    I love this game. It is a true RPG and at the same time educational due to its realism and historical accuracy. Highly recommend this game to History Nerds like me, but also for the average gamer because it is extremely rewarding , unlike other games that make you a god king .

    This game is more than just a great game. It brought something new to the market, it opened new perspectives. When I was a kid, I was dreaming of such a kind of game : an extremely realistic RPG taking place in the middle-age, in Europa. Warhorse studios made this dream come true.

It brought something new to the market, it opened new perspectives. When I was a kid, I was dreaming of such a kind of game : an extremely realistic RPG taking place in the middle-age, in Europa. Warhorse studios made this dream come true.

    I think at this stage, almost everyone is aware of the kind of game this is, but I feel the need to repeat it here : beware, this is not what we got used to call RPG those last years. To me, the last Fallout, the last Bioshock or M&B aren't RPGs. This is an opinion, this is not a fact. No need to develop my point, that's not the matter. But if you don't agree with this statement, you will probably not enjoy Kingdom Come Deliverance.

    Although very good, I don't think the critics score is extremely relevant here. Btw, this score just reminds me how badly my beloved video-game industry evolved; this media I used to put above cinema and even books. Now that it has became mainstream, ideologists decided to corrupt it. Some reviews brought KCD down on false allegations of racism, sexism and whatnot. Those reviewers gave bad marks because they felt attacked in their beliefs. Everything is political to them, everything sends a message. Realism doesn't matter, ideological propaganda does. Which is absurd when the topic aims at being as realistic and historically accurate as possible.

    On the other hand, I believe the user score gives a better indication on the game quality. This is a game you'll love or this is a game you'll hate. If you like RPG, if you like history, if you like the middle-age, you'll love this game. If you expect it to be a story-driven M&B (sounds like an oxymoron), you'll be disappointed.    … Expand

    RPG the way it was and should be.
    I been following KDC since the kickstarter and was very hyped for the game, the hype died a bit when realese got closer, didn't think the combat would be fun and didn´t know if it gonna be fun to play the game at all. Boy was i wrong, i was hooked 2 weeks straight until i finish the game. Now im waiting for the DLC stuff. Goodwork Warshorse

    Absolutely loved the game, while the difficulty curve was something to be used to and some of the early game bugs, while hilarious, did make certain features more difficult than intended. The team has been working hard to polish these out and some 100+ hours later the game is truly a gem in the rough.
    Great story, memorable characters, wondrous scenery and of course, great game play.

    It is the living thing and you are being taken away from one world to another - not the dreamworld, but world you easily believe in.

    It is like hyperspace jump whenever you switch off the PC - and it takes a while to decompress from this outer space and realize where you are....

    I will not discuss mechanics, skills, game-play, this is done by others. I do not need to compare it to some big players in RPG genre as crowds already did.

    This is simply different, unique, and for its uniqueness it will definitely expand the boundaries of whole industry. It deserves attention (and big success in terms of incomes) as this is moving industry somewhere… Believe me, this will silently push the sensual story-lines, screenplays, and credibility of all open world games - simply as people who tried it and experienced it will demand it again as they will miss these new feelings… And people who creates video-games will try to deliver similar experience to avoid endless and trillionth copy of sandbox where you are repeating the same stuff with only different backgrounds on and on - without any sense, but of course – like complete, total and brutal superhero.

    And I do not give a damn my text above is full of cliche crap and it is admiring, not criticizing and not showing any details about the Game.

    Experience it yourself, discover it, see it and FEEL it your selves - I would not steal any 1/1000000 from you by revealing you something more than emotions...

    This is literally changing your state of mind and feelings about the future for whole – the time has come when movies really sucks compared to this experience!    … Expand

    RPG bordering on LARPing :) Never spent so much time worrying about the condition of my fancy hat in a game. Extremely beautiful, so immersive. The difficulty is a cherry on top, you have to EARN everything here. After 80 hours i still get worried about upcoming fights, stealing anything, saying anything. I never want to go back to "normal" save system, its just cheating, ha.

KC:D is the game that I've been waiting my entire gaming life for. Regardless of the launch issues, to me, this game is RPG perfection, in every way. At times, it can be hard. More than most games in recent history, both the player and the character needs to level up to fully appreciate the experience. There's no spoon-feeding here. There is a genuine story to discover, that's deeper and more real than most, as you, the player, learn the game's mechanics and systems. Very rarely in recent times have I felt the satisfaction from a game than i felt from this game. From the past 20 years, KC:D joins three other games that have been this enjoyable and impactful to me, personally - Morrowind, Dark Souls and Persona 5. To me, this game is perfection, and I can't wait to see what Warhorse does next. I hope it's the second and third chapters to this magnificent experience.… Expand

    This is a true RPG, one where you 'Role Play', one with a realistic atmosphere, deep lore, great narrative, interesting NPCs to befriend or make enemies from... But most of all: A wealth of complex sidequests, all of them with their own stories and a myriad ways to solve, many of them with direct implications over the main quest. I love how organic it feels.

    This game respects the player and his time, and for me it has earned a place at the top of my Pure-RPGs list, right at the side of Vampire:Bloodlines and Fallout NV.    … Expand

    This game transposes you to the medieval era, it does not have super heroes, it does not have magic shenanigans, you fight with your light/heavy armor on, with your sword and optionally a shield, or with your bow. It is as realistic as it gets, the only magical/mystical elements are only through the eyes and superstitions of some of the characters, and they are presented very humorously with always pointing out the real/rational explanation for them. It also catches the religious fanaticism which used to govern that era, even your own character has a great fear of God. The landscapes, the villages, the castles are very authentic to the era and the location where the action happens.

    Also there is a big dose of unexpectedly good humor in it, many of the quests are absolutely hilarious, they made me laugh my ar$e of.

    The combat system is very ingenious, the combos , the ripostes, the feints, the perfect blocks are all great and not so easy to master, you must do any of them at the right time when you see an opening in the adversary's defenses or when you create an opening, it's definitely not a spamming mess, it actually requires practice to be good at it. When outnumbered the fight becomes extremely hard even when you have all the expensive armors and weapons, especially if the adversaries are also well armed; you never become the unbeatable beast you see in other games, which only adds to the realism. Also the enemies will chase you to the end of the world if you don't get to ride your horse and run if in trouble, they can also dismount you and kill you if you don't put some distance in time.

    But nothing stops you from going more stealthy, what you wear actually makes you either more stealthy or more resilient to damage through heavy armor but more noisy and visible. Keep in mind that all/most NPC's sleep at night.

    The perks system is also cool, and I did not find any of them to make you really OP, which is really nice.

    At the start of the game prepare to be beaten a lot , you only become more badass at fighting after one of the main quests.

    Many people complain about bugs, I only encountered a few, and only one if I recall correctly which prevented me from finishing a quest, and required a reload of an older save. This is another quality of the game, it does not limit you with anything, you can finish most quests in more than one way, so if one is buggy, you can go for another way to do it, but as I said this was only the case like once.

    Also the alchemy system, the lockpicking, the pickpocketing, re-sharpening your swords by hand after they get blunt, all are let's call them mini-games, and all add to the charm of the game, this game does not hold your hand with anything, you must earn everything and you s**k at everything in the beginning.

    You really start as an ordinary peasant which cannot even read, you must progress to become better and better at everything, you must actually earn the respect of the other characters in the game by hard work, by continuously improving yourself, to become a noble.

    In conclusion, I really recommend it, it is a very good deal with lots and lots of entertaining hours for a more than reasonable amount of your bucks.

    I just love trotting along on the back of my horse through a medieval forest or landscape and just take it all in. I love that you start as a lowly peasant who isn't that good at anything but you can grow your character to be a capable man-at-arms.    … 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.
