    This is one of the most addicting RPGs I've ever played. I'm about 10-12 hours in and it sucks you in and keeps you wanting more. It is very rewarding as you progress and continue to grow your skills. If you are looking for a hyper realistic RPG/Game then this is the one.

    Now this is what I call a realistic RPG. You start as a weak peasant with no experience and once you get into the mechanics and pretty difficult fighting system, you can't stop playing. Overall rating: 8.2.

Like the picklocking is super hard on xbox and I felt there was a cliffhanger at the end with not getting the sword back I found the combat much easier then people said it was all in all I whold Recommend this game.… Expand

    This is the best game I ever played.
    To put that into context: I played it, after Warhorse mostly fixed the major bugs, but the graphics still lacked often enough, in my recent third playthrough there was still a loading bug that destroyed the whole playthrough up to that point, and I'm not very far traveled in the gaming field, although I played some of the major RPGs.

    But the story, the game mechanics (i.e. the fighting), the choices the studio made in regard to historical accuracy (since I studied medieval history this spoke to me in specific way), the details in this game, it has been all nearly overwhelming to me. Only thing that sometimes bothered me, was that there are no children at all in this game. But maybe the developers had a good reason for that.
    I am very well aware that at this point no-one will read this to decide on a potential purchase, but I simply had to review it, because it is a masterpiece.    … Expand

Мешает играть, чувствовать себя мальчиком для битья вообще не приятно, даже учитывая, что играете вы за сына кузнеца. Враги парируют атаки просто из всех возможных углов… бред. Комбинаций никаких не сделаешь, по той же причине. Жирный минус этой игре за Боёвку, не стал проходить до конца, просто не приятно убивать нервы на неё.
    Итог: большое разочарование. Игровой мир маленький, всё пытается подаваться с закосом на реализм, но по факту - вы сохраняетесь потому что пьёте шнапс, такой бред:) ну и ещё раз, боевая система ужас, вы скрестили свинью и гепарда и получили «Месть боксера»

It looks gorgeous, the voice acting is good and the opening hours of the story is well written and gripping. However, the fatal flaw with Kingdom Come Deliverance is its awkward, slow and clunky combat. The directional system is almost completely useless and under utilized during defense as blocking in all directions is only one button. Directions only matter during attacks. However, for someone who inverts their Y axis, the directionality of the attacks become hard to manage outside of cardinal directions. The other problem with the combat is how slow attacking is. Pressing RB or RT to poke or slice isn't immediate and leaves you open to attack. There's an overly long wind-up for a poking and slicing that just isn't present in other modern RPGs that rely on the first person perspective and sword & shield combat. During the beginning hours, the game throws near impossible to defeat enemies at you. Other reviewers have labeled this as "difficult", but it's not. It's an improperly built difficulty curve. If you look at other reviews, both from critics and users, you'll notice a trend that mentions combat gets easier as your character gets stronger. This isn't how a difficulty curve should be and it isn't what makes progression of not only your character, but of the player's mastery of the game and combat mechanics worthwhile. If a game is hard at the beginning, but easy towards the end, there's something wrong with how progression was laid out. Admittedly, I didn't finish the game. I really enjoyed the story up to Henry starting his training, but the forced sword battle with Hans was just too frustrating due to the slow paced and generally awful combat of the game to make me want to continue it. It really disappoints me because there was so much else about this game to like. Unfortunately, an overly flawed combat system and difficulty curve makes this game inaccessible for all but the most stubborn of gamers who really don't have anything better to spend their time playing.… Expand

    First off, I know there are bugs but given the size of the developer and the scale of the game, I'm thoroughly impressed that there aren't a lot more. Must have been a hell of a feat.

    What an excellent game! I can't remember liking a game this much since Fallout series. I'm almost 100 hours in and I'm completely addicted. This game is a combination of the atmosphere of Runescape, the RPG elements of Fallout, and real history.

    COMBAT: The combat is amazing! Most games just give the enemy a ton of HP and more damage to make them harder while giving you less HP and dealing less damage. Bullet sponges. Warhorse studios made a real fighting system which takes skill and training to get good at, and the better enemies are good fighters and have good armor, which is how a game should be! The only way to beat them is to be good with your weapon which takes time! The other option, which has never crossed my mind in other games, is to flee. There is so much satisfaction when you finally get good.

    PACING: I love that you start off as a nobody instead of some master class knight or a king. In the beginning, you are good at absolutely nothing and the only way to level up your skills are to do those things, forcing you to utilize every element of the game that you want to improve on. This makes leveling up fun and rewarding, even for trivial skills like "reading" and "pickpocketing." This game does not baby you, and treats you like the intelligent person that you are.

    STORY: This game basically stays true to Czech / Polish history and makes it so much more immersive. I really liked the story and while some side quests were 'fetchy,' most weren't and it was full of interesting content. Best part is this is one of the few game studios who don't give in to the PC police / SJW journalists, and it shows. So many game journalists saying the game isn't "diverse" enough for them... they can shove it. I felt like I was in 13th century Europe and it's a beautiful experience seeing how people lived back then.

    There's a lot more I could say about this game but this review is long enough. There are some bugs and glitches, and a few mechanics that are a bit off (i.e. animal AI, horse mechanics, etc.) but just remember that this game was a kickstarter by a very small group who ended up creating a AAA experience. Definitely buy the game if you haven't already. It's one of the best games I've ever played.    … Expand

Lock picking on the other hand is terrible but luckily it’s an open world game so there are other ways of unlocking locks such as pickpocketing. The start does have some redeeming quality’s such as an emotional event (no spoilers) and a rival which in turn made me feel really invested in the story which is also amazing with its character development and voice acting making characters feel like real people.

Combat is a huge mess with a huge artificial difficulty cliff that people defend by saying you're just a commoner and not a skyrim god. However you'll get curb stomped by literally everything except an unarmed peasant. You have to fight a bandit (literally just an armed peasant) he'll magic block all your attacks (even if you attack the way you're told to in training) even if he's in the middle of an attack, so you decide to play it careful and perfect block + riposte, he instantly blocks your counter attack then launches his own counter attack that the game doesn't let you block, and if you're unlucky he gets to use a 6 hit combo on you since enemies have infinite stamina that doesn't seem to be reduced when you damage them (your personal stamina is called at whatever your current health is), so even if they have a sliver of health you can wail on them forever till they get a counter and unleash hell on you. Now let's move on from combat. Every single person in the game seems to be an omniscient god (when they're not blade masters), if you silently knock someone out, they know everything about you when they wake up, you will instantly get a bounty and every guard instantly knows exactly what you look like, your social security number, what you had for lunch a month ago (in real life) and where you are. Did i mention guards can also see through walls? Alright, now let's say run from combat because you got in over your head, too bad you can't, the game's autolock literally forces you into combat no matter how many times you smash B, and if you do manage to cancel autolock and start running there's now 3 things that can happen (actually running away isn't one of them) 1. You turn around and autolock activates and settings you 180 degrees back into the fight. 2. You have no stamina to run because if you are hit your stamina drains, go to 1. 3. You have some stamina so you start to run away, however enemies have infinite stamina (remember?) so go to option 2. The graphics are pretty good UNTIL it starts raining, and it's literally worse looking rain than the rain in Minecraft, and it makes it extremely hard to see. Next is the sound, it's really bad. It seems like the dubbing is off constantly and sounds effects aren't coming from where they should be. The volume also seems totally messed up, i turned sfx and music down so i can properly hear dialogue, but speech still seems to be at random volumes. However, despite all of this i can't give it one star because it is playable (technically) and there are a lot of quests and some good story telling. So in the end, unless you can sink 40+ hours into the game don't bother even playing it.… Expand

    With an expansive story and memorable mechanics, it’s hard not to view Kingdom Come: Deliverance as one of the most interesting RPG releases in years. One where the difficulty is often a barrier to progress and some of the design choices become frustrating experiences in repetition or flat out giving up and moving on to another activity. Or reloading an earlier save to do more sword training. Rough around the edges sure, but the ambition often shines through.

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance delivers a huge, complex world with a host of things to get involved in. The story is well written, brilliantly acted and expertly executed. I am worried that the buggy nature of the game will put many off and whilst the vast majority of the problems shouldn’t worry anyone too much, it can get a tad annoying.
