    Yes it's kinda buggy, but all respect to Varva and his team for making one of the best settings in RPG history
    No magic and stuff, only hardcore medieval times
    I will give it 10/10, just because of people who will cry about bugs (I know there is lags but they will fix it, it's small team and independent studio) and SJW who will give it 0/10 because of "no POC in game"
    Strong 8/10

As a fan of both, I'm absolutely in love with Kingdom Come: Deliverance. I love the simple and accessible storyline, adore the unique combat system (including the challenging archery mode), and am routinely blown away by the lush forests, meadows, and towns you find along your journey. The characters you'll encounter are funny and interesting, the systems used for weapons and armor are deep and engrossing, and you're constantly learning new things about this huge, unique world. I've put something like 30 hours into the game and still haven't visited a few towns. There's a LOT of game here for your money.

    That said, there are definitely some issues here, but none of them are that huge in my opinion. First, this game is buggy... really buggy. You'll get stuck in trees, on fences, in rocks. Characters will disappear. Some quests won't function properly. And all of that sucks. But is it reason to avoid this game? No, not at all. Skyrim had its issues and it was also a must-play. This is a small team making a big game -- what that means is that you get a game that has some technical issues but constantly keeps on giving you something new to explore. In essence, this is a passion project, essentially the opposite of what's coming out of EA, Rockstar, and the big guys these days.

    Basically, I love this game and hope to see a lot more of it in the form of expansions and sequels in the future.    … Expand

(Though I may have had a different opinion had I lost more hours due to corrupt saved games. on ps4!)

    The fighting mechanism is new and refreshing. Bow is really hard to use and misses more than it hits, but it makes hitting (and hunting) much more fun. Sword fight has relatively new mechanism that makes the fight interesting for a long part of the game. I don't agree that skill is too important here, I think this game is just good at making you think you are more skilled when you are actually just better because your stamina stats is slowly increasing.    … Expand

Luckily, July 2018 at time of writing there has been over 600patches to quests and graphical issues. This level of fixes has hugely impacted the game vs the original released version.
    Basically, if you were holding off for fixes, as I did, the time is now. It's still a hard game, one that takes practice to improve in all areas. It's gritty, challenging and often frustrating when things go wrong, but it's very human for it. Henry, is far from perfect. Our errors add to the story that he's just some boy out for revenge rather than son of a god, or in any way a chosen one. From the start the speech is amazing, and often very funny. This is a real survival rpg with nothing left out... Highly recommend if that's your genre.
    Bug wise, few things like overhanging trees get walked through without moving and music has cut out during combat a few times, maybe a few frame rate drops during larger battles. But I'm playing on ps4 not the Pro, so I expected it for a game of this scale. Go buy now on discount, you won't be disappointed    … Expand

While Skyrim focused on exploration, and the Witcher focused on story, this game successfully focuses on role-playing and carves out its niche in the RPG world. The bugs: events failing to queue, character bugs, and the occasional sound bug mar the experience but not completely. The story, dialogues, and basic interactions need to be streamlined though. Cutscenes are yawn-inducing and by the end, I didn't care for Henry's story as much as I did for his armor-build. The game thrives on pushing the envelope and as this is Warhorse's very first game, I am more than willing to look past the flaws.

You can see it's a passion project when playing the game, it's got the TLC from the developers that some studios forgo. I must address the lock-picking too, while it does start off on the hard-side it does become increasingly easier the more you train that skill. I'm now opening Very Hard locks with ease on the PS4. All in all I very much enjoyed this title and I'm itching for the Third Act (next part of the story).… Expand

    May i add that for a small studio warhorse have done an amazing job with adding content they have plenty of free and paid dlc in the wings and i know that i will gladly purchase all of it because the money will help them expand and make the best games possible.

    In the beginning, it was kind of buggy. Now, most of the issues are gone. I had a lot of pleasure playing this game. Combat mechanics are great. Quests are interesting. I really appreciate that after almost 6 months the game is still supported, fixed and there are great DLC coming out soon.

    I had just written a very positive review, but after finishing the game I'm inclined to change it quite drastically. Despite having loved the combat and the immersiveness of the game (above all, both extremely innovative and rewarding), the graphics, the story, I just feel like this game had a huge potential but some major wrong decisions have turned it into something deeply flawed.

    1)    I had just written a very positive review, but after finishing the game I'm inclined to change it quite drastically. Despite having loved the combat and the immersiveness of the game (above all, both extremely innovative and rewarding), the graphics, the story, I just feel like this game had a huge potential but some major wrong decisions have turned it into something deeply flawed.

    1) the most obvious one being the bugs. You immediately start to mistrust a developer when they release a game full of bugs. luckily, I started playing in Sept 2018 so it was barely a problem anymore with the patches, but for earlier players it might have been quite tiresome

    2) the ending!! what a cliffhanger! probably the greatest I've ever came across in gaming. Totally disappointing, and looking at the DLC roadmap it doesn't look like they're actually gonna release the rest of the main story

    3) when you make a game with an excellent combat system, when you must have put so much effort into it, and then only a small fraction is combat and again, no "combat mode", no pvp arena, no DLC in sight that will give you a reliable dose of combat.

    4) I was about the buy the first DLC (From the Ashes), but then it was all people on Steam complaining that the spent 10 dollars for just an extra mission. Again, more mistrust in these developers.

    Bottom line: if you wanna make a game that costs as much as the top-tier games, it's gotta be top tier. i don't care if your studio is independent or not. And Kingdom Come, despite having huge potential, has some truly unforgivable flaws, half seeming to come from plain bad decisions, the other half from rushing things, greed and lazyness. I can see no replay value, there is no PVP or a "combat mode" to keep playing, and the DLCs seem to be robbery and failling to fill the current gaps. What a waste of potential, can't say this enough.    … Expand

If a game forces you to hate your character or makes you wonder why the hell your character is acting like he does then it's not an RPG. It's an adventure game with a leveling system and items. For example: You are forced to act like a bootlicker trying to bring the sword back to the noble. I don't give a rat's bottom about the noble's sword. You are then forced to join the garrison of this noble to be trained (I don't want to join the garrison). You are taunted by another noble for being useless during training and you are forced to call that noble "spoon-fed" (what the hell game, you are choosing what I say now?) and then you are forced to enter a hard to win competition with him which due to the lack of a save system means that if you want at least to feel a bit good about yourself getting into such a gigantic mess by winning the competition, you'll have to load from the start of the day or the start of the bow training if you waste an expensive instant save item. With the exception of the taunting which is out of the control of my character, everything else are things that I do not want my character to do, and that I hate my character for doing. This, is, an adventure, game.

    **** The battle system: An unpredictable mess. I like the "six positions" but man did they overcomplicate things. Faints, blocks, dodges... Too much work. But it's ok, if the rest of the game wasn't horrible I would probably feel like investing the time to learn the battle system. I've seen worse.

    **** The save system: Well it doesn't really exist, does it??? Make one mistake and basically redo the last day. It's a single player game, give us an option to play in easy mode or whatever where us normal noobs can save whenever we want. Accidents happen more often in games than in real life, which is why we need a save system. Also, half the fun in computer RPG games is enacting "what if" scenarios without having to live with the consequences. How many times how you acted like a moron in Skyrim or in Fallout just to see what would happen? Yeah... Forget that here!!

    Pros
    -Historical setting is great and this game is really accurate. From the culture, to the way war is conducted, to the architecture everything is spot on. I cannot find much inaccruate about this game.
    -The historical accuracy and the the overall "feel" of the game makes it immersive
    -The combat is disfficult but fun. Its intense difficulty only helps immerse you in the world. You are not a dragon-born master killer. You are a person with a sword and the combat is tense and difficult.
    -The setting is great
    -The story is fantastic. It keeps you engaged
    -The game does not hold your hand, you have to think
    -There are many ways to approach everything. Lots of room for creativity
    -The world really feels alive and it actually is. Missions and world events move along with or without you

    Cons
    -Frame rate dips low in battles
    -Bugs everywhere
    -Texture pop in constantly
    -Lip syncing is terrible at times
    -Have experienced 1 hard crash in 35+ hours

    A great moment: I am investiagting a raid with the local lord's captain. I am told to investiage to but to stray too far. My investiagtion leads me miles away to a differant town. As I was making my way there just following quest markers I think "should I go tell the captain?" but then think "no- the game is telling me to do this so I'm on the right trail". Well once I complete the investigation and make my way back to the captain he is mad at me. He yells at me for not reporting my position or calling for back up. If I would have informed him I would have been sent to do the mission with troops and everything would have changed. That attention to detail is certainly something to respect.    … Expand

There are simply no invisible walls, you can enter every house, building, door you see, and there are no loadings between in and out doors, city walls, etc. Navigation is 100% seamless, which is perfect for fans of exploration like me.

    I also love the realism. You have to eat, sleep, take care of your injuries, you don't have points of interest every 5 meters, markers or hud elements pointing everything around you. You just have to explore, learn, use your head, etc. No hand holding.

    Of course the game has its problems. Visual glitches, lack of optimization (at least on consoles), the lockpicking minigame can be a bit frustrating with a controller, you can't interact with some elements of the world, etc. But then again, this is an ambitious game made by a small team.

    Kingdom Come is a mess full of bugs, soulless characters, boring story, an unplayable combat system, so much realism that you have to wait ages just for the dialogues and so much more.
    So when I find out that a game like this is rated 9!!!! just because it was highly anticipated makes me wonder where the gaming community is headed......

    The missing of an unlocked framerate to get at least 60 fps at 1440p on a PS5 massively degrades this game to be even more worse and completely skips the potential. I can’t recommend this game for the current console generation PS5/SeriesX because of the technical limitations.

    I have by no means completed or finished the game, I have about 20 hours play time but I have enjoyed all of those hours.

    First of all the graphics, sure there are a few textures that take a few seconds to load in but to say the graphics don't compare to Skyrim is ridiculous. Stand in any of the forest sections within the game and instantly you will see the graphics here are better. Couple that with the sounds e.g. birds singing you actually could be stood there yourself.

    Bugs, I can honestly say that during my play time I have not experienced any bugs or had any crashes. This may be luck on my part when compared to other people I wouldn't know for certain.

    Combat system, locking picking, sure these are frustrating at first. That's the key point "at first" give it time and practice and it actually starts to make sense. At the start I couldn't pick any locks, now I can easily pick "easy" locks. Granted that doesn't sound like a big achievement but given I was struggling at the start it now feels like a success. The same goes for combat, sure it takes some getting used and people are probably used to a hack n slash system but once you get the hang of it i don't think there is a problem. That said taking on more than one person at once is certainly a challenge and i haven't survived many encounters when this happens.

    The game mechanic seems to be the more you do something the better you get, both in real life at the game but Henry does in game also. Yes its frustrating but stick with it and you will see.

    Saving, again I don't see this as a big problem. You can save via the drink system or by going to sleep on any bed. Its hardly rocket science. I think the thing that is frustrating people more is that you can save before doing a task as easily as other games. If you make a mistake it has consequences.

    Will you like this game?

    I think that depends on you. If you are the sort of person that role plays games like Skyrim and Fallout taking the time to stop for rest, eating and drinking then this game should be right up your street. If you play those games blasting through and not bothering to immerse yourself with things like eating and drinking then I think this isn't a game for you.

    I would consider myself the latter but I have approached this with an open mind and I am loving the game and playing in a way I haven't done before.

    That said the game isn't perfect but given the size of the team and the resources available what they have done is amazing.

    Hopefully it will be a success and the team continues to support it. At the very least I hope it gives other developers a kick up the backside and encourages them to put more effort into their open world games.    … Expand

The art-style across UI, menus, and the story-telling pieces are beautiful. Also, the combat does feel very clunky at first, but once you master your skills, the combat mechanics are a fresh take on fighting and it becomes very enjoyable. Last, but certainly not least, the story is remarkable. I will always remember Henry's story. I feel like he and I are one.

    Personally, I have experienced a few bugs. Villagers walking in place, camera unfocused on the speakers, and Henry getting stuck on staircases are just a few examples. I have not experienced save corruption or crashes, after playing 8 hours in.

    So...once the developers release the patch 2 weeks from now (per Reddit developer), this game should be a lot more polished. I recommend those that are skeptical about this game, wait until then to purchase. It's one hell of a game.    … Expand

    this game is amazing, there is depth and intricacies, youll be doing quests and theres countless ways to proceed and outcomes to find, some which are build on a timer to add urgency when youre dealing with things like bandits raiding villages or witnesses you need to find who are also being pursued by bad people who want them dead. sometimes a new outcome takes future sight, as in you wontthis game is amazing, there is depth and intricacies, youll be doing quests and theres countless ways to proceed and outcomes to find, some which are build on a timer to add urgency when youre dealing with things like bandits raiding villages or witnesses you need to find who are also being pursued by bad people who want them dead. sometimes a new outcome takes future sight, as in you wont know about it until youve already done the quest so youll need to reload with the new information or remember it for your next playthrough etc.

    the combat is a bit blocky, especially when dealing with multiple enemies. the game works on a lock on system, when you have an enemy in front of you youll lock on automatically and its difficult to change targets. but it is enjoyable once you get the hang of it and it requires a steady patient hand like most things in this game.

    things like alchemy, lockpicking, and even pick pocketing are fleshed out minigames that require not only in game skill levels to make things easier but an understanding of how it works from the player, ie the first time you do anything in this game youll feel that its broken, but the more you practice the more you see that its very well done.

    there are a few bugs in the game atm, but thats to be expected of a new release. the devs are working full time making patches for the various bugs and 2 such patches have already been released making the game soo much more enjoyable and less aggravating, the devs also listen to player feedback and have been implementing new features like a potion that resets your skill points.

    storywise this game is very good, you play as a blacksmiths son, and due to unforeseen circumstances you have to travel the country in search of a sword your father made, all the while participating in a heavy civil war set around nobility pushing back against a lazy ruler and staging a coupe where they put his brother in charge. youll find yourself right in the middle of the action since your motives seem intertwined with this conflict

    there are countless playstyles you can choose from, you could play a plate armored knight, or a lightly geared assassin, you can hunt game, and even learn to read. you can spend your nights building your alcohol resistance and gambling at the tavern with dice, or you can collect herbs and recipes and brew potions, when dealing with encounters you can play it the noble hero way where you help everyone and ask for no reward, or you can be a highwayman who demands gold from everyone. you can murder pretty much everyone if thats your fancy although a few npcs are immortal to prevent disrupting the story.

    you can even build up the economy, when you sell gear to a trader the next time you see them theyll have gained a higher gold surplus by trading your items away, so then you can sell even more to them at a time. you can even participate in archery tournaments

    and theres an in depth survival mechanism, you can starve, pass out from exhaustion, or even bleed to death. you need to eat and sleep, and bandage your wounds. you can get sick from food poisoning or actual poison. etc.

    and this is kind of a niche point but the lead developer is an open anti PC anti SJW who supports gamergate. its good to see someone who is on the players side instead of cow towing to the regressive liberals who dont even play games but demand change in the name of combating "toxic masculinity" lol.    … Expand

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

Lock-picking absolutely sucks with a controller, it's like they didn't even test it out on a controller. The unarmed combat just feels very weird. There is lots of lag, it runs at like 15 fps. Also sometimes you are not really giving a choice, like the character gets very angry and challenges a guy which is way better than him, while I know that's a bad idea but I can't choose. I would recommend waiting, and buy only once most of the issues are fixed. However, when they are fixed, I think this has the potential to be my favourite game of all time.

    I’m rating this game an 8/10 but rounding up from barely scratching a 7.5/10. Even though the concept of the game is very good, the execution falls short many times. I bought this game to scratch a very specific itch in the abscence of a current gen Elder Scrolls game, and it does it but falls short at times.

Even though the concept of the game is very good, the execution falls short many times. I bought this game to scratch a very specific itch in the abscence of a current gen Elder Scrolls game, and it does it but falls short at times.

    Graphics are beautiful, but textures pop in when galloping with a horse. Faces and animations are decent, but sometimes lip sync issues occur. The animations used for all character models are the same, after a while you notice that every movement Henry uses is the same than every single character you interact with.

    Combat is by far the strongest asset of this game, its fun, challenging and very well polished in terms of animations and balance. The way armors work is fun too, you need to purchase several layers of armor, which make the looting system compensate for the lack of magic, even though some of the textures of the layers of armors you can get can sometimes glitch and show through an upper layer of armor.

    The music isn't Jeremy Soule quality, but it is decent enough to provide some level of immersion. Some quests have glitches in animations which causes character models to be in awkward positions and this causes henry to talk to their necks or distorted models.

    The way you progress in this game is very realistic and addictive, which is what I think other people don´t get. You are good for nothing at the beginning of the game, every skill you learn is learned from scratch, so archery, swordfighting, lockpicking, sneaking, etc. will be very challenging at the beginning of the game, and will become easier the more you attempt to use these skills.

    The story up to the point I have played it (20hrs give and take) is fun and hooks you, you understand your character motivations and get to know his personality and the way he thinks and acts. Henry has some funny comments and moments which can make you giggle or even laugh.

    I have to say though, the save system in this game is extremely frustrating. The game only saves when you complete a quest, are issued a quest or when you sleep. Aside from that, you need to save by using a specific item the game provides which is limited and needs to be purchased. It is very immersive and fun that the game tries to make you play in a day to day manner by saving when you sleep, but it can be frustrating that you lose hours of gameplay at a time because the game autosaved just before you begin your travels for the day.

    Conversations and dialogue can at times be slow and lack flow, some of the options you have for speech clearly need another option used first for it to make sense. The use of strength, speech and nobility for different dialogue options is entertaining since it shows that the way you are building your character really does matter.

    It is important to note that some quests are extremely glitched, and need to be played over again to be able to complete them. It also makes little sense that being a blacksmiths son, the only skill that you cannot learn is smithing.

    The change of pace in the gameplay is fun, since you need to take care of many things within cities and villages by investigating, talking, drinking and managing certain responsibilities and then you go and fight for another period of time, which makes the game more addictive.

    Cities and villages feel realistic, with a proper amount of people, merchants and quests and activities. The map isn´t by any means huge, but it has a proper size and details to keep you engaged after 20 or so hours. Being close to 30 hours and still having much to explore and discover is a good sign. The places you visit in this game can be absolutely gorgeous. Riding your horse and exploring can be an incredible experience in this game, it is one of its strengths for sure.

    Cutscenes and dialogues can be fun and entertaining, but they sometimes get in the way of the game. Sometimes quests have too many of these in between, which is a nice attempt of making a story driven first person RPG, but sometimes it is too exaggerated.

    In conclusion, this game has a lot of strengths and assets which makes it very fun to play and addictive if you are an RPG fan like myself. But being honest, it seems that for every strength this game has it also presents a flaw. It gives me the impression that it should have been polished and tested a bit more before release. Buy this game if you are a hardcore RPG fun, you will sure enjoy it, especially if you like Elder Scrolls and Fallout like games. But if you are not that into RPGs and your only reference is The Witcher 3, then this game will disappoint you.    … Expand

    You just should try yourself and then you'll understand how great this is it.

    I keep seeing comments about "SJWs." People are not upset that there are no POCs in a game set in early 1400s Bohemia. Rather some people have issue with the dev's attachment to Gamergate. Just saying. People misrepresent other people's issues and it is frustrating. That said, I did buy the game.

    I am going to provisionally give this game an 8. Though if some of the optimization issues are not fixed let's just say I wouldn't replay it. There is tons to like. The graphics are sometimes amazing, sometimes not. Why is the village on the loading screen under rendered? The PS4 pro is a far cry from some the PC versions seen on youtube, but it is still pretty and there is lots of detail. I love the general gameplay and how realistic it is. It is hard and very story driven. Don't buy this and think you are going to Skyrim it up. It is "open-world," but there is a five plus hour prologue where you pretty much have to stick to the story—but the story is good, and it is refreshing to have an everyman character like Henry. I really dig his story.

    Bugs, there are a lot. Sometimes I've had to reload because my character couldn't hit someone, or anything. One time all the voiceovers stopped and another time my map cursor disappeared. Another time I randomly got shot up into the air and died—I lost an hours gameplay. None of these issues should be a problem. Skyrim was so broken when it came out. What makes them an issue is the lack of quick saves. I like the spirit of the save system, what they are trying to go for. But when all of the sudden you can't contact NPCs in fights and you have to run back to the other side of the map to save in order to reboot the game, that's an issue. Every time a glitch happens I usually loose a significant amount of progress. This is frustrating—but alas I am still playing. Also, make the lock game easier. I love being a thief but I've just given up.

    :)

    These issues aside, and there is no reason to assume the dev won't fix them. This is an impressive game.    … Expand

    I'm playing Kingdom Come on the Xbox One X the graphics are amazing, in my first 10 hours of play I only had the game crash once. It is easy to get angry at this game because it is quite realistic and swordplay is challenging for the first 4-5 hours, none the less fun game that is so unique unlike any other game I've played before. Great work Warhorse studios

    Ok there are some buggy parts, but you all must consider that Warhorse studio is not big company, they started this game from kick-starter web. And the result is breathtaking. After some future patches, this game will show you that it deserve nothing but positive reviews.

I am sure they will be fixed. I don't notice framerate drops but then again I've never really focused on fps.… Expand

    I want to love this game. I've been looking forward to it for some time, and was so excited to play it.
    But after finishing the prologue i got stuck with the lock picking at the executioners house, which can easily be said to be awful. The PS4 version makes it impossible to turn the lock with the sticks and simply breaks the pin, even though i have the marker golden the whole time.

    I gave up and started the main story which ended up with me having to put my controller down after a couple of hours being frustrated beyond measure. The lock on, the FPS, the combat is a nightmare, im suddenly dying and unable to block or attack for seconds!. The game is, in my opinion, not playable on the PS4, even though i am dying to play it.
    i value gameplay so high, and was praying for this system to work, but it didn't...
    still i end up coming back to this game over and over again, which ends up with me putting down the controller in a mix between rage and frustration.    … Expand

The tedious chores you have to do and when you have to steal something or sneak the guard monk knows i had done it even though no one saw me, day after day of doing the same thing and the smallest mistake get you looked up is mental. This quest made me put down the game for good as i'm not going to waste any more of my time on it. If you want to play a game where you get to live out a miserable live then this is the one for you and the terrible save system doesn't help the matter. Luckily I picked up the witcher 3 a far better game in all aspects… Expand

    Really when I show some preview I was disappointed. Until I tried it. I found no serious performance problems for a game of this scope ( have you played arma? ). No serious bugs. The saving feauture is very good cause you can also save by sleeping (dah!).

    The main problem lies with a bunch of immature reviewers lately that are demanding like babies ( maybe they are youngsters? ) that give 0 scores to games not of it's quality but of it's maturity, realism and challenge, or of problems that lie in gaming as a whole ( look at new expansion for Civilization Vi reviews! ), their are arguments are close too: This game is not real life and I am not super hero! 0 Score!

    I am totally astounded that warhorse studios are charging AAA price for this game, its FAR from finished.
    Currently i cannot progress past the very first quest of the game because of a bug that wont allow me to talk to a npc. I am now stuck in the starting area, a tiny little town and cannot progress any further. This is what i call a game breaking bug.
    Have a look on the official kingdom come website forum before you buy to get a understanding at how buggy this release was.
    Huge potential, wasted sadly.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In an opening summary I would say that this game is a unique and tantalizing step forward in the way it arguably blends RPG and simulation. It possesses features that allow you to play entirely based on your mood - having a relaxing stroll/ride through the countryside, creeping around looking for valuable trinkets to loot which gives a satisfying feeling of deviousness and selfish gain, and taking someone up on a duel and going at them stabbing and slashing them into surrender and once more profiteering from the ransom you demanded of them in order to let them go. All of these factors are really enjoyable, and after playing about eight more hours today I've well and truly built a greater appetite to see what else the game can bring - and it definitely feels like there's a heck of a lot more.

    When I initially played what we might call the prologue with Henry's village being attacked and his parents killed and the eventual return to bury them, I felt like for those first three hours I hadn't really played the game in its full fledged form. Of course many hours later I now know this to be the case, however the prologue, intending to be a tutorial of sorts to help bed you in, didn't bed me in well at all. Yes you learn swordfighting basics, your need for sustenance etc..., but it felt like I was told the first ten percent and then it was left up to me to find out (sometimes by feeling around blindly or by plain luck) the rest of the many meticulous details this game offers. This was cumbersome and frustrating, and I have to admit that this was the case for some time and I ended up falling back on watching someone else's walkthrough on two or three occasions to find out how to progress the game. The most frustrating instance of this was trying to get out of Talmberg. My instinct told me to just pile off the drawbridge and down the hill, but I didn't get the sense that the game was influencing me that way, and I thought that being more methodical and patient would reap greater benefits, which it would have if the game hadn't bugged and the shady trader never appeared, no matter what I did, no matter what time of day I came. In the end I took what I could weapons wise (though of course I never got a lockpick from the trader and apart from the miller's side quest I haven't seen a lockpick since, none of the traders appear to have them either, so if that's another bug that might be that part of the game well and truly messed up). In the end, after about 30-60 minutes of searching like a plum for the invisible trader and seeing no other solutions (I now know there are about four), I jumped for it and ran like mad from the pursuing guard, successfully escaping.

    Since I've been able to get out and explore the wider world there has been a plethora of thrills and spills, delights and disappointments. The experience as a whole has been that of a slow bedding in process, and in some cases many failures were experienced before success eventually came. I'm beginning to think that a second playthrough may be as enjoyable or perhaps even better given I'll probably have enough mastery of the game to get a grasp on what path I want to take from the beginning. Right now I have a feeling of being in control sometimes, but then something happens that wrests that control away from me.

    In terms of how the game runs it's very beautiful graphically, however there has been the aforementioned Talmberg bug and the time where all the corpses in Skallitz were briefly stood rigidly upright instead of being sprawled across the ground. The voice acting is ok but not great, but some of the cutscenes, particularly ones of the Cuman army, have really amazed me.

    All in all, the sentence I would use to describe Kingdom Come Deliverance is this: it's a meticulous, sprawling, beautiful yet blemished game which will need to be rescued from these blemishes by the numerous patches which will surely materialize in the future.    … Expand

    It’s an admirably ambitious and atmospheric game that sometimes sparkles like a diamond, but the PS4 version I played was so ridiculously underdeveloped I couldn’t believe someone had the nerve to publish it in such a disgraceful state. [04/2018, p.45]

    Despite the volley of issues that'll be unique to your experience, committing to the universe that Warhorse has built in Kingdom Come: Deliverance still carries an ultimately rewarding feeling. I wonder how much more I'd enjoy it if it were a little smoother (fast travel is not fast), but the atmosphere doesn't shy away from the brutality of the era, how rugged life was centuries ago as well as the omnipresence of God in their everyday lives, from conversation to action.

    A much more realistic take on the Elder Scrolls formula which will delight some fans of that series while frustrating others.
