Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Preordered and never regretted it. I would've rated the game a 10/10 but a few bugs, ie screen shakes during training sessions and some freezes in the game forces me to drop my rating 1 point. Besides those few buggy incidents the action was excellent, the story was excellent, and combat was as good as games get. 2 thumbs up for Warhorse Studios.

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.

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.

Unique realistic medieval RPG with rich storytelling and historically accurate setting. Beautifully crafted scenery, immersive graphics and very well done voice acting makes it one of the most impressive RPGs created. World feels alive and gives a unique insight in middle ages no other game has achieved. Forest ambience and towns feels wonderfull.

Main character is a young fella who has no skills in the begginning and character progress feels very rewarding if you are up to the challenge.

Main story line is decent and has some plotwists I could not believe I did not see coming.

Recommending dlcs too, at this point they are worth the price.

With all that said, game is not perfect and has some flaws and bugs, however did not notice any game breaking glitches.

Pros:

• Great story and characters
• Ultra-realistic game mechanics
• Deep RPG elements
• Extremely deep gameplay
• Good voice acting
• Organically authentic character progression

Cons:

• Clunky Gameplay
• Tons of bugs and glitches
• Graphics are a mixed-bag
• Game aesthetic can grow alittle bland

Verdict: This game is a call-back from the old RPGs, highlighting its fantastic idea of ultra realism and authenticity. However some flaws have dropped the quality for this game abit. I would recommend playing on PC rather than consoles. Overall it has some very great ideas, but not without some rough edges.

7/10.
