Kingdom Come: Deliverance

As I can't update reviews to reflect improved experiences, I'll just note that on a PC that can play other similarly aged titles fine, this game goes from 30-40FPS down to 1-2 constantly. Looks pretty but totally unplayable therefore. I'll now delve into the memory tuning, graphics options enabling/disabling and other possible options to get a game to work on equipment it was designed for. Course I won't be able to update this review with results. Ho hum.

The open world is beautiful, the voice acting is great, and the quests are not bad. The main character is useless in a fight though. It's pretty frustrating to play for several hours and train to fight, and road bandits wipe the floor with him. He swings a sword like it's made of lead. I just got bored and quit playing it. Maybe you have to train for five real hours a day? What's the fun in that?

- I spend 150 hours in game, if its working is one of best games in last 15 years, but.. - its not really realistic, lots of props are there, its hardcore, but realistic not - combat is not realistic, people cloth, hairstyles, real lore is flawed - not really used too much in game, just write something in some codex files is not enough.. - it not include horse vs. horse combat, not polearmrs, spears, daggers, flails etc.. throwing, bow range is joke, no crossbow, historically accurate would be some handguns and canons too (yeah i hate it too, but in 1403 they should be there or game should be from earlier age) - i cant complete game because now its constantly crashing, because of bugs - i tried to complete everything, i found 5 completly bugged quest and others are somehow working, but its full of glitches - its too scripted for real open world sandbox experience - loading screen to every small thing - economy model is completely broken - alchemy is way too overpowered - and it feels a lot like fantasy element, i know there are drugs in really life, but not so strong.. - you can just go through some bushes.

The world design, story, voices, and immersion are fantastic. Unfortunately every element that makes this an actual game are simply terrible. The combat system is atrocious. Playing this with a keyboard and mouse will constantly force you to drag your mouse around your desktop wildly to position it for the directional attacks. Interaction is odd, as if it was a console port, where you are constantly pressing and holding a key to make a circle complete itself to finish an action like eating an apple. Riding a horse in combat is laborious. While attempting to make it run or turn you will constantly accidentally cause it to stop running which will force you to be overrun by enemies. It's too bad that such a beautiful world has been ruined by a garbage control system and laughable combat system.
