The game is an unpolished gem, a dirty diamond in its actual state but if you’d love a great RPG in a unique setting with an incredible atmosphere, I can thoroughly recommend this game even now. If you’re prone to get easily frustrated, I’d suggest you’d wait another few months until you buy.

    Game looks great on all platforms, but only PC has decent performance atm. All 4 consoles are struggling with inconsistent framerates. X1X Version in that regard is even worse than the other three.    … Expand

    Yes, this game has some issues to be worked out but it is a great game. The graphics are insane amazing and game-play is addictive and fun and I don't even like to play RPG's. I had an issue with the game and the developers got back with me quickly and helped to diagnose the issue and correct it.
    Give the game a chance, the developers are working hard on getting all the issues fixed promptly.

    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.

    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.

    This game is not for everyone. It truly depends on what type of gameplay you as a gamer enjoy. So far from the people I've met and from the reviews I've read, people either love this game or hate it. Having said that most of the issues people have with the game appear to be extremely minor when compared to it peers, i.e. other RPGS, or extremely exaggerated.

    Saving: No you can not save    This game is not for everyone. It truly depends on what type of gameplay you as a gamer enjoy. So far from the people I've met and from the reviews I've read, people either love this game or hate it. Having said that most of the issues people have with the game appear to be extremely minor when compared to it peers, i.e. other RPGS, or extremely exaggerated.

    Saving: No you can not save anytime anywhere you wish without a savior schnapps potion. At first this did appear to be annoying, but at best a nuisance, not a deal breaker. However after playing the game for a bit I discovered that there are plenty of places in the game to save so much so that I haven't purchased or brewed one since the archery competition with Hans. For instance, spend two gold at an Inn. Thirty seconds of picking sage will pay for that. Fast travel to the Millers where you wake up in after the prologue you can save there and store items in the trunk their free of charge whenever you wish. The room where Henry and Lady Stephanie have a glass of wine always stays open and you can sleep there and stow your items in the trunk there as well. These are just an example of a few but their are places all over.

    Lock picking: I'll admit this one extremely frustrated me, so much so that I moved on from it entirely at first. It took alot of grinding and effort to understand the mechanic. Alot of outside game research as well. It has been patched as of two weeks ago and is now way way way easier. But once again it wasn't a deal breaker. Difficult sure, but wasn't impossible and took a good hour of in game time to master. There is definitely a technique to it which is quite complex and takes a bit to learn.

    First move your cursor until it turns yellow.
    Second put the Left joystick at roughly the 11 o clock position
    Third rotate the joystick counter clockwise
    Fourth as it rotates use the right joystick to keep the yellow circle in roughly the same spot.
    Fifth VIBRATION IS KEY the less it vibrates the closer your are to that yellow sweet spot
    Sixth doors out in town will be way easier to pick. Practice on very easy doors until you get your first perk doubling the effectiveness of your picks

    Combat: you have to practice. If you're expecting to take down three armed bandits at once in the start of the game, you're gonna get your buns handed to you. It's not Skyrim. Some people find this realistic aspect annoying, but they forget it's not that type of game. You have to think outside the box especially at the start. Sneak around knock out a bandit steal his gear then slash him while he's unconscious. Poison the camp. Do night raids. Bows are your friends. Eventually four vs one will not be that difficult, but in the start get creative.

    Really I haven't had too many issues in the game and it hasn't been that difficult. Granted I did not buy the game on release so there is a chance I could have already been playing a patched version, however I don't think that's the case.

    The real issue with the game is nothing is really explained that well, you're kind of just thrown into this world and have to learn either from trial and error or outside sources. Nothing is given easily everything is earned. It at times can be grinding and frustrated but that's life, and I think that's what they were going for. Try getting in a fight with four guys in the woods today and see how it goes. Trying picking up a lock and pick and see how well you do.    … Expand

I've heard people complain about the save system but I think it works just fine(you don't need to save every two minutes) and I haven't had any crashes or game breaking bugs in the 14+ hours I put in so far to justify save-scumming, I think most of the frustration is over the PC version where not every gamer's rig will be able to run it properly so don't be mad your 6 year old computer can't run a new AAA title using CryEngine on med-high settings. The Lock-picking mechanic definitely needs a minor tweak on consoles. Its not a hardcore RPG like some would have you believe. The game mechanic's are deep and combat can be a bit tricky at first but it's no harder to play thru then the Witcher 3, casuals might have a harder time but when don't they? You do have to be mindful of your actions cause you don't get do-overs and it only autosaves before or after quests so you might miss certain opportunities if your not careful . I finished the 6 hour tutorial and started over again just to have a better start and do a few things i missed my first play thru. It's definitely worth the full price. The developer seem to be working hard on patches/updates(3 in the first week, miles ahead of Bathesda) so I wouldn't worry about the handful of bugs some of you are experiencing, that's most games nowadays.

    I will write a better review once I finish Playing    … 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 characters are great and the mechanics are generally perfect. Aside from the bugs (which I don't count as an issue as they aren't game breaking) my only issue would be the grind required for certain features. Specifically alchemy and a few quests (I'm looking at you monastery)

    Other reviews seem to focus on two negatives: difficulty and combat. In almost all cases, the games missions are difficult because the developers want you to find an intelligent way to complete the quest and really think about what you are doing, therefore forcing you to invest yourself in the plot and characters. This applies to the saves as well (although I would understand the developer putting in an optional regular auto save). The combat has been called clunky and boring. I simply disagree completely. When you first start, getting a grip on the combat mechanism is challenging yet enjoyable and the feeling when you land a hit or get your first kill is incredibly satisfying. Once you have grasped the basics you can start stringing strikes together for combos or utilising a variety of historically accurate techniques to quickly eliminate enemies. After a while you will find yourself taking on multiple armoured opponents at once and this is when you really feel like a some sort of sword fighting god.

    To round it all up; immersive world, cosy atmosphere, satisfying combat and gripping story. However bug fixes and mechanism tweaks are a must.    … 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.
