    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 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!

    Obra maestra sin precedentes.
    Un juego unico e impresionante, donde su mundo envuelve una historia de venganza impresionante.
    Graficamente luce de escandalo, y su jugabilidad es unia, simulador total de una vida en 1403.
    Los que buscan accion no es su juego. Esto es vivir como tal en el sacro imperio romano.
    Una autentica maravilla, cada detalle es enfermizo. De 10.

    KCD is trying to create brand new mechanics for the RPG and open world fans here.

    Many rpg's nowadays are very easy , combat is hack&slash, you have detailed maps and quest markers so questing is piece of cake. Well if you're happy and comfortable with these games KCD is not your game. Many negative reviews here are said to be game breaking. No, they are the developers' choices.

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

    I have been following this game for a few years. From the setting, to the survival mechanics, RPG elements, the world design, etc. everything about Kingdom Come deliverance seems good to me.

    The game came out and i finally played it for a few hours. Simply amazing so far. The story and characters are much better than i expected and the world is simply beautiful. I could go further and say that's the most impressive open world i have ever experienced. 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. Everyone expecting a flawless game should have their feet on the ground. Devs did a fantastic work, and of course will be support it for many, many years.

    Overall, it's a fantastic game. 9.5/10

    This game is phenomenal! I didn't felt this kind of immersion in a game world since the first time I set my virtual foods into Hyrule field in Zelda ocarina of Time or in elwynn forest in World of Warcraft. So glad a game like this has been made in this era of lootbox games and mictotransactions. This game demands your patience but it also learn you to have that again. This is a gem!

    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"

    There is no magic, no effects that cause epeliptic strokes, nor other bs…just pure realism with an extreme lovely graphic.

    Juego épico menospreciado por la prensa amarillista de los videojuegos, llena de toxicidad e intereses económicos.

    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, libertad total y absoluta para ir donde 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.

    One of the most realistic role playing games I've ever played.
    I found the characters of this medieval story quite interesting.
    Also, never has character progression been so rewarding : Henry can't align two words, mount or handle any kind of weapon ... and it's up to you to make it learn to speak, read, fight, mount ... I hope there will be a sequel. I've not encountered any bugs

    I loved the game from the beginning to end. I really enjoyed most of the things that the game tried to do but then again, I started playing it at version 1.71 .

    I would still love to have motion(gyro) option for the bow tho. It's no excuse for games in this day and age not to have motion controls for things like archery. I understand why many do not like them but I've always used them

I understand why many do not like them but I've always used them on my Nintendo games/consoles and it feels like trying to split wood blindfolded. Just add an option for the likes of us that do like using gyroscope to make fine aiming adjustments while running and/or on moving targets.

    And sure, there can be many more adjustments made to make the game a lot better but what the developers did here is a jewel. You can just tell how this kind of games are completely lacking for some years now. I still play Mount and Blade to fill this medieval fighting need :) and there are so many of us that crave for a proper medieval RPG.

    KINGDOM COME: DELIVERANCE it the one that fills a lot of this need but it could be a lot better.

Сразу говорю для аркадных геймеров, эта игра не для вас. Я бы не назвал игру слишком сложной, но в ней вы скорее будите 30 часов бегать, искать и общатся с NPC, чем например учавствовать в экшн сценах или сражаться на мечах, чего к слову мне крайне не хватало. Оптимизации в игре нет, так что люди с видеокартами ниже 1060 скорее всего будут играть на средних в 30 фпс или вообще на минимаьных настройках. Очень хотелось отметить малый бюджет игры и в следствии ее не даработки, баги анцимца и другие прелести различных проектов и альфа и бета тестирования, ну или к примеру PUBG. P.S. даже PUBG будет более оптимизирован, чем Kingdome come.

A game that should be rewarded only for the fact that it's different and daring, showing to big publishers that there is a market for complex games. Although the low budget is certainly noticeable in certain areas, like animations in dialogues, and it has technical problems, those are fixable with future patches, and should not hinder the final reception of a game solid in its mechanics.

    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.

    I love this game so much. I was little worried about performance on base PS4, but everything is OK. Lock-picking is little hard on controller, but I do not need it. I´d rather stun sleeping people and than steal their keys from chests and doors. It´s up to you how you want to play this masterpiece.

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.

    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.

The voice acting is incredible, the graphics are superb, and the combat is truly frustrating... but in the best way possible. You will get cut down by knights and bandits and it will fuel your desire to get better every time you pop this game in, taking Henry from a dumb ass blacksmith's son, to a sword-wielding killing machine. The beauty of this game is the normalcy of the missions. Don't expect to have Shadow of Mordor level battles every mission, the slow-pacing, dialogue-heavy, story-rich world in which KCD resides in is what truly makes this a unique game. You won't care that you're not having sword fights every moment of the game because it is an experience just to live in the world of KCD. Some of my favorite parts of the game are the most mundane aspects of it. I even love reading the codex to brush up on my history lessons just to enrich my experience. Knowing the state of toilets in the 15th century, or how most hydration came from alcoholic beverages, or how windows were kept small to trap in heat, just furthers my enjoyment of this game and speaks to how unique of an experience KCD is.

    Positives: One of best/most interesting fight system ever (ripostes are best thing i have ever experienced in any swordfight) - Witcher fight is very lame in comparation. Quests are interesting, funny and it's possible to solve these in more ways. Nature is beautiful and symphonic and medieval soundtrack is great. Towns are created according real historic plans

Towns are created according real historic plans from historic Czech republic also main historic background is according history.

    Yea, its harder, but not so much. Average player can do it (frustrated are noobs :)). Bow is very hard to handle, but its possible to learn it - but i recommend it for hunting. Story is good and conversations are great. I havent found saving system bad, its good that you cant load and load again to cheat.

    Negatives: I have bought game after a year since release so I have experienced only 2 minor bugs, which had no influence on game. In middle game, i was very rich and there weren't better goods to buy. Monastery was frustrating but in was on purpose to meet alcoholic priests in basement.

    So i would give 8-9/10 but many people rated this game bad because bugs werent fixed at that time, so i rate it 10/10.

KCD makes a lot of its modest possibilities: The independent combat system is great fun (the only criticism here would be the combos, which were almost impossible to implement at least for me), the open, beautiful game world is atmospheric and immersive due to its "realistic" design (completely without volcanoes and other crap, there is still enough to discover), the character system with its perks is super coherent (learning by doing), the quest are well written with hardly any repetitions and several ways to solve and and and and ... What for me as for many others were also very well received: in KCD you are not the designated hero with overwhelming abilities, but you literally have to fight your way out of the gutter and, thanks to the skill system, naturally develop your skills according to your own playing style. If you expect a lot of action, you will be disappointed, KCD is more for "slow gamers" and develops its full fascination over time.
    The start might be a little hard and even contains some light "survival" elements which makes it even more rewarding fighing (or sneaking) you way through it.

    Sure, the technology doesn't blow anyones mind on a normal PS4, which has bothered me, especially with the somewhat stiff NPC movements and the frequent pop-ups of textures, buildings etc. Luckily, many other early issues such as the annoying lock picking with the controller have already been patched.

    With the story you could go a step further here and there, but the variety of the quest design, the many side quest and greats dlcs, the game world etc. are absolutely covering all the technical issues . The anticipation for part 2 could hardly be bigger. This is a real immersive rpg you can spend many hours with. Its not a perfect game but it makes many things different in a positive way than other so called rpgs like Witcher 3 (dont get me wrong, it loved this games as well) which all in all makes KCD a wonderful experience.

    This is probably one of the best rpg that i have ever play! 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.

    This game has a unique way of creating immersion- which it does by encouraging you to make decisions that would make sense in real life and not just because it is a video game. 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.

The cutscenes are beautifully directed, the gameplay mechanics are insanely creative (you even have to learn how to read before you can use books), and it’s incredibly historically accurate. It’s nice to just walk around and explore the world the development team has created. Combat is intense and your character isn’t actually bad at wielding a sword until you get good at it, which explains why a lot of people are complaining about the controls. They just don’t get it.

    It’s glitchy and buggy, yes, but this is literally an indie game let’s not forget. Triple A budget titles are buggy on launch too. Their reach might have been further than their grasp, but at least they had the courage and tenacity to reach. If you want another game where you run in a straight line chopping enemies in half keep looking, but if you’re bored of the same old **** and want an immersive, historically accurate, mature, adult video game, give this one a shot.

    Detailed, difficult and realistic, as promised. 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.

    On a PS4, the stealth mechanics are so incompatible with the controller that it makes that portion of the game unplayable.

I will say that some of the areas in game appear blurry or rough around the edges and detail which takes away from the immersion. I also noticed the cut scenes look better than actual gameplay. Overall, if your looking for a realistic role-playing game to get lost in, I would recommend it. This is a game that requires patients and respect for realism. I also believe a lot of the issues can be patched once the game receives future updates.

    Pro's:
    The story is great, it's slow at first but really picks up after the tutorial
    Graphics are really great especially when outside in nature
    Soundtrack is spot on for the setting
    Customization for armor and gear is plentiful and wear and tear is neat
    Voice acting is really great better than some AAA titles
    Roleplaying has a lot to offer and choices as well as paths
    Realism in game for setting is the best in category for this genre

Whatever happens you have to learn from, adapt and move on.
    As for the lockpicking complaints, well those are valid. It's terribly difficult to pick locks at the start. So much so that I have broken all my lockpicks and couldn't complete the "tutorial" on it. The good news is that they are already developing a patch to make this a bit easier for those of us with controllers.
    I highly recommend this game to anyone who loves story driven games, history, and a challenge.

    Some people complain about the difficulty and, yes, this game requires some patience to learn (highly recommend that you spend some time with the combat trainer in Rattay), but its just like any skill: it takes time to learn and even longer to master. The combat system is quite flexible and deep, but this means that you can't simply expect to pick it up and be a master. Similarly, the game tells the story of the main character, a blacksmith, not a swordsman, not a bowman. You and he learn together. This does mean that combat can be very hard at first and that's definitely not for everyone, but if you're willing to sink a little time into it, its quite rewarding and very fun. I personally have had no issue playing with a ps4 controller, as others have mentioned they had.

    -The historical accuracy and the the overall "feel" of the game makes it immersive

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.

So they should be very proud with what they have achieved with such little resource and staffing as compared to AAA games.
    This game is by no means perfect but then what game is, the initial day one patch of 23GB shows the team were under pressure right until the end and although the game does have some bugs you can bet your top hat that they will support this game and it will continue to flourish. I have never played a game that makes me look forward to exploring the environment, the world they have re-created is absolutely breath taking, you really can lose yourself in the beauty of the world, the trees, the tiny little details that keep you in the immersion and make the whole experience work. The way the light filters through the trees its beautiful, the sound of local wildlife.
    The water looks good and stumbling across a lake, with the water perfectly still and only the sun’s rays caressing the surface I had to stop and look, just to soak it all up. The way the sun rises above the hill and impairs your vision yet covering everything in a lush golden light, the foliage whips in the wind and birds take flight when you disturb their morning song as you canter past on your trusted steed. Pair this with a movie quality soundtrack and you no longer need to step outside the house but merely step into the world of KCD. Voice acting is great in places but not consistently good, I also noticed the eyes are lifeless and don’t look at you but rather look through you which takes away the immersion, as does not being able to pick up all objects, some bowls, cups etc. can’t be stolen which is a shame when you want to make some extra coin. Cut scenes are plentiful and if you’re not one to watch them you can skip them but your here for the journey right? The characters are well designed and Henry is likeable, the introduction is a good 5 hours and WarHouse really take their time in setting the scene and your place in the world.
    As a blacksmiths son you really can’t do a great deal, your father is against you sword fighting so you’ve excelled in chasing girls and drinking the tavern out of beer. When the story unfolds and events play out, your left to find your own way and this is where the game opens up. This game is full of choices and every action has a reaction. Life goes on in the world regardless of what you do, if your late for a quest or decide not to turn up or you get distracted chasing butterflies then that quest continues without you, you need to manage your time and Henry, he will need feeding, washing, resting and whoring if you’re feeling generous. If you forget he will prompt although not for the last activity on that list. The minigames are tough in KCD but they are only tough because Henry is not a pickpocket by trade, nor is he a swordman or a tradesman so everything is a massive learning curve for both you and Henry, but it’s rewarding so much so that you appreciate the steep curve as the feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction far surpasses the frustration.
    Lock picking is a delicate task and I feel it needs looking at on the console version. I really enjoy the freedom the game gives, you can finish a quest and then go exploring and maybe stumble upon a riddler who will give you money if you play his game, or maybe a bandit will ambush you whilst you are travelling through the woods, the world feels alive although I would like to see more wildlife, the villages could be better populated also, almost go down the AC Origins route with proper crowd interaction but it’s very early days for the Studio.
    Combat was tense and again satisfying with the best fights occurring 1v1, you really have to think about your approach you can’t run in Monty Python style it will just end up in tears, it’s the only game whereby if you personally don’t learn it nor will Henry but then you don’t always have to fight either. If you good with words you can talk your way out of situations or just avoid them completely with some stealth.
    One of the most interesting mechanics I enjoyed is the reading skill, as a blacksmith boy Henry can’t read, although he can look at the words he himself doesn’t understand them, as his skill progresses the words un-jumble themselves as he starts to make sense of the pages. Thus in turn allowing him to learn new potions or skills. It’s a great idea and very refreshing, the whole game feels fresh, new and exciting, push the bugs to one side, For what it is its amazing for what it will be it’s a masterpiece and a future classic.

    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.
