The story I find to be a very important aspect in every game of this nature, an this is doesn't disappoint. The story is very well written and there is historical pieces throughout which keeps things interesting and immersive. The gameplay experience is also a very immersive experience and when each different mechanic combines it is without a doubt a joy to play. What the game has in an abundance is realism. For the most part enjoyed it, but I admit that the realism can be a bit over the top at times and this can harm the "fun factor" at certain times. The realism when it comes to the combat is something I felt was spot on. The combat is adrenaline filled and the excitement of it is present throughout. This makes the game have a unique feel over other game’s in the same genre. In terms of content, the game has plenty to offer you. The best thing is that none of the content is boring because the world feels alive at every turn. The game doesn’t suffer with very many issues and my only real gripe comes down to the technical issues. Every now and then you will notice a few problems and while none of these are major they can be irritating at times. Without a doubt one of my favorite parts about the game is the presentation side of it. Visually the game looks absolutely stunning at times, and the world has definitely had a lot of thought and effort put into it. The soundtrack is also just as well done and the music and voice acting really deliver an immersive experience. Kingdom Come: Deliverance was worth the wait. All important aspects that make a successful RPG are present, and this creates an enjoyable experience that keeps on giving throughout your time with the game.… Expand

Its huge negative point is the technical side: old-fashioned graphics, lots LOTS of bugs that take you out of that perfect setting and for me the most annoying one is the frequent popping which is horrible. I would give it 9/10 without the technical side, but adding it it goes down to 7. I still recommend it.… Expand

    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, con total y absoluta libertad para ir dónde 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

    The game is constantly being tweaked, but there's simply no other RPG like it that reveals medieval life in such a brutally honest fashion. If you want to escape the norm, sword fight as a knight in shining armor and learn a valid history lesson in a visually stunning, ancient world, play Kingdom Come: Deliverance!

    Steep learning curve, realistic enough, engaging story, revolutionary combat, historical accuracy and so much to do in the world. With such a comparably small budget to larger companies, warhorse has created a masterpiece. Definitely worth a buy if you like history, hardcore games, survival games, rpgs or melee combat. If you are not going to stick with it, it will not stick with you.

You find encounter some bugs if you play on a console. I recommend playing on 1-hour sessions. fully Restart or fully shut down your Xbox before a new session. The game is quite demanding in terms of resources. Many bugs happen on consoles is due to lack of memory and bad optimization of the game (some developers want their game look good, not necessarily perform well).… 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

    Specifically, playing KCD (at least at the moment of writing, it may improve with time and patching) is basically the same as when player character Henry of Skalitz walks into a town covered in a layer of dirt, sweat, and blood, and most people find this none too appealing.

    Imagine that the blood, sweat, and dirt on Henry are the bugs and jarring graphical issues on an otherwise excellent RPG. This is where I am at right now. Specifically with the release of the 1.3 patch, this game has become sadly unplayable due to graphical errors. Think pop-in, the kind that destroys a game based on realism because it pulls you out of any sense of immersion when basic textures on buildings and NPCs don't load for tens of seconds after you approach within 10 meters of them.

    Add to this a molasses-slow framerate with jarringly noticeable stutter and the gareden-variety bugs you'll find in any RPG this size, and I have to recommend a 'wait-and-see' posture to this game. And that kills me to say, because under all these technical issues is a remarkably well executed RPG for a brand new studio.

    If they fix the bugs, pop-in, and framerate issues, I'd happily give this game a 9/10. Until that time, I can't in good conscience rate it any higher than a 6.5/10.    … 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.
