    Kingdom Come Deliverance is a game that immerses you almost perfectly in medieval times, placing you in control of Henry, a blacksmith's son from a small village called Skalice. Among its positive aspects, the well-polished immersion stands out: walking through the rustic streets of Rataje or Sázava while hearing your armor clank with every step makes you feel like a real knight. TheKingdom Come Deliverance is a game that immerses you almost perfectly in medieval times, placing you in control of Henry, a blacksmith's son from a small village called Skalice. Among its positive aspects, the well-polished immersion stands out: walking through the rustic streets of Rataje or Sázava while hearing your armor clank with every step makes you feel like a real knight. The combat is also noteworthy: despite some shortcomings, it's well executed, and each fight feels like a scene from a movie. The fights are tense from start to finish, and you feel a constant progression between confrontations. Additionally, the game's skill system is excellent and unconventional. To level up, you must use a specific skill or weapon, allowing you to learn and improve your level at the same pace as Henry. For instance, to level up your sword skill, you must spend several hours using the sword to attack Cumans or training on a battlefield.

    Moving on to the negative aspects, technical issues become apparent. There are numerous bugs, ranging from errors in loading textures to failures in missions, dialogues, or even combat. Although they are not serious bugs, they can take you out of the game's immersion. The game's pace is correct, but it might not be to everyone's liking, and some missions can feel stuck and endless, making you tired of playing for hours on the same task. Additionally, some missions can be overwhelming and confusing due to the number of objectives they present.

    In conclusion, Kingdom Come Deliverance is not a perfect game, nor is it for everyone. Still, being objective, it's an enjoyable game, even for those who aren't medieval fans. Is it worth it? It depends on whether you have the free time to invest more than 60 hours in a game and can handle feeling stuck at times.

    I play games since the 80s and this rpg is imho the best game ever produced.
    There is no magic, no effects that cause epeliptic strokes, nor other bs…just pure realism with an extreme lovely graphic.

    Kingdom come: deliverance has an accurate story and I learnt a lot. This product is a piece of art which should be advertised for its incredible historical value

Although the combat in the beginning of the game is hard and confusing, I must say that when you progress in the game you find yourself fighting like a true knight and not anymore like a civilian, meaning that you must be smart and well prepared for a fight, because even a small fight can kill you and when you win hard fights you feel great, like a reward for your effort (like a souls game), which is part of the natural progress of the game. The game design is great and feels like middle age, the main campaign of the game is inspired in true events that happen long ago in the old Holy Roman Empire. The characters are great, mostly because they are fun, unique and all main characters have a role in the game choices. The exploration of the game is great and have a lot of encounters the map feels great because it gives you freedom to explore almost all the map, after the beginning chapter. In last but not least, the game use the characters and the fantastic missions (main and secondary), to criticize the problems of the reality that people from the end of the XIV century, like the corruption and tiranny of the catholic church.

    Despite its shortcomings in performance on consoles, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an impeccable game with an intriguing storyline, an unmatched combat system, interesting characters that are often based on real life figures in history, and a beautiful environment that depicts early 15th century Bohemia.

    I've given the game 30 or so hours over the past 2 or 3 years and because of the vastness of it I'm struggling to give it any more.
    I'm dozens of hours away from the end and as a "completionist", like other open world RPGs I fear its just going to fall by the way.
    Sure it has its issues, its bug riddled, still and whilst realistic the combat would have been better served to be more. . . fun or. . . user-friendly.
    They've created a niche game within a niche type of game. Maybe its too realistic, maybe its too mundane, getting involved in trivialities and sorting out NPCs problems. That's the problem, the side quests are too good, the demand your time and attention, like The Witcher, you want to see everything, you want to do everything, but who has the time any more?

    Idealmente uno dei migliori giochi gdr in circolazione, ma con una realizzazione che lascia a desiderare.

I do not understand what is the point of this game, and its moment-to-moment gameplay. Mechanics seem added in the vein of realism, but practically they are just pure annoyances. From the sluggish movements of the character, to the illogical combat, lockpicking mechanics, absolutely BROKEN stealth (i swear that from the moment you crouch, you feel like the whole world tunes in to the sounds you make), and everything that involves you playing the game feels like its just made to be a nuisance. I understand what they where aiming for, but they could have chosen better mechanics. Slow and painful controls DO NOT constitute "realism"! Limiting the save system to a in-game item does not constitute A HARD GAME! You CANNOT translate "realism" with a 14 buttons controller. Not to mention that the PS4 version is ass. Slow, low framerate, low textures, low foliage, low distance, low everything. Feels like such a forced port, and I wouldn't mind "low everything" if the game was playing right. This game is not boring (well, it is a little), it's ANNOYING! And it's a shame, really. I loved Illusion Softworks. I actually rooted for the Czech developers, and I loved what the czech gaming companies do, and have done in the past, which adds even more to the disappointment of this game :(

    Edit: What can I say... as many games with soul behind them, it grew on me once I got more into the game. The story and the way it unfolds is great. Characters grow on you, and they are well written. What can I say? It gets good in the end, but you need so much patience and time with it. Edited the score from 3 to 8.

    Although it's an AA game, Kingdom Come Deliverance is a masterpiece, a love letter to medieval RPG lovers with historical elements. Of course, the game has some problems, like constant loads and a graphic that could be more polished. This, however, does not affect the game's brilliance.

    I rate this game with an 8 because of some lower rates but honestly I think it would deserve a 7 or 7'5. Yes, this game it's far from being perfect and it has many flaws (even with the patch it crushed 3 times). But let's talk about the game: At the beginning you are going to hate and love this game but especially at the beginning you are going to hate some moments. Don't hesitate to lookI rate this game with an 8 because of some lower rates but honestly I think it would deserve a 7 or 7'5. Yes, this game it's far from being perfect and it has many flaws (even with the patch it crushed 3 times). But let's talk about the game: At the beginning you are going to hate and love this game but especially at the beginning you are going to hate some moments. Don't hesitate to look for information on internet when you need to. Also, they don't tell you but you have to maintain the circle button pushed to run. You can be really addicted to this game and spend many hours. I recommend to play this game if you have a lot of free time because you can't always save the game when you want. There are also many and interesting sidequests but if you don't have much time go straight for the main missions (you'll have more than enough). There are like 2 big battles; when they ask you how many enemies have you seen always say the "many" option so you have as much help as possible. Trust me, you'll thank me. I could be talking and advising for hours. For instance, I got addicted to steal everywhere and everyone and unlocking everything. If you are in a village where your reputation is very low and you can't advance because the guy of the mission leaves when he sees you just leave everything to your own personal chest (especially if you own robbed stuff. The things that carries the horse as well), go to a guard, punch him unarmed and surrender, go to prison and when you are released your reputation will be higher. You may want to save the game before doing that just in case. And I know horses are expensive but look for the fastest horse and buy when you have the money.

    Best things:
    -Plot, voices, dialogues, medieval atmosphere, historical, the weather, clothes, armours, etc.

    Worst things:
    You can't save whenever you want, riding the horse it's tricky because of the bushes and small walls, also, when you run fast you see the characters like half appearing until eventually they all got to be like they should to be. It's really a pity because although graphics were not great they were good enough; but this things... Really a pity. Also you feel wasting your time when the game is loading or you have to wait and let the time pass or moving in the map, etc. Fighting is also tricky. I recommend you to try to fight your enemies one by one, so when you have the enemies' attention run from them (after a while only one will be pursuing you) and start shooting arrows to them (although you'll have to train because you can't aim easily. Also always choose a bow with a bit les of half of your current strength).

    I know I write many bad things but I still think that if you have time give it a try. It took me 105 hours having done all the sidequests (but not all the activities). I just wish that this game had fixed all this issues before being released because it would have been and awesome game. I think in some ways is too realistic.

    So I've been hyped for this game since the first trailers came out and was very sad that I didn't had the proper PC to run it. When it came out, the reviews were mediocre and so I forgot about it sadly. Now, roughly 3 years later i purchased it for my new console (remember, the overhauled ROYAL EDITION) and instantly fell in love with it. First, this game still has it's flaws. Combat and generally the controls feel clunky but manageable in the end. Also technically you will see loading textures and stuff. But nothing crucial. At first look it will overwhelm you. It will chew you up and spit you out. But it is intentional. Your progress will be very slow, but incredibly rewarding. This is the total opposite of "casual" RPGs like Skyrim. It will take time to fully embrace all the mechanics , but once it "clicks" you won't let your hands of it. The game's world is so beautifully crafted, even on console. Can't imagine how it would look on PC. I've never seen forests, hills and landscapes like this (ok, Red Dead Redemption 2 maybe, but remember this game was developed by a small indie team). To me, the world Design is it's biggest selling point. It may not be polished like a Triple A game but it is simply beautiful. Sound, music and dialogues are good, too. Quest design is awesome, so many ways to get your tasks done. It is really immersive, you really feel like this small peasant who slowly but steadily becomes better in his skillset. Overall you can feel the developers love for their game and the historical setting in so many ways. But it is definitely not for everyone and I understand why many people will play like 2 or 3 hours and quit.

    Its story is based on real historical data, as is the map. These are real locations that you can find south-east of Prague, check it out. I enjoyed the story a lot, the gameplay mechanics were a little jank but learning them and becoming good at the game even in the hardcore mode with all of the negative perks felt rewarding. It's the only game to have me interested enough to actually visit the locations it's based on so it deserves kudos just for that. Hope to see more from this lovely studio sometime.

    I don´t know why everyone is angry at this game. This game is one of the best medieval games of all time. If you can master sword fighting and archery you can become absolute beast, but game will kick you to your arse if you get too cocky. It really buggy but Vavra and his team fixed it. You can still encounter some minor bugs but they will not kick you out of your experience.

    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.
