Kingdom Come: Deliverance

This game is masterpiece in every as[ect exept of performance. It has the wors draw speed and distance I ever saw. Even with 1080TI I am experiansing huge Draw lag, some textures are loaded only after 5-10 seconds. PUT IT ON SSD, and mb the problem will be less annoying. Everething else is holding preaty well. One of the most interesting combat systems I ever saw, wery cool and immersive story and I spend 4 hours reading codex where devs describe middleage lifestyle. If you dont mind some bugs and like RPG this will entertain you for 200 hours at least.

The developers made alot of things right. The design is great, the feel is amazing, the fear of being attacked and killed is real. I have had a great time playing this. But it is not all great, there were alot of game breaking bugs for me, bugs that shouldnt be in production, but they were. Had to use the save Mod because I lost far too many hours in crashes. There is alot to do in the world, but it lacks continuity. The quests seem flat, added to the game world as chains of dialog. There is some that really affect the world, but not enough to give satisfaction. The game was very hard for me, at the begining, but after about 15 hours I figured out some of the mechanics and it bacame too easy very quickly, and kind of boring. From having difficulty fighting one armed dude to fighting 6 with no problem. This took the edge and alot of fun with it. The worst thing for me were the bugs, everywhere, taking me out of the fantasy, constantly. For me this is a solid 8/10, alot of effort, great ideas, and great feel. minus the bugs.

I'm writing this review after my first play through of the main quest line. Also SPOILERS will be included in this review so turn away now. This game man, the story instantly sucked me in, the dialogue and AI conversations felt really natural, The game started off with a bang (even though the story was a little cliche), and at times I felt like I had a real connection that grew with some of the characters over time. There's a weird lull in the middle of the story, but towards the end is when it really ramps up. The battles were epic, the way the story twists and turned was unique. However the super satisfying ending that I was looking for never showed up. The story just fell right at the end. After some further reading online there are some rumors that this is only part 1 & 2 and they are working on part 3? I'm not sure... The atmosphere, music, setting, and characters were great. I put a lot of time into this game, and I loved it. The game truly makes you feel insignificant in the beginning and does an excellent job of building you up to the end. The story was also on the path to being one of the best I've ever played, and who knows maybe if part 3 gets released then it may still be, however due to the ending fall off I give it 4 out of 5.

Kingdome Come Deliverance is fantastic. As noted in many other reviews, it is not perfect, but in my opinion it makes the right mistakes. The historical (not fantastic) setting is a breath of fresh air and makes for a really fascinating game. The voice acting is great. The open world really feels like I could go anywhere and do anything. A distinctive of this game is that it takes pride in being "realistic", which leads to it being fairly punishing in certain mechanics (especially combat). This is a valid choice by the designers, but will not be everyone's cup of tea. On the rough side, texture loading is a bit too "just in time", sometimes side quests will seem to end too abruptly, and you'll see all the dialog character animations in about the first five minutes of the game. But given the rewards of the game as a whole, I think these only warrant docking 1 star. Finally, and most importantly: I never thought I'd hear Jan Hus invoked in a computer game, yet KCD does it. Kudos.

Kingdom Come Deliverance is pretty good. It has got a ton of historical facts and it gives an awesome glimpse into what life was like 600+ years ago in The Czech Republic. If the 'learn about X' games in school were actually interesting and well made, then they would be like this game. And it is completely free of wokeness! Yay! The only drawbacks are the game save mechanism, combat, and loading screens. The game save requires you either sleep or drink savior schnapps. The schnapps gets you sloshed, so guards find you suspicious and therefor you tend not to save before stealing stuff... and then you get nicked without having a recent save. Oh my, how I have rage-quitted this game... And combat requires finesse, which I do not have. Luckily, I have trained my dog to bite my opponents leg, so I can hack at him uninterrupted - until I accidentally hit my dog at he buggers off for 5 minutes. Unfortunately, I installed in my HDD - I recommend you use your SSD. The loading screens take a wee bit of time. All in all, at pretty good game that also teaches you stuff - and no preaching! (except the mission where you end up actually having to preach (improv) to a congregation after a bender).
