Kingdom Come: Deliverance

KINGDOM COME: DELIVERENCE (2018) was a great game. There needs to be more games like this. Historical Adventure RPG. Beautiful graphics. Great music. Great storytelling based on actual history. Great, memorable characters. And yes, while it's true the gameplay can be a bit wonky and buggy, it's certainly not the worst and you get used to it as you play a bit longer. It would be great if those buggy mechanics were fixed, but it didn't really intervene with my personal enjoyment of the game or stop me from playing it. The game was too rich and immersive an experience to quit.

This game can definitely be a bit challenging, as a warning for players not looking for much difficulty in a game. Otherwise, it's very exciting and so much to keep you busy with. There so much love and level of detail in this game. The world design in the historic setting was stunning and really compelling. Landscapes are intricately crafted. Villages were detailed and vibrant. Overall, I really enjoyed the richness of this game. You can get lost in it.

9.5/10.

I've played this game 3x, and that in my opinion makes me qualified to say that this is, bar none, the best game in a decade. Beautiful created open world, solid storyline and tons of side quests. Its many different skills that need developing make it continuously interesting. Historically accurate to the t., no fantasy - thank God- and still fully engaging and challenging. Cut scenes are breath taking. Storyline and characters are rounded. It brings you a few of the best written game characters ever (My favs beside Henry: Hans Capon and Father Godwin). The love that went into making this game shows everywhere. The alchemy procedures, the tabs with historical stats, the food, learning archery and all medieval weaponry from scratch and the use of Shakespearian English to give it the right feel.

You ask: If this game is so historically accurate, is this game then still hot? It is sexy? Ffffff....yeah! Henry is a humorous likeable hotty with an amazing voice who's character development is convincing and believable. My favourite of Henry's lines?: "My insides are all shrivelled up with the hunger!" and "I would like to use theeeee bathhouses' services...?".

This game is bang for your buck for sure. Get it! But.....Groschen first ("These are harsh times".) If there's a perfect game out there, this is it.

Beautiful story, technical buggy nightmare, almost unplayable.

The design of the combat system was created from 2013 until the present. Based on over 1,000 different sources. All techniques are based on real moves and shot by experienced fighters. In the Czech Republic, there are regular games of play fighting, with practicing realistic guns. Depending on the game, HEMA can be learned.

Kingdom Come Deliverance began with multiple issues and mistakes that almost made the game unplayable, but what about now? The game has had numerous updates and fixes and finally, we have gotten the game we truly wanted. First of all, the game does an excellent job in teaching you about the time, why? Because they hired a historian! Yes, this game is focused on history, no fables, no dragons, no heroes. Just a plain blacksmith boy and a story of revenge. The history in this game is amazing, everything from as little as buckets and hay to castles, moats and landscapes, everything looks as it would have in the time period. Which is for those who do not know, the Hungarian Holy Emperor period aka the 14th century. We then appear in the most beautiful, stunning graphically detailed world I have seen for quite some time. The graphics rival that of Unreal Engine and show us the potential of the CryEngine when it is fully revamped. The only downside to the beauty is that it is just there for show, no bandit attacks or hardly any and the world just seems empty. We do some errands for the blacksmith, Henry's father, and then get treated to the game's combat mechanics. Now, this is not for everyone as it is a "You either love it or you hate it" scenario. The combat is very realistic with strikes feeling like they have depth but it is sometimes considered jittery and just awkward at times. However it is possibly the best combat I've seen in a medieval game. All other skills work very well with Pickpocketing being too easy though and Lockpicking being harder than marrying a dragon. Seriously,if you like lockpicking, you won't after you have played this. The only time the game fails disastrously is the glitches and bugs which have unfortunately been fixed but sometimes still remain. I ran into one when playing in the early hours that removed Henry's model from the game and so I could not play and had to restart the entire game. These kind of glitches are rare but when they happen, they can destroy your game and leave you annoyed. The best tip I can give people is to just try and be as normal as possible, don't jump on walls, leave when you aren't supposed to etc because the game just cannot handle it.

So to conclude, Kingdom Come Deliverance is a stunningly beautiful, historic, fun game but the glitches are unrelenting. Avoid them and you'll be fine.
