    This game is very immersive and makes you feel like you are actually in medieval times.
    The story is surprisingly good, and I heard the DLCs have some pretty cool side-stories as well.
    My only beef with this game is that even though a lot of players would like to role-play like a knight, the main fighting strategy of knights is not implemented: There are no lances in the game.

    If it were possible to fight as a knight in a large battle, that would be truly spectacular and I would give this game a 10/10. The only large-ish battles are more like skirmishes between unruly bandits, because no one fights in formation.

    Overall though this is a nice game and I recommend it.

    Adorable quirky "sort of old school" medieval RPG.

    Bugs? Yea, a bit, but really not that bad. I finished the game with only maybe 3 or 4 reloads due to game-breaking bugs... it's not like that never happens with "proper" games. The story has many hallmarks of a typical RPG (poor boy in village is one of the few survivors after evil army attacks, etc) but there's something... quirky

    The story has many hallmarks of a typical RPG (poor boy in village is one of the few survivors after evil army attacks, etc) but there's something... quirky about it that makes it lovable.
    (When you're not able to read, all written text is gibberish.. and it only comes with practice!)
    The clunky and hard to master combat adds to the magic of old school games that don't make it easy for you - yet entertain you as you suffer.

    Ultimately, it's not a masterpiece in any of its many pieces, from dice, horseriding, sword fighting, stealth or whatever. I could be critical of pretty much everything..
    But it's clearly a product of love and it's very enjoyable to explore the country side and the game mechanics.

    Mainstream games nowadays don't even try to make anything novel and just throw generic stuff at players. Here, they tried to do a lot, they couldn't manage to deliver half of their ambition... it's clunky... but you can feel the passion put into the game.

    A solid +50 hours of enjoyment here. Get the DLCs too, particularly the Woman's Lot. It adds some of the most interesting sides of the game.

One on one is ok but with more the one oponents everything going to **** Even one on one i will not call very fun experience. The game tryes to be realistic over trying to be fun. And this mindset combine with lack of polish lead to very frustrating and at times boring experience. It is very rough game with very bright moments and very ****y ones. The best thing is world,characters and overall atmosphere. The worst thing is lack of polish. It is indie game pretends to be big AAA project. It reminds me of shenmue series but without fortcliff and endless games of lucky hit. Expand

    Juego épico menospreciado por la prensa amarillista de los videojuegos, llena de toxicidad e intereses económicos.

    Un juego RPG medieval con una ambientación realista, inspirado en la Bohemia del siglo XV durante el Sacro Imperio Romano.
    Unos gráficos ultra realistas, sonido y banda sonora excelentes, un buen control, una historia épica, cientos de horas de juego en centenares de misiones, combates basados en técnicas de esgrima reales con cientos de armas y escudos, un sistema de confección de armaduras por capas basado en el sistema real de la edad media, miles de objetos de todo tipo, diferentes caballerías y monturas, con total y absoluta libertad para ir dónde quieras a tu antojo, cientos de NPC's con los que interactuar, etc, etc.

    Cosas como tu aspecto, tus atuendos, tu igiene personal, etc, influirá en la opinión de los demás hacia ti, e influirá en el respeto que tendrán los habitantes de Bohemia hacia tu persona, con lo que tendrás que cuidar estos aspectos entre otros muchos.

    El juego tiene un ritmo tranquilo y nos va metiendo en situación poco a poco, cosa que se agradece dada su extensión y su inmensa riqueza en todos los apartados jugables. Es un juego que quizá no sea totalmente apto para personas impacientes, que busquen acción directa y sin complicaciones. Requiere de cierto aprendizaje y de cierta destreza, aprendizaje que nos muestran en las primeras horas de juego pero durante toda nuestra aventura, iremos aprendido más y más.

    Es un título que en principio es algo difícil, hay que adquirir cierta práctica como comento más arriba, no es como un The Elder Scroll que prácticamente desde el comienzo puedes ir dando espadazos a diestro y siniestro. Esto es más bien como un Dark Souls, al principio tendrás que ir con pies de plomo, ya que cualquier fallo en combate podría costarte la vida.

    Un videojuego épico en todos sus aspectos, realista, bien hecho, cuidado y mimado hasta el último detalle, poniendo el máximo realismo posible en la mayoría de sus apartados. Largo y difícil, que sabe recompensar al jugador de manera muy eficiente.

I haven't completed the game yet but I find it really captivating and overall a very satisfying experience for a hardcore gamer. Of course there are some questionable moments like e.g. when you put people unconscious they don't alert the guards after waking up, you only can buy a horse and can't tame horses you find in bandit camps, there are no wild animals in forests (at least, I didn't find any), etc. But I'd call those moments pretty insignificant.

    2020/Dec - 160 hours, only bug being stuck on some rocks, fixing by fast travel.
    On PC seems like photographic quality. Amazing varied woodland.
    Soft finish, already being nostalgic about a 2nd play-through.

    One of the best open world RPGs out there set in the Middle Ages. Very realistic presentation of the ancient times in Bohemia. Totally underrated, partly because of technical problems.

Но и у тебя такая же история. И в итоге если против тебя два-три противника в хороших доспехах - ты их бьешь, оружие от них отскакивает, а ты устаешь. .И они тебя усталого бьют. Вообще боевка с одной стороны реалистичная, а с другой - а как врагов-то убивать? Я расстреливал с лука с лошади, но это как-то тупо. Не, в реальности я бы так и делал - зачем рисковать, если можно просто отстреливать с лука ничем не рискуя. Но это же игра. В общем, боевка и нравится и очень не нравится одновременно. А так - отличная игра, квесты, алхимия (отвары травяные), сюжет - как экранизация исторической книги. Игра, которую хочется просто запускать и кататься на лошади под дождем. Минусы - это первая игра разработчиков, деньги с Кикстартера, не хватает масштаба. Но даже без скидок на бюджет, выглядит она просто нереально красиво. У меня по дороге на дачу такие же пейзажи, восточноевропейская природа показана реалистично. Советую всем, игра необычная, похожа на Mount and blade больше всего Expand

    Termine el juego y su primer DLC (From the ashes) y cuando quise jugar la 2da expansión (las aventuras amorosas de sir Hans Capon) me di cuenta que había perdido los savegamesy la sincronización en la nube me había quedado por la mitad de la historia, así que decidí jugarlo nuevamente en modo extremo y es ahí cuando más lo disfrute. Aunque creo que una de las pocas decepciones del juego es este segundo DLC (las aventuras amorosas de Sir Hans Capon) corto y con poco contenido para ser un DLC pago, en cambio me pareció muy bueno (From the ashes).
    Ahora lo estoy jugando por cuarta vez!!
    Espero que la gente de WarHorse se animen con el KCD II a profundizar las características realistas del juego!

    Pros: The World building that this game does is amazing. The language and interactions are so in depth, I have not been so immersed in a world in quite a while. Just having every character greet you with "Jesus Christ be praised" while signing a cross or having a guard stop you at night because you aren't carrying a torch
    This game was a wonderful change of pace for a hardcore RPG Fan.
    Pros: The World building that this game does is amazing. The language and interactions are so in depth, I have not been so immersed in a world in quite a while. Just having every character greet you with "Jesus Christ be praised" while signing a cross or having a guard stop you at night because you aren't carrying a torch just amuses me. The progression system is one of a kind. Not in the sense of what it offers, but in the way it goes about doing it. You start off as an extremely incompetent soldier and the game makes you feel it. You are terrible at combat, lockpicking, etc. almost to the point of frustration. But you don't just magically get better by pouring a few skill points into a category. You must continuously progress until you are confident at the skill. Everything feels earned and worked for. You aren't some wonder child or even an average joe. But this allows you to learn the game systems and really feel like your skill as a gamer makes progress. Most quests are well thought out, none of them are simple or predictable. great variety.

    Cons: The story is a bit lackluster. Its not bad, just won't knock you off your feet or leave you feeling satisfied. The man character Henry is extremely static. I progress through most of the story, killing many man and saving many, but he had the same sense of being inferior as if he didn't notice all the heroic acts that he had done. Some of the quests can be TOO tedious. You think you are in for a simple task, however it has so many twists and turns that it might deter some from enjoying the game. It took me a week (with normal everyday life in between) just to complete one quest ! The equipment is a little lacking. You never really feel the need to switch weapons often because they are all pretty standard. There are a lot of useless skills that really play no role in the game. Loading times are EXTREMELY annoying. Many load screens. Also bugs.

    Surprisingly one of the best and unique RPG-style based games of the last decade.
    Totally playable in 2020's and so on.
    Still has some textures render bugs and a little pile of scripts bugs of any sort, but nothing too really disturbing.

    Would strongly recommend but still not for everyone by any means.

    Вначале хочу оговориться, что прошёл игру спустя два года после релиза и получил бесплатно в ЕГС, так что многие косяки, которые были на старте не застал.
    Отличная РПГ в открытом мире. Красивые ролики, интересные сюжетные и побочные квесты.

    Вначале хочу оговориться, что прошёл игру спустя два года после релиза и получил бесплатно в ЕГС, так что многие косяки, которые были на старте не застал.
    Отличная РПГ в открытом мире. Красивые ролики, интересные сюжетные и побочные квесты.
    Из минусов хочу отметить только техническую часть. Местами скрипты не очень хорошо прописаны, допустим, ты получил высокую должность, а тебя всё равно обыскивает стража на предмет контрабанды, да ещё и 2 раза подряд. Репутация в игре ни на что не влияет. Вырезал 2 раза стражу в монастыре, никаких последствий. Да и многие вещи стоило бы доработать, например охоту. Животные просто спамятся перед лицом не на своих местах и просто патрулируют местность, не ходят на водопой и т.д. В местах появления оленей, почему-то ходят кабаны и т.д. Но всё это мелочи. В целом игра отличная. Лучшая РПГ в открытом мире со времён Ведьмака.
    Ещё хотел бы сказать про сложность. Поначалу игра настолько сложная, что вызывала проблемы даже стартовая локация, но где-то к середине игры, ты так прокачиваешься, что никто особо ничего тебе не может сделать. Можно вырезать целые отряды в одиночку. Не то чтобы я был против, РПГ должна тебе давать ощущение преимущества и крутизны, но я люблю когда игры более сбалансированы по сложности.
    Кто-то жаловался на малую продолжительность, мне лично хватило с лихвой. Пришлось даже брать перерыв, ибо через несколько дней запойного геймплея, игра поднадоела. +есть дополнения, которых даже не касался. В общем то всё, больше сказать нечего. Любителям РПГ от первого лица в открытом мире MUST HAVE. Лучшая игра со времён Скайрима!
    P.S. Хотелось бы ещё написать про спорную систему сохранений. Сохраняться можно только в специальных местах, по сюжету, когда берёте квест, либо сдаёте, либо по чекпоинтам. Также есть напитки, которые позволяют сохраниться. Проблема в том, что система не всегда работает. Сюжетные квесты не всегда имеют чекпоинты и порой приходится переигрывать по полчаса непонятно зачем. +ощущения дискомфорта, когда ты не можешь завершить игру когда тебе хочется, только потому что ещё не достиг чекпоинта. В общем система спорная, но не критичная. Да, я знаю, что есть фанатские патчи, которые правят, но я предпочитаю играть в игры так, как они задуманы разрабами.
    P.S.S. Хотелось бы сказать про боевую систему. Она хороша 1 на 1, но масовые замесы просто смешны. Либо тебя окружают злодеи и пиздят толпой, либо если стенка на стенку, обычно просто забиваешь противников исподтишка. Смотрится потешно. Можно просто зайти за спину противоборствующему отряду и расстреливать в спину из лука с трёх метров. Ни кто на тебя не отреагирует. Но это мелочи. Надеюсь разрабы к следующей части, всё это подтянут и лучше продумают.

    I love everything about this game: music, graphics, story, atmosphere. My only criticism is the imbalance of the main quests. It's not possible to play through the main story in one go without grinding, otherwise the fights will be too difficult. Apart from this I can recommend Kingdom come to every medieval or RPG fan.

Being rather 'late to the party' as it were, I was fortunate enough to have avoided the issues that many players had faced upon its initial release. While some minor aesthetic bugs remain, which are to be expected in an open-world game such as this, the experience of this game has been a truly wonderous and immersive experience to behold. After growing tired with my modded Skyrim which I had modded every which way to reinvigorate the game's stale and dated combat, I thought I would finally give this independently produced and highly ambitious game a shot. Soon did I realise that this game is far more than your typical open-world RPG, but a game that is utterly steeped in variety, from the many diolgue choices, the food and drink system, the sleeping mechanic, the fantastic alchemy system, the sword sharpening system, the incredible list of mechanics that satisfy the soul of a gamer goes on.

    While I could pour over the game's beautiful graphics and intriguing story for hours on end, I must note my minor gripes with the game; the voice-acting. It is understandable that a small team may have struggled to access a large cast of professional actors seeing as this was a kick-starter project, however, often I found myself unimmersed by the inclusion of some modern-sounding American voices. While, of course this is not even based in England, but in Eastern Europe, the inclusion of American voice-actors in scenes of dramatic weight often were unintentionally humorous with the butchering of placenames and the clashing of the rather colloquial English-written dialogue and the American delivery. Nonetheless, this is but a minuscule imperfection in an otherwise remarkable game.

    A number of players found issue with Kingdom Come: Deliverance's save system, that being that one must craft Saviour Schnapps or purchase it in apothecary's or taverns in order to save, or you may sleep. More often than not, this results in minor, or uncommonly heavy setbacks and repetition. For a casual player, of course, this is disheartening, however, I personally enjoy this mechanic for its brutal difficulty. It is, of course, not a nice experience to have to re-do progress that you have made, yet the game teaches you a valuable lesson in its punishment; "a failure to prepare is preparing to fail". If your armour is weak, it will break in a fight, leaving you exposed, if you don't have enough food; you will starve, if you don't sleep; you will become tired, impacting your charisma, these functions serve to immerse the player, and ensure that they are careful with money, also giving the player incentive to seek quests, to improve at fighting, at speech, at thievery, it is a driving force in the story, that in this world you can starve, you can die from wounds, and it is one of the many reasons why I love Kingdom Come: Deliverance. I am yet to experience the full story, but I am forty hours in, I shall be purchasing the DLC very soon and I await in anticipation what it may bring.

    You care for every single NPC in this game. the game has few but prominent people living in the cities and villages who have direct influence and are affected by what you do in the game, every NPC has a story of his own Even though Radiant AI was introduced by Bethesda long back But, this game takes a step further there is nothing hidden behind "quest triggers" in this game but, rather it's a completely alive and independent world which lives on its own , Here are few examples:
    1.If you sneak up in the garrison armory and steal weapons and armor while the gur=ards are sleeping the next day the guards patrolling would have no armor and weapons.
    2.During night time if you sneak up behind someone's house and you peek through his window a scribe would be seen busy in his study, you can see people performing their house chores even behind closed doors and walls the part of the game which is 98% of the time not visible to you if you don't see through the windows.
    3.People react to the armor you wear differently, the normal townfolk could respect you if you wear shining Plate armor at the same time women NPCs would seem more attractive towards you if you wear designer clothing bought from an esteemed tailor in the game
    ....
    and these are just to name a few if you go on youtube youll find a thousand little things the NPCs do which make them more real

    Gameworld: 9/10
    The story takes place during a war in Bohemia in 1403. On the orders of Hungarian king Sigismund, Cuman mercenaries raid the mining village of Skalitz, a major source of silver. ... Destitute and vengeful, Henry joins the service of Lord Radzig Kobyla, who leads a resistance movement against Sigismund's invasion. most of the characters you meet and the landmarks you visit are based on actual history which is a treat for trivial history buffs. the Map includes cities like Rattay, Sasau and few Town villages and mostly surrounded by countryside and thick forests.

    Gameplay: 8/10
    To be frank, the gameplay has a steep learning slope, and many players might consider this a bit uninviting as the game literally punishes you for being a peasant , it does a great job of putting you in the horrors of being trapped in a skirmish with trained soldiers and bandits and you react the same way a peasant would, you run and live to fight another day there are multiple ways you can avoid a direct conflict in this game which pushes and expands the traditional RPG elements. The truth is to get better in combat is tough and requires practice but once you get the hang of it and you see yourself gradually improving, and getting better every day it fuels your desire to get into fights more and more because fights in this game are rare and special you never are completely prepared for the game but the enemies will always surprise you nevertheless the more trained you get there are several enemy patterns and moves you master which enable you to take down enemies the same enemies which seemed like a nightmare before and the feeling of accomplishing that is so satisfying and rewarding that it just can't be described in words, Also the reason I have given this game 8/10 and not 10/10 is only because when fighting multiple enemies the interface falls a bit short, the targeting system here is a bit clunky so it becomes a hurdle to defend blows when many enemies are attacking you but again it's a small room for improvement which rarely matters as if you are really skilled there are ways to overcome those situations as well.

    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.
