most of the other content already, and have nothing else to do.
    Overall it was fun, but had its shortcomings    … Expand

    Realism, now when it comes to realism of this game, their are some flaws, but very few, and very minor flaws, I have to say the realism that comes with this game is incredible, and the attention to detail that this game got is on another level. Now their is one minor issue if you are someone that likes to immerse yourself in a game, while the realism is incredible in this game, one issue that can take away from that immersion is the cut scenes throughout the game, while not bad or terrible, they are just too artificial to get that level of immersion that a lot of people look for in a game like this, though quite minor in comparison to the rest of the game, it is something.

    Quests, now when it comes to the length of the game in general, I have to say I was quite impressed, the share number of side quests is incredible, I've put quite a lot of time into this game already, and I have admit, their are many side quests I've yet to do, and for the main quests, well they're another story, the share depth and length that some of these missions have are incredible, while some seem quite repetitive and some also seem quite tedious, the majority bring a lot of enjoyment.

    Now for bugs and issues, I have to say their are surprisingly very little. In the hours I've put into this game, I've yet to come across and game changing, or major bug.

    Graphics and Fluidity, now when it comes to the graphics, it's insane, I do have to point out though, that this game is extremely CPU and GPU intensive, and I would have to point out a few flaws when it comes to optimisation in relations to other titles, but in all it delivers a fluid and breath-taking experience.

    In all, I would have to say it's an incredible game, and I would personally place it quite high on a list of all time favourites, most probably an A tier game, but if in relations to the recent array of games being released, well then this game has to be in the top 3 of recently released games. So if you're one of these people that have yet to play this masterpiece, you are seriously missing out. Yet another masterpiece by Warhorse Studios.    … Expand

    It's art. It's basically what this game is. I've never seen such beautiful enviroments in a game in my life. The way forests and meadows flow. The way the world feels real.
    The main quest is intriguing and the game has humor. The combat while clunky, still makes it feel very unique and after awhile you learn to like it when you master your sword skills.

    The game stays true to history and does not impose any wokeness or political ideology (which is all too common today) on you, but is straight up a good classic RPG. It even teaches you about history.

    The world feels harsh and real in many aspects and It was long times since I was as immersed in an RPG. The monastery anyone? (haha). It feels like the good old times when I was a kid and played Might And Magic 7 for the first time.

    It's not an easy game and it has it's negative parts as well: really bad face animations, bugs, a super annoying saving system. Very linear. Meaning you do not have that much freedom to choose what you want to do. Loose ends in the story is never revisisted in many cases.
    But for a game made with a whole new Indie company, as their first game. It really is a amazing.

    And it brings hope to a genre which is pretty much dead today. I cannot wait for the second installment! Na Zdravi!

    One of a kind medieval RPG with an enthralling story and very believable recreation of medieval Bohemia. The music sets the scene very well with a memorable soundtrack which changes as you travel between environments. The combat system does well to capture the feel of historically accurate sword combat which I look forward to seeing being developed even further in future instalments.

    So, the only reason I'd give this a 9 and not a 10 is the save function.

Yes, I know that the game aims to create an unforgiving, realistic world that won't hesitate to put you in a headlock tighter than.. 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.… Expand

    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]. The graphics are gorgeous, the story line is well written and the gameplay is enjoyable. The main reason why I won't give it a 10 are the female characters. In the Woman's lot DLC, this is fixed a little, but even then the main motivationI love this game more than anything.

Still, the game is a must-play, and if you're an artist the artbook is also full of really great and inspiring pieces and details.… Expand

    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.

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.    … Expand

    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.

    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]

    A robust RPG deserves your attention not only for its domestic origin. You will easily forgive its smaller mistakes because of a great narration and a complex gameplay. [Issue#283]

    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.
