    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

    Just to counter the review from the person who hadn't played it but gave it a 0 anyway because they don't like first person melee combat...

    (Got my copy early) Having a fantastic time. Love the combat and love all the little things you need to think of. One of my favourite rpgs for sure.

    First of All. Kingdom Come Deliverance is not an Triple-A Game. Warhorse Studios done a Great Job with The possibilities they have and it is beautiful. It is something new and fresh.

Combat is deep, complex and rewarding, yet not as punishing as Dark Souls whose combat is solely on the knowing of the enemy. Hope we'll have a sequel and some expansions soon.… Expand

    If you have an interest in medieval history and enjoy Skyrim, I really think you owe it to yourself to try this game. As a fan of both, I'm absolutely in love with Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

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

    Bought the game one week after it was released. I had some quests bugged that I couldn't continue but after the first patch that fixed over 300 of them, I cannot complain.
    Love the game so much everytime I play it - actually on my 3rd playthrough -

This is a tremendous achievement that I really appreciates, and it made the technical issues negligible for me. (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

This authenticity, brought forth by innovative combat systems and well-constructed RPG mechanics, is what totally saves the game for me in spite of its many flaws. 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. More than anything else, this game makes me very excited for Warhorse's future projects. Warhorse, make more games. I will throw money at them.… Expand

    This is a great game! One of the best games I've played in a long time! People complaining about the difficulty of lock-picking and the various other mini-games missed the point of the game. It's not supposed to be easy. You don't become a master a lockpicker in 5 minutes in real life. The story was great. The game looks awesome on the PS4 Pro!

    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.

    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?    … Expand

    A gorgeous looking game with some of the most fun and inventive quests I have ever played. The game hosts some of the most solid first person sword fighting there is, enjoyable characters and story ,and a rich world to explore.

    However an abundance of bugs, pacing issues, disappointing ends to some quest lines and optimization problems keep this game from reaching its full potential.

    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.
