If they had taken the parts that worked and made a more consistent, streamlined game that you could actually play, it would have been much better than this heaping mess we're stuck with.

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!!

    If you want to play a hard and annoying adventure game following the story of a moron in medieval times, this is the game for you. If you actually want to have fun role-playing your own way, don't touch this.    … Expand

    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......

    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

    Basic things, like the story is very bland, at about 15-20 hours into the game I was still waiting for plot to start, something to happen, anything interesting at least, but soon realized this must be it.
    Once you get to explore the map, it’s all about boring conversations with dull characters, dull questing (very dull side quests), trekking to a quest marker for several minutes while watching posters on your wall because the graphics and the environment are so harsh on PS4. Traveling by foot stamina consumption is a joke, on horse it’s bit faster, until you find an insurmountable tree trunk, or bushes.

    There is realism for sure, but all in the wrong places; seemingly adult Henry needs to be fed and slept far too often, hints for items appear only when you’re close enough (it is fun to lick every corner of every house you come across). Battle system may be somewhat realistic, but the feel of it is more like a bum fight. Perks are irrational, you can teach Henry to consume less food and such.. Right there realism goes though the window.
    Menu system is really non-user friendly. Inhibited saving is a joke also (no wonder a save mod was made within the first week of release for PC) And lockpicking on PS4 controller, really..

    Firewatch on PS store offers you better plot, price and gameplay, if you want a walking simulator.

    This negative review is not to scorn Warhorse Studios by any way, I only wanted to write an honest criticism of an overpriced product which in my opinion should have been 20 euro on PS store.
    I specifically avoid to compare this title to any preceding games, which may have set the standards too high. Kingdom Come pretty much made me wary to pre-order any full-priced first releases from unknown developers. If they believe in their game, give us PS4 users a demo first.    … Expand

    This is not a "Souls" game, where after many frustrating attempts you finally succeed and be rewarded in some way. No, it's just frustrating most of the time. Even the simplest basic stuff is so annoying difficult, like lock picking. After some hours trying to unlock even one "very easy" chest, I gave up. Games should be challenging, not unplayable.

    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.
