    Tbh, I can't even call this walking simulator a game, story is ripoff cheap Indian movie, cheap story, bad realization, quest are quite banal, but have some OK ones, mostly this program is about walking, riding, bugging, glitching, talking, walking, riding, bugging, glitching...

They add food, but you can eat this food everywhere for free, you are hungry ? Np, find first house, go inside, take food, then go sleep on to their bad. You can earn money easily, just find lone house in the middle of the plains and steal dresses from there, but I did not find where and why I should even spend this money, gear ? Np too, you can earn gear same way, just knock down lone guy in plains and take his closes, go to lone house, sleep for two days and here you are, free gear, food, money, combat is very subjective, so will say, that it's slow, most Massive combats in this game are with about 3 guys around you, also you can thrust enemy with exe and hammer... So realistic!!!
    Graphics is bad, it do not even have FX effects, that was implemented in gaming in 2008, no volumetric effects, no lighting effects... Textures are soap, grass is 2D, only wood looks OK, but you can just search Cryengine 3 and you will find tons of videos with Forest on Cry3... Yes, some places look nice, but very outdated, also game runs worse, than BDO and ARK:SE on ultra settings in 50vs50 PvP... Shortly graphics is poor and performance is garbage, especially for such soap visuals.
    About 35% of the game you will be in dialogues, so it should be a powerful part of the game... But NO! dialogues are banal, mostly idiotic and boring, NPCs will talk so many !@#$, that you did not even ask, but will say nothing useful, primary quest dialogues are also bad as hell, meaningless and boring, mostly I had feeling, that playing old cheap garbage movie. Other 50% of the game you will be on road, move from point A, to point B, to point C, to point D, to point E, to point F, to point G, to point H............. Yes, this is almost whole gameplay in this game, moving from point to point, Hello from MMORPGs from 1998 ?... Also when you are moving around, then nothing happen, absolutely nothing happen, world is empty, even in DayZ in solo you will not experience so empty world, and even world do not look good to just move and admire the scenery, still, there are some places, that look nice, but mostly world is ugly, so if you want something to happen, than better "fastravell", then there is more chances, that someone will attack you to finally play the game. And just 5% of the game is entire gameplay. Also intro and prologue is almost 2+ hour long, probably it's made to force player to spend more, than 2h in the game, so you will not able to refund the game, but whole intro and prologue mostly are cutscenes, that have bugs, but look ok, and infinity and boring dialogues about nothing, some useless NPC will tell you story about her whole life for about 30mins will go just on that and you can't skip it, so there are some scenes where someone is killing your family, then you for 1h will be playing walking simulator, then again dialogues about nothing... Also people talk about Realistic Armor... But who give a !@#$ about how realistic armor is if there is no content to play with... And yes, armor have interesting realization, not realistic tbh, but interesting, but game do not really give you a content to use that armor, whole gameplay ion this game is just about 2-3h from 60h of walking and talking about boring and useless and meaningless themes...
    So take care if you are looking to purchase it, wait for free weekend and then try it.
    Also it's a game 5/10 as the game, but cos of all this 10/10 from new accounts who created just one review on this source, I give it 0/10, but it's an average level game, not a !@#$, but definitely not a great. So take care, wait for patches and fixes and try it before purchasing it, cos you will not have enough time to understand what game is in 2 hours to refund it back.

    This game is in just one word, (Encredible). Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an outstanding and special game. nothing like this has really been done before with this succes. many games have tried, but it just hasn't worked.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an outstanding and special game. nothing like this has really been done before with this succes. many games have tried, but it just hasn't worked.

    what a lot of people don't seem to understand about the game sometimes is that this game strives on realism and is supposed to have slow combat and all that, but indeed, the saving system is one of the worst travisties for this game in my opinion, it is still an awesome game that anybody who loves RPG should definetly play.

    Pros:
    Realistic system
    Not at all a bad storyline
    The stealth and lockpicking system is quite different from other games
    Historically acurrate
    Great Graphics
    Vast speech and social system

    Cons:
    Very Glitchy (but these can be fixed with updates in the future)
    Not such a big map if you really think about it
    Saving system is utterly trash and should be remade
    Clunky controls at times
    Lack of fov settings
    Extremely laggy and unsupportive even on lowest settings

    Overall:
    Outstanding and creative game, the story is quite good and very interesting at the start too but it has a lot of bugs and a terrible, just terrible saving system. it's a fresh game straight out of the oven but should have been polished more. Kingdom Come: Deliverance needs to be fixed from all of these bugs and glitches and added a new save system. extremly realistic i would say with a food, rest and injury system. and the combat feels satisfying but a bit clunky. Great game, hope they fix the bugs and so on and they could have a 10 on their hands

    Update: this game is still missing alot of features and is a drag to play again. My rating for this game has went down, and i't will probably not go up.    … Expand

Also, the battle system is very stupid and realized bad at all. The big world of KCD is empty, in the forest you'll not see wolves, bears, rabbits etc. Also, the world is very poor for events. Quests...quests are quite same and looks alike previous till the end of the game. Questers don't see the difference who standing in front of them, a peasant, or a full armored crusader. Anyway, you'll go to collect herbs to cure the NPCs open fracture(lol, a part of their realism). Every village in which you came, all NPC saying same phrases. In this medieval world, you will not have a food deficiency, every house has a pot with the food. You can freely eat from them and nobody will say you "What are you doing, you stealing my food, WTF". Same story with the beds, you can sleep on each bed which you find, without any aftermaths. You can stun a guard, steal all his items, and he will do what? Right, or - nothing, or - will fight you with the bare hands versus your sword!!! Great realism.... The game has a ton of similar moments. I will not talk about a 100 ton of bugs in this "earlier beta" game. Funny to see that someone write that 'Great story'.... LOL no, this is not true. The story in this game is a cliche, based on revenge. Nothing unique. This piece of monkeys **** is a greater scam, with the 60$ price. Warhorse, I show you my middle finger!… Expand

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

    This has the potential to be one of the best RPG's ever made, it makes Witcher 3 look like a kids game for casual gamers.

The big issue with the game at the moment, is that it is unpolished, ridden with game breaking bugs, not just a handful, but I have come across over 30 bugs to date. For a game priced at and over AAA games, it is beyond a joke at hour much work this game still needs to be called a finished product.

    The difficulty of the game is initially very frustrating, but once you understand what the developer is trying to achieve with this game, you start to see it as an almost perfect execution of an RPG. The voice acting is woeful/awful in the game, the acting lacks emotion and doesn't line up with what is happening on screen.

    Locking picking is extremely hard, which is how it should be, and becomes an enjoyable challenge to open harder locks. The combat needs work. The concept is there but the application is lacking. It just doesn't flow as it should and when you see cut scenes, you wonder why you can't do what you see in the actual game.

However, in spite of these flaws, the game is just utterly fantastic. I don't remember the last time I've been thinking of a game this much when I'm not playing it. 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

    Das ist, mit dem oberen Realismusteil, einfach nicht der Bringer... zu schnell entwickelt sich die Story, man macht einen Wachgang und schon gehts ab... diese 0815 Rachestory und "ich muss das Schwert meines Herren wiederholen" ziehen einfach nicht... ist wie bei Elder Scrolls, die Hauptstory ist dort immer das Schwächste, aber die vielen genialen Nebenquest bessern es aus, diese sind hier eher aber selten und Klischeeabfertigung...

    Im Endeffekt ist es für mich kein Realismus, sondern der Versuch ein Actionfeuerwerk ala Witcher 3 zu produzieren, was jetzt keines von beiden geworden ist... vieles am Gameplay macht spaß, wie die verschiedenen Lösungsmöglichkeiten, aber es genügt halt nicht, aber vielleicht ist auch mein Anspruch zu hoch...    … Expand

I personally have experienced some real bad glitches. One in particular meant I had lost 4 hours of gameplay having to load up an old save. Annoying? Oh most certainly, but this game just beacons me back in. The story is just fantastic, not playing as the all powerful warrior crushing all who oppose you and instead playing as a humble blacksmiths son who starts of so underwhelming is so refreshing. The save system is unforgiving and takes me back to the 90’s style of FU if you die mechanics, meaning every fight and decision you make that much more important and worthwhile. Even when I fail a vital task or die because I rode ol’ pebbles off the cliffside (or just a very steep incline). It makes the player more cautious when playing which is a bonus. Ok so sure I’ve failed due to bugs or even the occasional glitch here and there.. and there also. However I just can’t hate this game. When everything is going smoothly you really can feel immersed in this game. You can try to rush through the story perhaps using your charm to talk your way through situations but good luck in a fight! On the other hand you can develop Henry into a merciless killer, taking what he pleases (along with the consequences that coincide with such actions). Either way however your play style, it’s the development of your meek character into a tried and tested survivor and then further still into a veteran of wars (if that’s how you want to play of course). I recall when my friend who was early into the game asked me “How do you save a woman about to be assaulted by heavily armed and armoured soldiers” Since he got the option to do so. I simply said “you don’t save her”. To which he replied “Why does the game give you the option”. To which my typical douche response was “because she is about to be assaulted, you don’t want that to happen do you?”, we went back and forwards for a while until he understood that while just because the game gives you the choice to try and be the hero, earlier in the game you will just end up another victim of war. This game makes you assess situations and learn from your mistakes, and that is the one of the best features of Kingdom come deliverance. I look forward to seeing how Warhorse develops this game further now they have seen how many fans this game has generated.. along with what I can only assume is a nice slice of revenue. I will be awaiting all the updates and cannot wait to see what DLC they will release... I will be waiting with my wallet in hand ready to throw all my cash monies at them.

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.

    overall an awesome game
    hope the developer can make a sequel or even other game that have a similiar history vibe from it.    … Expand

    Pros:
    -good engaging story

    -visuals
    -good writing/some funny dialogs
    -some features can be really fun (accidentally got drunk before shooting range, couldn't hit the target once, laughed my ass off)
    -holy **** first time ever other npc-s act rationally (I was really surprised by that)

    Cons:
    -some bugs/glitches (non game breaking so far)
    -a bit too many loading screens
    -hunger feature is annoying sometimes
    -saving system, though they said it'll be fixed in a couple of weeks

    As for performance issues: I'm sure they'll be fixed, I for one am playing it on a 3 year old laptop and though it's running on low settings, I'm not experiencing any lagg, so I'm happy with it. (specs: intel i5-4210M, nvidia geforce 840M 2Gb, 8Gb ddr3 memory)

    Masterpiece!
    Forget those mediocre ratings complaining about bugs, loading time, gameplay and the like. The game is beautiful, has a very good story and full of emotions. You feel that every decision, every step of yours makes a difference and influences the story. I caught myself thinking if I had made another decision what would have happened ...

    This game is till now my Top game of 2018. So far I have spent around 35 hours in a beautifully designed World. The game covers, as far as I know, a realistic Story. It is set in Medieval Bohemia at around 1400.

So far I have spent around 35 hours in a beautifully designed World. The game covers, as far as I know, a realistic Story. It is set in Medieval Bohemia at around 1400.

    If you really want to enjoy this game, then you will have to take yourself some time. In the 35 hours I have not even cleared the entire Map yet, even though it is not nearly the biggest one I've ever seen. This is not a game you can play for an hour or so and then turn off. This can also be seen when looking at the save system. You can only save in a bed, or with so called "Saviours Schnaps", which is actually pretty expensive. This means, that If you die, you will lose a lot of progress. This is a game you should play for a few hours on a quiet evening, or on the weekend.

    I have read often that the Combat System is really crappy. Either because the controls are to difficult or enemys are too strong. But I have to disagree. Combat gets gradually easier the more you practice. But it can still be a challenge if you fight against a well armed, and trained oponnent. A fight can easily last 5 minutes. This is, because in this game you are no one man army. You are boy, a blacksmiths apprentice. Two enemys are difficult, close combat with more than two is nearly Impossible. Just as it should be with a realistic game. The combat system is based on HEMA (Real medieval techniques) but still slowed down and simplified a lot since it is still just a game. And the combat can really be fun If you are willing to Invest time to learn it.

    And yes, there are bugs in it. I have not encountered that many, but got one which keeps me from completing a side quest. And the german lip sync su**s. The english one is good.

    But I can easily forgive that. The world is just amazing. Again realistic. If your riding through a forest ontop of a horse, then your simply riding through a forest. A forest just like in the real world. Densely filled with Plants everywhere and birds chirping everywhere around you. But keep in mind that there are no enemys lurking behind every tree like in other games. You can just look around and enjoy a nice view for once. This is one of the best parts of the game for me. The immersion. People get to know you, react to how you look. For example: Going shopping.
    - Normal, dirty clothes: God bless you.
    - Full, shining plate Armor: Good day to you, sir. How can I be of help?
    The World changes around you by how you behave. Not only in such small things, but also regarding the quests. Things get easier or sometimes even harder because of your decisions and you just have to live with it because you cant simply quicksave. There are sometimes even different endings of a quest or at least different cutscenes because of the options you chose.

    And I do also love the progression system. You learn by doing. At the start you don't know how to read. (Yet again immersion here) The game does not forbid you to open the book (like other games), but the Text will look like this: "hsTi si a nogl ettx." But with some practice you are slowly able to understand it: "Tish is a logn Tetx.", etc. You learn stuff by doing it, and with more experience you can then unlock small "Skills" which will help you out a little. Like new combos with weapons.

    Some People give this game a very bad Rating. But this game is going back to the roots of video games. Learn by yourself. Do stuff yourself. You dont know everything at the beginning, you will have to find stuff out. Try stuff out. But today, many players are just used to games where you are able to do everything straight away. This game is a step back to old games like Gothic regarding this.
    I think this is what some people just dont seem to understand.

    So far I really like the Quests too. The main quests are quite Interesting but there are not many Plot twists in it as far as I have seen it.
    But there are also many interesting side quests which cover Topics which were around at this time, like a witch hunt or the unhappines with the church.
    Untill now I have only seen 2 classical "collect and get a reward" quests. (MMO Grinding Style) 1. Go hunting 2. Go kill bandits at a camp (latter one is very good for diversity)

    But you don't find that much in the world without quests. It is very quest driven, just like the german "GameStar" said: "You cant explore dozens of Caves which are filled with Skeletons and loot (Skyrim)." It is just a realistic world.

    The Performance is not bad at all. I can easily run ultra settings with 60 FPS. But I do also have a good setup (I7 8700, 16 GB RAM, GeForce 1060 6GB).

    Conclusion:

    If you are open for a realistic medieval game with real topics from that time, in which you will have to Invest time to learn stuff, explore and try things out. Then this will be the game for you. There are some small flaws and glitches in it, but If you can look past these, then this can be a grand experience in a greatly designed world.    … Expand

It has its downsides for sure, there are some bugs as well but nothing that couldn't be fixed and it definitely isn't as bad as many people try to paint it.

    This game definitely isn't for casual gamers but for mature people who love a good game with some challenge, perfect story, incredible landscape, game mechanics and a superb immersive experience.

    This game is worth every penny and if it should help the developers to produce sequels or any other games like this one I would be willing to purchase this game even 4 times for its full price, that is how much I enjoy playing it. It is finally a game with which I am not bored a few hours in the game as is the case for me with 95% of all the current so called "AAA" production which is meant for casual gamers/kids who appreciate the "click, click, click" kind of gameplay.

    To debunk some of the claims in the negative reviews I've read so far:

    Performance is poor
    I am playing the game on i7700k, 16gb ram, SSD drive and an old GTX 770 on high details 1080p and I am getting around 25-50 fps. It is good enough for me, I do not see any textures appearing out of nowhere as people say (most probably the SSD helps here). Of course the performance could be better but I honestly can't expect more from such an old card. I also believe that with some more patches it will run a tiny bit better. Given the fact that this is enough for me I haven't really played with the settings and I am sure I could improve the performance by some tweaking easily.

    Incomplete save system
    The save system isn't missing anything and is just perfect. You want to save the game and keep your groshen? Go sleep or finish/take up a quest. You are a few hours into the game and have the groshen? Buy the savior schnapps and save your game whenever you like. I really don't need the Save&Exit or quick save or anything else, I honestly think it would break the immersion which is great now exactly thanks to the fact that you don't save so often so you need to be ready to run if things turn ugly.

    Clumsy/hard combat
    The combat definitely isn't a "click, click, click, win" type of combat and that is what I like about it. In the 30 hours of gameplay I've died just once and it was simply because I wanted to see if I can take up a Cuman chasing me when I didn't wear absolutely any armor and held a sword in my hand literally for the first time so no wonder a seasoned marauder cut me in half with no problem at all.
    Honestly I'd say after a few hours in the game that the combat could have been even harder since it feels to easy to me already, the only problem (lack of skills/knowledge most probably) I have with guys wielding a shield, it takes a little longer to beat them, everything else is not a problem and I can take on multiple opponents at once without being hurt. So hard combat? Really?

    Game breaking bugs
    In some 30 hours of gameplay I had to reload the game twice. Once I got stuck jumping over a fence on a horse and second time I flew up into the skies accessing alchemy table.

    To sum up
    This game isn't for kids, it isn't even rated as such, it is a game for people who can appreciate a good game and they will definitely love it.    … Expand

    Fantastic game by a wonderful developer, shows off a medieval world with an attention to detail rarely seen these days. Ignore the salty journalists in the critic section, they'll happily give AAA unfinished microtransaction trash 70+ scores while deriding this game for a few bugs, they're just mad because they got dunked on by gamergate and the devs supported it.

    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.
