    I first played the game on PS4, multiple times and after playing it on PC, it still managed to blow my mind.

    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

    Never thought i'd like the setting of the medieval eastern Europe, but this game evoked a genuine interest in that era in me. The main plot, music, settlements design — everything filled with Slavic soul. Gameplay is specific. Fans of the hardcore realistic combat system would probably love it, but for me mechanics seemed clumsy and too disbalanced.

    8/10

    Graphics are great and the story is well... okay. The dialogues are so boring and mostly long that I don't want to listen to them. The game is very detailed and atmospheric but it is absolutely no fun to play.
    The combat system is the laziest, most complicated and worst I've ever seen in any game. The controls are so ponderous and cumbersome that every fight is an ordeal.

    In addition, there are unnecessary things like drinking liquor to save, so that you are tipsy after each save and can hardly save. Picking locks is absolutely stupid, and so there are a lot of unnecessarily annoying little things throughout the entire game.
    I like the setting a lot and would have loved to play it, but in my eyes it's the worst open-world RPG currently on the market.
    I'm so glad I got it for free from the Epic Store, because I would regret every penny I put into the game.    … Expand

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

    KCD has a lot of things in a realistic way, but saving the game is just really annoying!

    You need to sleep, or drink schnapps. If you missed sleep for a while and forgot to drink before entering a quest with a long way ahead of you, you are simply... well you know that what comes after this. I'm saying that, take good care of your character, sleep, drink, eat, and do not stand up and    KCD has a lot of things in a realistic way, but saving the game is just really annoying!

I'm saying that, take good care of your character, sleep, drink, eat, and do not stand up and fight against 3 or more enemies around you. Sometimes, getting away from combat is a good tactic to improve your skills. Maybe you can improve your Agility or Vitality.

    Who knows... Because anything you can do in this game can improve one of your skills.

    Finally:

    Realistic combat mechanic --- Check!
    Realistic human relations --- Check!

For some reason I was especially impressed with the verticality of the landscape, most games make it very obvious that the level editors start out with a flat plane. Maybe it's because it's modeled on real life Bohemia, and they used actual geo data..

    And I definitely agree with going Hardcore mode, it's so much better for exploration. It's not even that vast area-wise, but it's insanely detailed and realistic. I've actually gotten completely lost in the woods in that game. I found remote locations only by following directions, and even then I sometimes had to visually triangulate landmarks to find it. It's so rare for a game to have out-of-the-way places that I'd *never* stumble upon accidentally.

    I also find it visually gorgeous, and while the overall plot is nothing special on paper, the execution is exceptional IMO and - again - very detailed, grounded, and (as much as I dislike the word, but it's appropriate here) very immersive, yeah. For me, the only game that rivals the believable voice-acting, animation, and overall production values, is The Witcher 3.

    Also, last but not least, quite good roleplay opportunities and choices & consequences.

    Highly recommended!    … Expand

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance is one of those games which you love and which you hate. Not once I was annoyed: if you spend over 60 hours in this game expect that some of your time will be wasted on bugs and broken quests (henceforth the save system appears a bit unfair). And yes, the combat system is hard to master and not every story action looks rational.

And yes, the combat system is hard to master and not every story action looks rational.

    Come on, is it an RPG or not? Why a quest «Ginger in a Pickle» is interrupted after talking with Radzig Kobyla? Why I can't say to villager something like "You better give away 20 Groschen. You understood me?!" in a quest «A Woman Scorned»? Why I must only stolen it? And in general, why my horse always drops me after some bandits with bludgeons start shouting in the bushes? It is't realistic.

    But at the same moment I'm glad that completed this game. Kingdom Come is an exciting adventure that has a lot to offer: interesting narrative and characters, funny quests and most of all – beautifully recreated medieval world with many gameplay features, like Alchemy (got caught for an hour brewing potions only because it works really cool).

    Despite its’ deficiencies Kingdom Come: Deliverance provides many unforgettable moments which make it worth playing.    … Expand

It's a real slow burn, so impatience players may be put off by the opening hours. It takes a long time to develop your skills, but the game is incredibly in depth and I've got to take my hats off to the developers. You can tell this was a labor of love and they stuck to thier vision to bring something unique to the table.

    The game is still a little janky and un polished, but I know it's a lot better now than it was on release. Many bugs and performance issues have been squashed at this point and plenty of DLC has been released. The combat system is very tough, especially in the beginning. Be prepared to die a lot if your not prepared. However, the thing I really like about this game is your character Henry is so useless when you start that by the end you really feel like you've progressed to the point where you are a master of the world and the level up system makes a lot of sense. Common sense, the more fight, the better you get at it. Same with persuasion and sneaking, Etc. It's a very true RPG where your actions level up your character and not some arbitrary skill tree that you unlock like so many games these days.

    It's pretty dang good, I would recommend this to anyone who likes there games on the more realistic side. Give it a chance, especially in the beginning few hours with are a bit of a slog. The game opens up quickly thereafter and choices become endless.    … 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]

    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.
