    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.    This game is very immersive and makes you feel like you are actually in medieval times.

    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.    … Expand

    Adorable quirky "sort of old school" medieval RPG.

    (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.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

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.… Expand

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.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    Let's Break it Down

    STORY: 9/10
    Your Motive to push forward in this game is fueled by vengeance ..every move you do, every enemy you kill feels satisfying because of the motive behind it , characters in this game matters, you Hate them, and you love them, there are times where I have gone berserk and stabbed an already dead enemy multiple time due to the effect of his character on me and the I hatred I had towards it.

    Non-Playable Characters and AI: 10/10
    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.    … Expand

    I myself live in Europe and the graphics and atmosphere are extremely authentic. The woods really feel like European woods. And they arent empty either! There are bandits, loggers, many different animals, people in distress, patrols, people who try to screw you over, etc.
    The villages and cities all feel very alive and have their real day and night cycle. For example you wont find an open store at night, but you might find the shopkeepers and guards that had a shift at day in a tavern. The guards will stop you and search you if you look suspicious and at night will scold you if you dont have a torch out.
    The story is extremely diverse, too. You can do good things, not so good things and bad things. Sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. Even the superstition of those times is very well depicted.
    The dialogue is very good and sometimes even very deep. The characters are all likable (or unlikable, if intended). You might even start to like some characters that you disliked before, because they are so well made and with time show their real personality. The side quests are actually really fun and dont feel like MMO quests, like in most other games nowadays. And they can be mostly completed (or messed up) in different ways.
    And theres no modern political/PC/SJW BS, which would only destroy the historical accuracy.
    However the politics of that time are very well depicted. Sometimes you will hate them, yet have to follow them (or dont, if you want and take the consequences). But other times you will at first think they are horrible, only to realize people really arent all stereotypes and actually have their own mind.

    Sure, it has quite a few bugs. Even today still. But they are tolerable, because the game blows you away with everything else. And if you save the game regularly, you can dodge them one or the other way almost completely.

    I cant really describe it any other way than as a masterpiece of art. It helped me rediscover my love for medieval history, too.

    Even if you pirated this game, you should realize how well it was done and still buy it so they can do a sequel.
    And the sequel will be an instant buy for me, and I normally dont buy games at release.    … Expand

Then move on to other things like spotting clues to locate the quest objectives whereabouts and then the objective itself. You will also need to consult the codex frequently before you command adequate mastery of the game mechanics and rely less on the compendium.

    The side missions are incorporated within the main story seamlessly, in contrast to the recent trend of including side quests as an afterthought just to make players spend more time playing the game. You will find great little plots and small mysteries to enjoy as well as the overarching story if you keep a balanced diet of completing main and side quests.

    Kingdom Come is a non-compromising RPG which will keep you on your toes all the time and will punish you if you lose focus, at the same time it offers a relaxing pace and stints of tranquility as an inseparable part of its setting. In short, it's an RPG for RPG lovers.    … Expand

    Game definitely has potential but in it's current state it is a bug ridden mess that clearly needed another 8-12 months dev time before release. Everyone keeps giving Warhorse a free pass because they are supposedly a small studio but that is no excuse as far as I'm concerned as the game is being sold at a AAA price and their are plenty of small studios that release stable games on launch.

    - Story: one of the best I've experienced in my entire life and I have been gaming for more than 25 years. really engaging story. even most side quests have small interesting stories behind them.

    - Graphics: absolutely incredible. I've never seen any more realistic depiction of nature in a game before. it seems every inch of the game world is handcrafted with great amount of attention to detail instead of just copy pasting like it is done in other open world games. you don't see this attention to detail even in triple A titles from big, rich developers.

    - Gameplay: combat system is one of the best. at first it felt clunky but after several hours of playtime it became very satisfying and rewarding. it's not just button mashing, you have to learn how to fight, you have to think before every move.

    - Sound and music and voice acting: great specially if you consider it's from an independent developer with not so big budget.

    - Atmosphere: you can really feel the atmosphere of middle ages. very realistic and accurate in my opinion.

    Cons

    - Bugs: as of now despite many patches(game version 1.9) there are still some bugs. imagine how buggy it was on release date.

    - Performance and optimization: this game requires high end GPU and CPU. even on a top end PC, frequent frame drops can occur specially in big cities. also SSD is a must. at first I installed it on a HDD and the experience was frustrating to say the least. long loading times everywhere. just starting a conversation with random NPC leads to several seconds of watching loading screen. exiting the conversation also another several seconds. every single activity needs loading time, surprisingly long too. even textures takes a long time to load, sometime it takes more than five seconds to appear on objects around you! loading time on HDD was extremely nerve-racking. but installing it on SSD solved most of those issues. texture loading issue is fully solved and loading times are now greatly reduced. if you don't have a SSD just forget about this game unless you have the patience of a saint.

    Overall this game is great, I would give it 9 because of bugs and those performance issues but I have not enjoyed a game this much at least over the last decade so how can I give it less than 10.    … Expand

    Combat is highly dynamic and skill-based, demanding that you watch the opponent's sword arm carefully. Stealth works wonderfully, taking into account how the player is dressed and the environment. Archery is extremely difficult but if done well also very powerful - it truly conveys the risk/reward aspect an archer would've dealt with in medieval times as long-range shots are nearly impossible to land unless having trained a lifetime, forcing him to swap to melee after a few shots.

    Even alchemy, food, sleep and equipment repair are done very intelligently and immersively. Characters are believable and brilliantly designed, their dialogue written to a high standard. The player is even illiterate at the start of the game!

    There are some flaws, notably in the AI, the extreme overpowered-ness the player achieves near the end (I've killed some 200 well-armed and well-trained soldiers, even in 10v1 without any trouble) and the horse's deranged tendency to get stuck in small bushes.

    But, we can't fault Warhorse for these minor issues given their tiny budget. All in all I'd rate this game over 9000.    … Expand

I completed around 30-40% of the game and it's unplayable due to a technical bug - basically my screen shakes like crazy whenever I move or turn camera. Plus there some other graphical glitches, clipping and performance is iffy in some locations (-3pts because I technically cannot continue without a patch)

    The other complaint I'm having is that game feels like far from finished, more like early access or early beta version. This naturally includes various bugs and graphical glitches - and there is still quite a lot of them - tho only one mentioned in disclaimer is completely game breaking - others either have workarounds or can be ignored since they are not extremely intrusive. Some things simply just do not work - like some perks or learning of those perks or combos. Then we have combat system that severely lacks polishing - it's quite unresponsive, problematic forced target locking which makes fights one vs many very dodgy to say the least and controls of the combat could get some major improvements - in other words, idea for the combat system wasn't bad, but execution severely lacked development time. Then we have some systems that don't make much logical sense: necessity to eat is absolutely pointless, because there are free meal pots and that renders all other food obsolete. Next system that doesn't make sense is stealing - basically everything is considered stolen (except what you loot from defeated foes) regardless if there was witness or not, hell even items you take from abandoned camps are considered stolen. And the worst part is - how easily you can sell stolen items - either you sell it to "black market" vendor or just go to town in different region. These two systems are not immersive completely. (-2pts)

    Now some good things - I'll start by saying, that if not what was talked above, game would be easily 9/10 - but it's one of most rushed out and unpolished games I've played since Skyrim? I think writing is really good, with nice humor and interesting characters. Quests for the most part are done well with more or less interesting backstory (some are crazy good and funny), with just few being real fetch. Game world is beautiful tho feels bit empty and vast at times (not a big issue, but sign of lack of development time). I like progression system which is basically practice based - as you do certain activities you gain experience for certain stats and you become better at those activities (so no silly skill points you distribute at random), there are only perks which slightly alter or extend your specific abilities and I like that a lot.

    Summary: it's quite good game but sadly extremely rushed to release with tons of bugs and glitches and despite fact that around 500 of them been fixed with patch 1.3, there are still game breaking stuff left (or maybe introduced in 1.3) like the one I talked about in disclaimer leaving player with nothing but waiting for the next patch. It's real shame good games are ruined by terrible state there are released in.

    Some people may find my verdict cruel, but sorry - paid AAA price for it and I'm treating it like any other AAA release. For $60 I find such game state (with bugs making me unable to continue) completely disgusting (thus -3pts for this one alone) and now I have to wait hell knows how much longer for next patch to be able to finish the game. Also lack of polish and logic in some systems that either are so pointless that become unnecessary chore or are just annoying and intrusive for basically no reason. Also allegedly game is missing some bits (some say it's missing whole act) which most like to be released in DLC (probably paid one) or even a sequel (which is even worse) so I have to cut at least another 2pts for these. (so -5pts total).

    Maybe one day it'll be nice and bug free game with some quality polish, but as things stand now I strongly advise not to ruin your experience and wait with your buys. Technical state of the game is still unacceptable.    … Expand

    here are a few of the problems without any spoilers:

    1. you need to use an item to save or sleep in a bed, this is a mechanic i quite like actually but comes apart with how much the game crashes/ freezes causing you to lose (on some occasions) hours of game play.
    2. Some quests are just plain broken (they wont let you talk to a character you need to)
    3. Some of the controls are tricky at first and the game gives vary little tutorials
    4. There is a quest in the game that ones started corrupts your other save files...yes i mean it
    5. the big one here is that the developers are not answering questions and communicating with the consumer base to fix these problems, the one update I've had during my play (patch 1.04) was suppose to fix some quest bugs but all it did for me was break some others.

    i really wish i didn't have to make this review as the story and idea of this game are amazing, but with so many problems and so little answers from the developers i feel i need to.

    This is the first game in over 2 years that i haven't got the platinum trophy for,it pains me more then most people would imagine to break that streak but unfortunately this game in its current state (patch 1.04) is just too broken to play.

    Kingdom Come looks beautifui and I can appreciate there being a game doing the whole "historically accurate medieval" thing. But it is very broken in its current state. I have played through the entire game's main questline and had multiple problems, especially in the second half of it. There are issues with the various systems included in the game.

    Firstly, the quests themselves. Many    Kingdom Come looks beautifui and I can appreciate there being a game doing the whole "historically accurate medieval" thing. But it is very broken in its current state. I have played through the entire game's main questline and had multiple problems, especially in the second half of it. There are issues with the various systems included in the game.

    Firstly, the quests themselves. Many are buggy and borderline broken. You're able to experience things like NPCs you're supposed to talk to having their "talk" option disabled, the game lingering in "combat mode" making it impossible for you to interact with people and continue the quest, or even having 10 enemies spawn directly around you in a corner while your weapon is unsheathed and you're supposed to be carrying someone's body out of the premises. These issues appear more and more as the game progresses. It's apparent it wasn't tested nearly enough for a final release.

    Then, there's the reputation system. You can kill a lone NPC located a mile away from the city and somehow the entire city becomes aware of it, decreasing your reputation with it. This is despite the fact there were no witnesses. This wouldn't be so bad if having a low reputation in a city was no big deal, but it makes questing in it borderline unplayable because NPCs will require you to pay them sums of gold just to speak to them. Imagine having to speak to multiple NPCs to complete a quest, and having them force you to pay them EVERY SINGLE TIME you speak to them. If you end the dialogue and need to talk to them again, you have to pay up once more. This can even happen with main quest givers. To make this worse, I've had a quest falsely lower my reputation after engaging in a fist fight (which was required by a main quest's objective) and there's no easy way of raising your reputation back up (other than going to jail, which takes away 10 in-game days and applies a debuff your stats).

    There's a loading time every single time you speak to an NPC. Every. Single. Time. Sometimes it takes as little as 2 seconds, but it's also taken me up to 25 seconds to load a single scene. And those long ones weren't complicated scenes either, just regular nameless peasants. This killed a great part of the immersion for me and discourages you from talking to NPCs altogether. Not to mention, Oblivion, which came out nearly 12 years ago, had no loading times for dialogue with NPCs.

    The combat feels clunky and unresponsive. Strong opponents take forever to take down if you play the intended way, or can be ridiculously easy to drop if you cheese them. It feels very janky and unrewarding at the same time. Archery is a joke, you just can't hit anything. Even with a crosshair mod, it's awful and arrows tend to go in whatever directions they feel like.

    The most enjoyment I got out of this game in the end was some of the main storyline (the scene with the priest is one of the most entertaining I've seen in a video game - it completely caught me off guard) but even that was soured by a disappointing ending. I also liked just looking around Bohemia, which is beautifully crafted for the most part. But just walking around in the open world gets boring very fast. You keep encountering the same 4-5 random events and they grow stale extremely quickly.

    Most of my time with the game was marked with frustration. It's clear it was rushed towards the end in order to meet the intended release date. Hopefully bugs and issues get fixed with time, but in its current state, Kingdom Come isn't worth it.    … Expand

    - Quest are interesting, you really care about the characters
    - I love the system of skills. It is mix of Skyrim and Witcher 2 - you improve what you are doing (e.g. lockpicking). Then you can choose perks which are powerful, but you can't choose all of them (some are better for communication with the nobles, other with peasants etc.)
    - Everything in this game is "different" and for the first try extraordinary difficult. After two tutorials and a few sword fights you realize it is easy and actually fun. The same with lockpicking or alchemy.
    - Archery seems to be difficult, after the bunny hunt you realize it is easy even without the crosshair
    - Saving is special - sometime problematic, but authors promised "save & quick" feature and more checkpoints.
    - Bugs? I encoutered a few minor. Nothing which broke the game.
    - Stealth system is so great! You have to try it - trying avoid (or silence) dogs, be quite in the house, have suitable clothes etc.

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

This really is an excellent game with some really excellent and fun combat, a really interesting story, some realistic status effects like hunger, tiredness, dirtiness etc which make the game feel really interesting and realistic. The games cities and NPCs really do feel realistic, with NPCs all feeling like they have their own tasks that they are doing irrespective of your involvement, with them going to the bar during the night, working during the day, which adds its own layers of strategy in how you tackle quests.

    However, all of these positives are also shadowed by some serious flaws, one of the most niggling is the games bugs and crashes. During my play through so far I have already crashed on numerous occasions. While this can be overlooked based on the quality of the game, I do feel like the games save system exacerbates this problem, as you cannot simply save whenever you like and this means that you may have to retread a large amount of terrain to get back to your last area which can be extremely frustrating. Archery is also immensely frustrating early game as the game really does make an effort to say your character has really never held a bow before. However, this was unbelievably frustrating during a mission where I had to go out hunting firing at rabbits, as you can imagine the hit boxes for the rabbits is minuscule and it really doesn't help that at the time I could handle a bow about as well as a drunk person driving.

    In the end I guess that the best word to describe kingdom come deliverance is exactly that: frustrating. This game, when it runs smoothly, allows you to notice some of its excellent flourishes in game design and it really does feel like this is an incredible game and better than any other game in its genre from a purely gameplay perspective. However, when it crashes, when you experience an annoying or even game breaking bug, its frustrating because it ruins an otherwise incredible game. With this said I still come away really enjoying this game and wanting to jump into it again. It really is for me still an excellent game with these flaws. If you are sitting on the fence, however, I would certainly say that this is a game that will test your tolerance, if you have played other games (such as Skyrim) and have had no problem overlooking the flaws in those games then I would wholeheartedly recommend this game as it really is right up your alley and it shows that you are willing to accept certain game breaking moments as a given in games of this nature. However, if you could not tolerate Skyrims faults or if you were just barely okay with that games bugs, then I would probably suggest giving this game a pass, as its bugs and crashes are more numerous and feel just more noticeable, meaning that this will likely feel like a bad game to you as a gamer.

    Overall for me, this game is still an excellent game, even if frustrating but I feel that with time (6 months or so) and numerous patches, this game will mature and be a finished vision which will be the game it really deserves to be. But because at the end of the day this review is also subjective I would give the game an 8, because it really does do a lot right when it is running smoothly, but its numerous flaws really weigh the game down and stop it from being a 9 or perfect 10 for me and this game does have all the potential of being that.    … Expand

The only thing what I am missing in this game is lack of Czech dubbing, but this is just insignificant drawback I can get over with.

    The game is very very demanding, but in 2018 and in the future, there is going to be a new hardware what will render this game at higher framerates than today's rigs.

    The combat if you get it can be very fun and is for sure challenging (it feels a bit clunky tho). The same counts for all systems in the game.
    Atmosphere and visuals/audios are breathtaking.
    Complex rpg systems and very "real" feeling. One of the best and for sure the most original RPG game i played in years. It has problems. Mainly frustration and clunkyness. I didn't encounter any bugs tbh. The OPW is pretty empty outside of the points of interessts ... which i guess is realistic and intended - obviously you wont find chests and secret dungeons in the forstest - but hurts exploration. Also did i already said its frustrating to repeat not only gameplay because you **** up (because you couldnt else but **** up ... i mean you are new to the game and its hard) but mainly story ... and walking ... and looting.
    I see the low rating as an expression of pure frustration by the press (and also i imagine that without the day one patch it was a bug mess). Don't be scared away from the 70ish grades. They aren't accurate.    … Expand

    This game is simply brilliant, the graphics stunning, the gameplay addictive and the story engaging. What a great game. Skyrim and Witcher 3 feel now so dated compared to this 2018 superb PC game.

    I haven't ancountered any bugs at all, and I remember well: Skyrim and especiall Witcher 3 were full of graphical glitches and gameplay bugs that only got patched out in the first few weeks.

Kingdom Come is surely for the more hardcore-minded RPG players, and frankly, not for the younger generation whose only RPG so far has been Skyrim, Witcher 3 or both.

Kingdom Come is surely for the more hardcore-minded RPG players, and frankly, not for the younger generation whose only RPG so far has been Skyrim, Witcher 3 or both. However, this game is everything I hoped it would be, and I couldn't be happier.

    Storytelling is on point, albeit the game starts with the same premise as just about every other 80's movie. It's not a bad thing by any means; more like a tried and true approach. The game just sucks you in from the start, and you hunger to explore all the nooks in the environment.

    The battle mechanics are a breath of fresh air, and realistic. For example, if you're wearing plain clothes and a looter hits you with a sword, you're done. But, don some proper armor, and you'll be fine. In every other game, your armor makes negligible difference, as the timing of blocks, parries and dodges makes for more exciting game play. Not in KC:D. If a guy comes at you with a knife and you're wearing undies, you are dead. I love it.

    There are somethings to get used to in the environment, though. For example, not everything is lootable as with many of the predecessors, and the things that are lootable don't really stick out. For example, you can find a barrel of arrows right next to a barrel of halberds, but only the arrows are lootable. Contrary to this intuition, you can pick up a bow just propped at a corner, but not an axe stuck to a tree trunk.

    A lot of people also complain about lock picking mechanics, which are not that intuitive. That is to say, they do not follow the same logic as in Skyrim for example, but it takes only a few tries to master the mechanic. With a little fine tuning on consoles, there should be no gripes there either.

    Overall, it's these little things that prevent me from giving a 10/10, while I ignore the current bugs in the game. And let's be honest, there are a LOT of bugs. If you are bothered by performance issues and expect to play a perfectly fine-tuned game, I'd recommend waiting a month or two for the devs to iron everything out.    … Expand

    Glitchy and unoptimized, but unique in its dedication to historical accuracy and you can feel the love and research that's been poured into this. Button mashing won't get you far. I'd much rather play this than some polished corporate AAA turd with the challenge of a coloring book for 5 year olds.

    THE PROS:
    If you have been playing games since the 80s or 90s you probably have found the last 5 or so years to be the worst ever when it comes to good large budget games (over 1 million). In the past 5 years for me I havent enjoyed many games as they have become very dumbed down/simplified and try far too hard to be movies. games used to do their own thing and feel very unique, and most games were ambitious maybe too much but that is 100x better than the group tested nonsense we get now. This game reminds me of how games used to be. its hard but the difficulty is natural as opposed to artificial difficulty, you will get gud as it progresses but you have to learn and adapt. You dont get better because your character eventually becomes a superhero upgraded to the max, its because the game has a natural learning curve. At first the combat seems to be **** but when you get better it really opens up and you realize its pretty damn good and probably the best sword for an open world rpg (not saying much cause witcher and elder scrolls had very meh combat). The story isnt some corny story written by sjws or another wannabe movie plotline, its realistic and does a good job at engaging you if you get into it. Your decisions have a lot of impact and you can tackle missions however you please. The graphics are impeccable but thats not saying much cause most games have amazing graphics now. The sound design is alright, the mixing and layering of the audio could be better but the voice acting is good and the sounds all sound accurate.

    THE CONS:
    BUGS BUGS BUGS
    it is pretty **** buggy, about as buggy as a betheseda game at launch. It isnt really any more buggy than those games were though and it isnt game ruining just annoying specially when the game is as enjoyable as this. I think it is less buggy than Witcher 3 at launch though for me, the ps4 version of that game was terrible in the beginning. The save system is also a bit **** but can be easily fixed with a unlimited save mod (google it) if it really bothers you, so its not a big issue. The npc models look really good but they can have some weird clipping issues on their clothing. The animations at times during dialogue can look quite stiff too, but it is not like that during cutscenes. While the game does look fantastic it does run really rough. I have a 8600k and a 1080 gtx and it can go below 60fps often, but it isnt a huge problem for me, it may be a big problem for others. Comparing its framerate to fallout 4 or skyrim remaster is unfair since this game has far more graphical effects and detail than those do, albeit the game should still run smoother.    … Expand

You know the bugs are overwhelming in a game when the moment you get slightly stuck on a quest the first thing that pops in your mind is, "Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?" and that can be a HUGE buzzkill when you are trying to enjoy the game and boy oh boy will you find yourself asking that A LOT. It reminded me of Skyrim at launch. Games like these are really best to play 2 years after launch as you not only will save some money but you the bugs are worked out. I hate people giving the excuse of a large RPG game like this is bound to have bugs. Yeah, no sh!t. That is considered but this game goes beyond average (as did Skyrim) and I point to The Witcher 3 as exhibit A . A game with a map just as big as this one with 1/10 of the amount of bugs. IMO the game feels rushed and although it is quite immersive it still feels a bit restrictive as there are a number of items that in most games of this caliber you would be able to take such as an ax leaning in a barn or some other tool on the table and you cannot. I also wish you could play in 3rd person but that is just a nitpick.

    Also noticed terrible lip sync in the cut scenes although I really did enjoy them and the acting. I also wish they varied the character face design a bit more and most people looked the same. All in all, it is a fun game and I could have easily rated it an 8 if only the bugs were not so bad. If you can get this game for half price of release price it may be worth it but I know if I paid full price for what is essentially a beta release I would have been highly upset.

    Can you give a bad rating to a game that is happening in an (almost) realistically recreated landscape that is your actual home IRL? So this review is a bit biased.
    Yes, there were bugs when they launched it, but that's fixable. Gaming world would be a much happier place if more development studios would work as hard as Warhorse Studios.

    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.
