    This is an incredible game, so well thought out, in-depth, beautiful to look at.

Your decisions matter like never before and you will have to use your own heart and head to react quickly to environmental situations that the game may not even prompt you to, with no promise of reward, just a moral compass (and sometimes you do get rewarded). The landscape looks so realistic and just beckons you into it. A distant forest perched in a valley, where you know some bandits are hiding out..
    The music is sublime and hypnotic, completely sucking you into the setting. The game is very adult. Just doing a mission for NPC 'Old Whore.'
    No issue with bugs so far, A guys head disappeared for a second but how do I know that kind of thing didn't happen in the middle ages?
    The combat is great fun and unique, you have to be pretty quick as the window of opportunity for some moves is short. Makes mastering it more of a challenge. The lock picking worries me greatly, I can't even open a simple lock with unlimited tries. Guess I need more practice.
    You'll get lost in this one.    … Expand

    I myself live in Europe and the graphics and atmosphere are extremely authentic. The woods really feel like European woods. And they arent empty either! There are bandits, loggers, many different animals, people in distress, patrols, people who try to screw you over, etc.
    The villages and cities all feel very alive and have their real day and night cycle. For example you wont find an open store at night, but you might find the shopkeepers and guards that had a shift at day in a tavern. The guards will stop you and search you if you look suspicious and at night will scold you if you dont have a torch out.
    The story is extremely diverse, too. You can do good things, not so good things and bad things. Sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. Even the superstition of those times is very well depicted.
    The dialogue is very good and sometimes even very deep. The characters are all likable (or unlikable, if intended). You might even start to like some characters that you disliked before, because they are so well made and with time show their real personality. The side quests are actually really fun and dont feel like MMO quests, like in most other games nowadays. And they can be mostly completed (or messed up) in different ways.
    And theres no modern political/PC/SJW BS, which would only destroy the historical accuracy.
    However the politics of that time are very well depicted. Sometimes you will hate them, yet have to follow them (or dont, if you want and take the consequences). But other times you will at first think they are horrible, only to realize people really arent all stereotypes and actually have their own mind.

    Sure, it has quite a few bugs. Even today still. But they are tolerable, because the game blows you away with everything else. And if you save the game regularly, you can dodge them one or the other way almost completely.

    I cant really describe it any other way than as a masterpiece of art. It helped me rediscover my love for medieval history, too.

    Even if you pirated this game, you should realize how well it was done and still buy it so they can do a sequel.
    And the sequel will be an instant buy for me, and I normally dont buy games at release.    … Expand

    First, the astonishing amount of love poured into world-building, you can just feel it. So many nice little details.

    The fresh setting: Kingdom Come is not your average fantasy RPG, it depicts a real period of European history, 1403 AD in the Kingdom of Bohemia. In my opinion, the realistic clothing, weapons, armor etc in this game has are far more interesting than the usual exaggerated fantasy counterparts.

    The story (so far, I haven't yet completed the game) is quite interesting, and the characters are memorable, almost on the Witcher 3 level (and much, much more memorable than Bethesda's cardboard cutouts). Most of the sidequests I encountered are great as well.

    The fighting system is original and requires effort to master. You need to remember that you're starting as a person barely trained in sword fighting, not as a master swordsman like Geralt. So at first the combat system feels slow and clunky. But as you progress in mastering combat together with Henry (your character), it becomes very satisfying.

    To conclude, I highly recommend this game to everyone who loves open-world RPGs with good stories and memorable characters, while willing to tolerate occasional bugs (which I'm sure will soon be ironed out) and willing to put quite a bit of effort in mastering combat and various other gameplay mechanics.    … Expand

Everything that happens in game actually happens whether you are there to see it or not.

    If an NPC moves to another town, he actually walks there in game. Nothing happens behind the scenes.

    Graphics are amazingly beautiful with the HD pack. I have a 1080 Ti and crank everything up at 2560x1440 to what they call "experimental settings for future hardware" and it runs smooth at around 70FPS.

    Combat takes some getting used to, because it truly is an RPG with realistic combat controls. You have to learn the controls, and your character has to learn to fight. Both can be accomplished by spending some time with a trainer and practicing. And once I got to learn it I think it is absolutely amazing and immersive. Lock-ons can be a little cumbersome though.

    I use some mods, because I am not as interested in inventory/cleanliness type meta games and mechanics. The official forums are the place to figure out how to get mods working, because most of them on nexus are no longer maintained and some simple text edits need to be done to get them working, but not all players are going to want to use mods. I absolutely must have unlimited inventory and unlimited save game mods, for my personal preference. I also use extended cleanliness, and some herb picking mods and a bow mechanic mod. I don't think there are many other mods than are working ATM, but the official forums is more active than Nexus right now.

    I highly recommend this game. I have spent a couple hundred hours on it now, and haven't finished, because I do everything, and I wanted to wait for the DLC's to come out before wrapping up the main story.

    Band of Bastards is a really good DLC, but has a couple minor bugs (it just came out). From the Ashes is cool, but maybe not for everyone. I have only done a little bit from the Sir Hans one so far, but I like it.    … Expand

    In the past 20 years I have played mostly single player RPGs, ranging from Fallout 1 & 2, Torment, BG, IWD, Deus Ex, down to NWN, KoToR, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Witcher and the likes. But Kingdom Come is truly special. Apart from being a great RPG, the main thing that sets it apart from the others is its aspiration for authenticity and realism. You *are* Henry, a nobody in a historical setting of 1403 Bohemia, on a quest for revenge. It would have been an ordinary RPG were it not that the developers actually investigated medieval lore, combat and way of living. As you explore the world, tooltips pop up explaining events, places and society, which in turn incite you to read and learn more about history. Hence this is the first RPG I have ever played that actually has some educational value.

    The uniqueness of this game is that it proves that one can make an AAA game and story without a fantasy setting and lore, but just by plugging it into our own history. I especially love this because I am from Europe, and the setting is part of my own history. But I would also love to see something similar plugged into a historical setting less known to me, such as Ancient China, Persia, Egypt or America.

    This game is like a successful proof of concept for a RPG subgenre, and I really hope this game and the developers receive the recognition and support that I think they deserve. I congratulate and give them a straight 10/10.

    And you who might be reading this and wondering whether to buy it: If you enjoy RPGs, challenging combat, compelling story and a rich world. Doubt no longer. This game has all that to offer you, and on top of all that I am sure you’ll learn something about Bohemia too.    … Expand

    The bottom line is this - there's some jank, there are some bugs (but nothing game breaking or dramatic; the usual stuff we expect for new open-world releases).

    NPCs react to the player in an astonishing amount of ways based on the cleanliness of his clothes, his reputation, his standing with the local populace and quite a few quest decisions. Furthermore, to me, the combat is quite innovative - and while certainly not perfect or as polished as most AAA entries it feels weighty and satisfying. Most players will be turned off by it because it's not very well taught during the tutorial, but if you keep at it you'll discover that it's quite deep and entertaining.

    Most players' tutorial experience will not be quite as breathtaking as hoped, but you're meant to feel weak and underwhelming at the start of the game, that just makes improving all the better.

    If you enjoy a vast and deep open world RPG this is definitely for you, there are so many ways to play your character, so many chances to be a thief, an assassin, a valorous knight or even a common cutthroat.

You level up by doing whatever it is you want to improve and get a perk point roughly every 4 of those levels. The economy is fun to interact with.

    Graphics thanks to very demanding CryEngine is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen in the games, story line, cruelty of medieval ages, decisions are all only up to you, historical context with very nice animations and for me and other Czech players is really nice to see original Czech text written by a local people. The only thing what I am missing in this game is lack of Czech dubbing, but this is just insignificant drawback I can get over with.

    The game is very very demanding, but in 2018 and in the future, there is going to be a new hardware what will render this game at higher framerates than today's rigs.

I am playing at 27 - 50 FPS (i7-5820k at 4.2 GHz + GTX 1070 at ~2000 MHz) @ 3440 x 1440 Ultra/Very high settings mix with shadows on medium and shaders set to low details. Game experience with gamepad is pretty much satisfying.

    Sometimes this game is so brutal and you can even see here very honorless behavior, so I have very strange feelings in my mind and I even bad feelings inside my soul after playing it. I have never experienced anything similar in any games! Truly breathtaking!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is an absolute masterclass. Anyone who has given this game a low rating because of the save system, combat, mechanics is a troll who wouldn't realize a gem among pebbles. Everything is unforgiving at the start and the game makes you understand that you have absolutely zero skill. 40 hours into the game and i am a badass knight who literally took the time to learn combat and armor. Quest lines are interesting and NPCs actually have literal schedules other than waiting for you to get to them. Money is hard to come by in the beginning, NPCs will not wait for you if you fail to show up to a meeting etc. This is actual role playing and not ordinary button mashing. This game made me realize that we had really over hyped the witcher 3 and skyrim. Can't wait for the next game from these developers. A masterpiece!!!… Expand

One who’s centralized and small scale story pushes you through the game much like other RPG’s , but every word action and even inaction has weight, meaning and consequence. You start to see that what you would do in real life is how the story plays out and how you have to tackle challenges.

    There is no magic here folks. To its benefit , the arcan arts has been excluded from this game to its benefit. The fighting system while it seems hard and intricate is actually smooth and very well done. When you are going toe to toe with someone swinging an axe at you , the back and forth clanking of weapons is the most real and intense as you can get.

    Your life matters, so you care about your actions and how they effect others. Dying can set you back hours.

    This is one of the best games I have played in a while. I am very impressed with how well everything just fits together, from not bathing and reduced charisma, to having to eat or eating too much and becoming clumsy. The skill systems work and play off each other like in real life. I am rating this game a 10 because it is a breath of something new. It’s an exciting, difficult,realistic and unashamed simulator of mideval times.

    If you can’t hang with that don’t play it.
    If your expecting For Honor, don’t play it.

On the other hand, the game might not be for everybody, there is steeper learning curve, you have to invest to learn and rather slowly (for some) uncover layers of complexity. For some, this might feel frustrating as there is no easy lunch from the start. And forget the bugs, I'm 30 something hours in game and found none that could spoil the joy and blast playing the game.

    - Story: one of the best I've experienced in my entire life and I have been gaming for more than 25 years. really engaging story. even most side quests have small interesting stories behind them.

    - Graphics: absolutely incredible. I've never seen any more realistic depiction of nature in a game before. it seems every inch of the game world is handcrafted with great amount of attention to detail instead of just copy pasting like it is done in other open world games. you don't see this attention to detail even in triple A titles from big, rich developers.

    - Gameplay: combat system is one of the best. at first it felt clunky but after several hours of playtime it became very satisfying and rewarding. it's not just button mashing, you have to learn how to fight, you have to think before every move.

    - Sound and music and voice acting: great specially if you consider it's from an independent developer with not so big budget.

    - Atmosphere: you can really feel the atmosphere of middle ages. very realistic and accurate in my opinion.

    Cons

    - Bugs: as of now despite many patches(game version 1.9) there are still some bugs. imagine how buggy it was on release date.

    - Performance and optimization: this game requires high end GPU and CPU. even on a top end PC, frequent frame drops can occur specially in big cities. also SSD is a must. at first I installed it on a HDD and the experience was frustrating to say the least. long loading times everywhere. just starting a conversation with random NPC leads to several seconds of watching loading screen. exiting the conversation also another several seconds. every single activity needs loading time, surprisingly long too. even textures takes a long time to load, sometime it takes more than five seconds to appear on objects around you! loading time on HDD was extremely nerve-racking. but installing it on SSD solved most of those issues. texture loading issue is fully solved and loading times are now greatly reduced. if you don't have a SSD just forget about this game unless you have the patience of a saint.

    Overall this game is great, I would give it 9 because of bugs and those performance issues but I have not enjoyed a game this much at least over the last decade so how can I give it less than 10.    … Expand

    When this game first came out, I was scared away by overly negative reviews and comments. What a loss for me.
    This game will be long-remembered as a genre-changer - a game so significant in its impact that developers will be referring to it ten years down the road as a gold standard in RPG development.

    This game will be long-remembered as a genre-changer - a game so significant in its impact that developers will be referring to it ten years down the road as a gold standard in RPG development.
    First, the game is designed as historical fiction. The locations were taken from history, the characters were taken from history, the events were taken from history. Heck, people are even using Google maps to go to Bohemia and view (and comment on) the real world locations that are in this game. You just happen to be a minor character caught up in much greater events - which works well in an open-world setting. Decide you want to go exploring in the wake of an invading army? Get ready to get pounded on by bandits or deserters. Stay close to cities and villages? The experience can be relatively benign.
    The historical fiction aspect works great because the development team is able to populate the world with real world architecture, materials and characters. I have never played a game where a castle looked and FELT like a real castle before. Weather systems are real. Lighting is atmospheric - and rooms at night are lit darkly by candles. You have to be aware of day/night cycles, food and sleeping - not in an obtrusive way, but in a natural way that adds to the depth of the experience. Go 6 days without wiping off grime after numerous battles? People will respond appropriately - "good Lord man! What happened to you?!" Carry around an un-refrigerated side of bacon for a week and decide to have it for lunch? You're going to get sick.
    And within this "real" world setting, the combat system comes closest to a real representation of what it might actually have been like to fight in those days. At the beginning of the game, running around as a peasant, you will need to avoid engaging an armored foe - because they will kick your butt. If your idea of RPG combat is bashing buttons as quickly as possible, you will fail miserably. Instead the combat system has to be learned and mastered over time. Having finished the game (at least to the point the story arch takes you in the first game) I can confidently engage TWO opponents at the same time... as long as I am smart and am moving constantly to keep the two opponents from surrounding me. Three or more means guaranteed death - and that is probably as it should be. If I need to take out a camp of six enemies, I have to do so very carefully. But the game allows freedom of action for me to accomplish this many ways that don't involve rushing in with a battle axe and flailing around. I can sneak into camp at night and kill the sentries with a dagger. I can snipe from the woods with a bow... and run away if discovered. I can poison their wine or food. I can wait until night when they are asleep so that half the camp has to defend themselves without the benefit of armor. I can ride through camp on a war horse with a lance and hope for a lucky kill. And so forth. Some combat against difficult opponents can take several minutes - for a SINGLE opponent. And this isn't a boss battle - it is simply against a veteran combatant with good armor. You learn to recognize what gear an enemy has on - by sight - and switch weapons accordingly. Wearing an open helm? You are going to jab for his face. Two-handed sword? You are going to use a warhammer, get in close for a grapple, and knee him. This also works best if you can trap him in a corner or against a tree so he can't backpedal. Shields work really well for slamming in the neck under the chin. People start the game screaming at the combat because it is so unforgiving... and they finish the game cheering the system as one of the best and more interesting systems ever developed because they figure it out... and because even when you get GOOD at it, combat is still never a guaranteed thing if you make some stupid mistakes.
    The game has some jankiness and quirks, but I didn't experience a single technical bug - not a crash, not an error, nothing. Most of the issues seem to be with game geometry and getting caught up or falling into locations that are difficult to extract yourself from. These were uncommon, but they did occur. Occasionally I would be riding my armored warhorse across a field and be brought to a grinding halt by running into a bush. Could it be perfected? Definitely. But given the vast majority of things this game does right, a little collision detection issue isn't going to have me running for the exit.
    I could go on and on. This game is designed to be enjoyed slowly like a good book. If you want Fortnite instant action you aren't going to like it. If you enjoy good story, character development, and open-ended worlds that reward smart gameplay... you will wonder what too you so long.    … Expand

    I found early on that using the bow let me take down enemies at a distance that I couldn't beat in close combat. Even with multiple foes, I could keep backpedaling and stopping to fire as they chased me and still take them all down eventually. As a result, I became a great archer but a lousy swordsman.

What I really like about this game is that it's trying to be authentic to the time. No magic, no monsters. Out in the wild you won't be attacked by wild animals, much like if you really went out into countryside yourself.

    The visuals are really well done. Again, they try to keep it realistic. The buildings, clothing, weapons and other things are based on the time period. There are even pictures on the internet showing side by sides of some of the real buildings they are modeled after.

    Game play is great too. I'll admit at first it's a bit clunky and cumbersome, but that's due to you being a blacksmiths son that spends his time in the bar. Riding your horse or handling your sword and bow are all very slow and awkward. The fact that you can't take on much more than a couple enemies at a time at the start a refreshing change from games like Batman or Assassin's Creed. At the beginning of the game I didn't do too well, but after practicing and leveling up my combat skills, it is very satisfying to take down an opponent after a 2-3 min battle. You really feel the effects of character progression in this game.

    So, yeah, this game starts off slow and unforgiving, but if you stick with it, it is extremely satisfying. I have 35 hours into it and I believe I still have a ton of content to go. It's fantastic.    … Expand

    I'm excited. Medieval atmosphere is fantastic, countryside and castles are fabulous. I know, you can find a few bugs, but this normal in open world games with bigger budget too. I know it is different genre, but when I play, I feel like in age of Red Dead Redemption. Story is great!

The way the landscape falls, the trees and rocks was genius. Truly lifelike and I wish I could play this VR because it would be truly immersive. BRAVO WarHorse, for your first game, you really hit it out of the park. Please keep it up! Don't be like BioWare and screwed up the Mass Effect series. ME 1 & 2 were great, but the quality of each release fell off sharply after that. I would rather you take your time and get it right than rush it.… Expand

That's why I give them 10/10 for no only of its astounding gwaphx but also the fondness of the medieval feeling that I myself enamored with it for the past 7 years of their development of that game itself, which it was predictable but hey, have fun of your review that I've just critiqued.… Expand

It's gritty, well written, it's got a great combat system, once you get used to it, and the atmosphere is spot on. I love being an illiterate idiot-boy and make something of myself. When minigames like the lock-picking or pickpocketing annoys the crap out of me, or when I got my ass handed to me by the first drunkard I met, it's easy to simply see all of that as my character simply being no good at either stealth or combat. It gets better anyway. So, while 10 seems very high for a game with this many flaws, it's still the most fun I'v had with a single player game since Red Dead Redemption. Granted, the game is probably made for a certain niche - luckily, I belong in that niche.… Expand

Then move on to other things like spotting clues to locate the quest objectives whereabouts and then the objective itself.Finally a real RPG, especially if you play it in hardcore mode; the limited HUD and lack of immediate information makes you actually put some effort into finding your way around, at the beginning you will have to first learn how to find your own location on the map. Then move on to other things like spotting clues to locate the quest objectives whereabouts and then the objective itself. You will also need to consult the codex frequently before you command adequate mastery of the game mechanics and rely less on the compendium.

    The side missions are incorporated within the main story seamlessly, in contrast to the recent trend of including side quests as an afterthought just to make players spend more time playing the game. You will find great little plots and small mysteries to enjoy as well as the overarching story if you keep a balanced diet of completing main and side quests.

    Kingdom Come is a non-compromising RPG which will keep you on your toes all the time and will punish you if you lose focus, at the same time it offers a relaxing pace and stints of tranquility as an inseparable part of its setting. In short, it's an RPG for RPG lovers.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

The textures for the most part, are top-notch and beautiful. Animations are not perfect, and the game stutters at times on the console. However, the story of Henry is extremely well-realized. You are given little to hold your hand, and you must work your way through a long tutorial and some occasionally tough mechanics. But once you do, and once the game's charm hits you, you'll be hooked. There's a meat to it that is missing from a lot of games these days, and it is refreshing in scale, scope, and the rich realistic world you are given to explore. Combat is tough, but fair. Bugs are not game-breaking and I would expect a patch for the majority of them to appear in the next few weeks. This game is definitely a must buy for hardcore RPG or medieval fans, those of you waiting for technical issues to clear up, waiting for a sale is fine, but you'll still find hours of enjoyment today if you want to dive in.… Expand

    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]

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.
