    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

    i could not put the game down, i kept playing, deep into nights even. the game was absolutely gorgeous and so much fun to play. the combat is tons of fun and i actually wish it were more challenging (once you learn riposte the difficulty kinda becomes zero unless you're fighting 3 or more people), the world is 1403 bohemia. yes, that's it. it's 1403 bohemia, did you expect me to say beautiful, living, breathing? **** no, the world IS LITERALLY 1403 bohemia. when you put that headset on, turn the lights off in your room, you are transported to 1403 bohemia.

    **** this review is bad but seriously i cannot wait for what warhorse studios has next in the pipeline. considering they're a company with over 100 people now, i think they have the people to go even further next time.    … Expand

    Realism, now when it comes to realism of this game, their are some flaws, but very few, and very minor flaws, I have to say the realism that comes with this game is incredible, and the attention to detail that this game got is on another level. Now their is one minor issue if you are someone that likes to immerse yourself in a game, while the realism is incredible in this game, one issue that can take away from that immersion is the cut scenes throughout the game, while not bad or terrible, they are just too artificial to get that level of immersion that a lot of people look for in a game like this, though quite minor in comparison to the rest of the game, it is something.

    Quests, now when it comes to the length of the game in general, I have to say I was quite impressed, the share number of side quests is incredible, I've put quite a lot of time into this game already, and I have admit, their are many side quests I've yet to do, and for the main quests, well they're another story, the share depth and length that some of these missions have are incredible, while some seem quite repetitive and some also seem quite tedious, the majority bring a lot of enjoyment.

    Now for bugs and issues, I have to say their are surprisingly very little. In the hours I've put into this game, I've yet to come across and game changing, or major bug.

    Graphics and Fluidity, now when it comes to the graphics, it's insane, I do have to point out though, that this game is extremely CPU and GPU intensive, and I would have to point out a few flaws when it comes to optimisation in relations to other titles, but in all it delivers a fluid and breath-taking experience.

    In all, I would have to say it's an incredible game, and I would personally place it quite high on a list of all time favourites, most probably an A tier game, but if in relations to the recent array of games being released, well then this game has to be in the top 3 of recently released games. So if you're one of these people that have yet to play this masterpiece, you are seriously missing out. Yet another masterpiece by Warhorse Studios.    … Expand

    This game is a must play. It's a slow burn medieval adventure sim that takes no prisoners and forces the player to think through their actions rather than spoon feeding them.

    Graphics are beautiful, story is compelling and combat is the most visceral you'll find, the creators actually having taken the time to engage Historical European martial artists to aid them in finding a realistic feel for the combat.

    One of a kind medieval RPG with an enthralling story and very believable recreation of medieval Bohemia. The music sets the scene very well with a memorable soundtrack which changes as you travel between environments. The combat system does well to capture the feel of historically accurate sword combat which I look forward to seeing being developed even further in future instalments.

Its open world is vastly more vibrant with any singular NPC being filled with more life than all 8 voice actors in Skyrim combined. It contains large-scale medieval warfare, medieval tournament play, and even romance. A crafting system more robust than anything we've seen in quite some time. All this, while working with barely a fraction of the budget Bethesda threw at ESV:S. This game is worthy of high praise, and should be a must-have for any RPG fan.… Expand

The voice acting is mostly great, the lipsync is occasionally not adequate though. The story so far exceeded my expectations, its pretty tense, makes sense and is very educational actually. As far as I checked and from what I remember from history classes, its historically accurate which really makes you immersed in the story. The audio, especially the medieval themes is a treat. The combat is a bit clunky and takes time to get used to, its very much a Mount & Blade inspired directional strike and block system, though slower. Its a good compromise imo, fitting for their "realistic" theme. Other mechanics like lock picking and alchemy are great imo. The biggest problem for me so far are the absolutely unnecessary picking up animations, they are incredibly repetitive and those 2 seconds will feel like eternity after a while. The dialogues are a mixed bag, sometimes they feel organic, sometimes there are awkward pauses and out of place intonations, all in all though, the exchanges are enjoyable and often hilarious(in a good way). The looting system is alright, if you´re one of those hema nuts, you´ll be impressed by all the layers of equipment and gear you can put on. You can also choose your style, you can solve most of your problems if your speech is good enough and you choose correctly, if you want to go rambo, you can do that as well and if you want to sneak around and steal everything, that option is there too. All in all, its a pretty complex single player rpg with amazing visuals with pretty fresh and original setting and as far as I can tell, with a very high replay value.… Expand

    Combat is challenging, but rewarding when you figure out its mechanics. Hint: Use the bow on sheep, cows, and pigs until you hit about level 5. (Do this at night so people can't blame you for it). At level 5 the wobble that Henry's aim has decreases tremendously. And from there I'd recommend going poaching/hunting in the woods for money. Helps to talk to the tanners around and see what kind of skins and meat they want.

    Ultimately this is a game that if you're willing to learn how it works, will give you a great story, and remind you how a fresh perspective on game design can give you a great experience.    … Expand

This is good, as it gives you a sense of vulnerability and makes things more intense and how you approach situations is important because the risk is greater.
    I recently started replaying Witcher 3 and i see they used a few of the features in KC:D that they did in that game, so it was nice having some familiar components (if it's not broke, don't fix it). The swordplay is challenging to learn, but the timing and combos are familiar if you've played Witcher games.
    Cons so far would be sometimes you get forced by the main story to do something you might not want to do in a way you might not want to do it, but i think that will drop off as i get out of the initial game setting.
    As for game quality in the performance and graphics realm, it's been awesome, very smooth performance. I'm getting average of 75fps with the graphics turned up to high/very high and LOD maxed out. I have a i7 6770k and an Nvidia gtx 1070, and everything performs very well.    … 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.
