    Kingdom Come: Deliverance delivers on its ambitious promise for a realistic, grounded open-world medieval role-playing game, with engaging and complex gameplay systems, weighty and tactical combat and an interesting main story slightly let down by a lack of polish and technical issues on launch.

    Kingdom Come's rough edges are smoothed by the knowledge you're playing a game where no detail is too small. Exploring 1400s Bohemia is a sure-fire delight.

    A veraciously detailed RPG that sometimes forsakes fun in the name of 'realism.' [Apr 2018, p.83]

    Warhorse Studio has achieved the most realistic and respectful with the History medieval RPG. Kingdom Come Deliverance introduces plenty of good ideas in the genre. But they are not quite well-implemented in this gigantic ambitious map. The game needs updates for optimization improvement.

    Kingdom Come is one of the most ambitious RPGs in a long while, with lots of things to do and choices to make. Some technical issues aside – if you are into Skyrim and The Witcher 3 - it is worth a closer look.

    If you absolutely love simulators and really appreciate realism and the little details in games, then this will really grip you. But at the same time, many will find the game far too frustrating and unforgiving, both because of the intense focus on realism that doesn't always result in fun gameplay experiences, and the number of bugs and severe loading times. There's a compelling game here, but it needs a polished edge only a series of patches or a sequel can deliver. We can't wait for either.

    A gaming experience will never feel real, much less truly playable, when it's plagued with as many bugs as this game is—not least of which is its failure to at times recognize your button inputs.

KCD makes a lot ofFor me one of the best games ever and unfortunately one of the few first person RPGs in which you fight with swords and co. KCD makes a lot of its modest possibilities: The independent combat system is great fun (the only criticism here would be the combos, which were almost impossible to implement at least for me), the open, beautiful game world is atmospheric and immersive due to its "realistic" design (completely without volcanoes and other crap, there is still enough to discover), the character system with its perks is super coherent (learning by doing), the quest are well written with hardly any repetitions and several ways to solve and and and and ... What for me as for many others were also very well received: in KCD you are not the designated hero with overwhelming abilities, but you literally have to fight your way out of the gutter and, thanks to the skill system, naturally develop your skills according to your own playing style. If you expect a lot of action, you will be disappointed, KCD is more for "slow gamers" and develops its full fascination over time.
    The start might be a little hard and even contains some light "survival" elements which makes it even more rewarding fighing (or sneaking) you way through it.

    Sure, the technology doesn't blow anyones mind on a normal PS4, which has bothered me, especially with the somewhat stiff NPC movements and the frequent pop-ups of textures, buildings etc. Luckily, many other early issues such as the annoying lock picking with the controller have already been patched.

    With the story you could go a step further here and there, but the variety of the quest design, the many side quest and greats dlcs, the game world etc. are absolutely covering all the technical issues . The anticipation for part 2 could hardly be bigger. This is a real immersive rpg you can spend many hours with. Its not a perfect game but it makes many things different in a positive way than other so called rpgs like Witcher 3 (dont get me wrong, it loved this games as well) which all in all makes KCD a wonderful experience.

    If you are like me and you like to take games slow I think this is the right game for you.

    Do not think that Kingdom Come will be like the typical RPG such as Skyrim or The Witcher where there is a lot of actions and fast desitions to make. No, this games takes RPG to the proper level and lets you decide almost everything you want.

    The peace of the game is relatively slow so you need to have patience in order to achieve some goals in the game. For me is like a dream come true, I was hoping for a game like this for years!

    No magic and stuff, only hardcore medieval times
    I will give it 10/10, just because of people who will cry about bugs (I know there is lags but they will fix it, it's small team and independent studio) and SJW who will give it 0/10 because of "no POC in game"

The game hosts some of the most solid first person sword fighting there is, enjoyable characters and story ,and a rich world to explore.

    However an abundance of bugs, pacing issues, disappointing ends to some quest lines and optimization problems keep this game from reaching its full potential.

Прежде всего это обилие механик, которые насыщают ролевую систему. Следом идет весьма неплохой сюжет и вариативность в квестах, как побочных, так и основных. Добавим к этому свежую боевую систему и замечательные пейзажи. В общем-то, на этом все.
    А вот плохого в игре намного больше. Пустой и унылый открытый мир, в котором кроме сюжетной линии нет интересных событий или занятий. Ужасный визуал, за который разработчикам должно быть стыдно (для игры 2018 года с бюджетом 35 млн долларов). Псевдореалистичность, которая то работает тут, то не работает там. Огромное количество технических проблем, которые полностью ломают не только погружение в игру, но и большинство геймплейных фишек. При первом знакомстве боевая система кажется разнообразной и многогранной, но уже через пару часов понимаешь что она тут банальная до нельзя и разнообразием даже не пахло. Местами игра настолько кривая и убогая, что отпадает малейшее желание продолжать.
    Здорово придумали сохраняться шнасом. Если бы эта дрянь не вылетала и хоронила каждый раз по двадцать-тридцать минут игрового времени. Даже если поправят все баги, максимум 7 баллов. А пока только 6.
