    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.

    Many rpg's nowadays are very easy , combat is hack&slash, you have detailed maps and quest markers so questing is piece of cake.

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

    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    … Expand

    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"

    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.

    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.    … Expand

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.

    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.
