Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Satan himself couldn't have designed worse combat if he tried. The combat only works if its a one on one fight, which I could count on one hand the amount of times that happened. The rest of the time youre fighting multiple enemies, which makes the combat devolve into walking backwards and masterstriking the whole time. Trying to pull off combo's is pointless since every Tom ♥♥♥♥ and Harry knows the masterstrike and can interrupt your combo, making the masterstrike the only viable way to engage with the combat. The game also kept thinking that I was trying to run away in combat and an enemy would hit me in the back, even when I wasn't trying to run. If the terrain is even slightly uneven during combat, you'll start whiffing your attacks even if you're right in the enemy's face. All of this combined with a camera that actively works against you most of the time, makes this game about as enjoyable as being the victim of a chinese steel mill accident. The story and characters are admittedly great, but the story itself is bogged down by a great deal of quests being mindless busywork, with a third act that loses steam halfway through. The world is gorgeous and the soundtrack is really good, and there is some fun in exploring the world. I did deal with some bugs here and there, and suffered from frame drops in areas with lots of NPC's. Overall, don't waste your time with this game and play KIngdom Come Deliverance 2 instead, it's so much better in every way.

dö jobbigt att behöva dräpa alla vakter i en stad bara för att inte bli av med mitt svärd💔😔

Very clunky and frustrating. I have played with mouse and keyboard and a plugin controller and neither way makes the game any more enjoyable. Combat tries very, very hard to be good and it would be a pretty good system if the camera didn't bounce around like a methed-up kangaroo and your armor and weapons didn't disintegrate so quickly. Seriously, you can't fight more than three people in a row because your sword and sabatons give out on you after the second Hungarian (forcing you to spend what little money you haven't spent of food and fines on repairing the same farkarkte weapons for the upteenth time). What's more, single-person duels are actually really fun but the game insists on always pitting you against at least five guys at a time on pitched slopy hillsides that penalize any kind of tactical repositioning beyond circling or being surrounded. The menus are all way too crowded and visually busy, ten zillion quest markers are crammed into a tiny compass bar at the top (which, by the way, marks individual objectives as "A" "B" "C" ad infinium but the quest journal doesn't tell you which of the objectives is which), it keeps forcing you into cutscenes (which is a huge pet peeve of mine) which interrupts the flow of gameplay, all the animations are super slow and tedious, and Henry moves like a drunkard. Ah Henry. Has there ever been a less interesting protagonist than Henry of Skalitz? Look, if they were going for a sort of underdog everyman, some random 15th-century yobbo who gets yanked out of his peaceful village life and thrust into a historic conflict a la Frodo Baggins, fine. But Henry's so painfully uninspiring and lame. He's just some random loser and the game, try as it might, could never make me care any more about him. And he looks like a pug who got hit with a skillet. I know people love this game. The level of historical detail they packed into it is really commendable. The graphics, on a high setting, are beautiful. The designs of the armor and weapons and the mix-and-match customization make me want to love this game too. But I can't force myself to. It's a clunky, jerky slog with a flat, boring protag and a combat system that's really really good half the time and just plain awful the other half. Thank the Maker I only spent five bucks on this.

good game

По оглядам думав гра 7/10, як же ш недооцінив. Прям СУПЕР, вартувала того)

Annoying, ignored, and uninstalled. Not player-friendly. A huge F you devs.

I am admittedly pretty late to righting this review as I played this game predominately in 2022 and 2023, however before the existence of KCD II this was easily my favourite RPG's and sat comfortably in my Top 3 games. Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an open world game with a stronger focus on realism and difficulty. You start off as Henry, an inexperienced and unprepared peasant. You can tangibly feel how weak of a character he is at the beginning, which makes it all the more satisfying when you level up and become more talented in combat. The combat is the highlight of the game for me, although tricky to get the hang of at first - but using directional attacks to launch combos at your opponents is extremely satisfying. However, I would be the first to admit that it can become a bit janky when multiple opponents are present. Many of the jank/problems you encounter in this game are more often than not, are fixed in the sequel. I found this game to be so immersive that I lost whole days of my life playing this game from dawn to dusk. The historical setting absorbed me into many wiki articles, as I would pause to read more into the mentioned events and locations to further enrich my understanding of the game. Although it is tempting and completely possible to enjoy Kingdom Come: Deliverance II without playing the original. I strongly recommend that you play Kingdom Come: Deliverance before you play the sequel, to fully appreciate how far has series has come.

The best game ever! Fighting better than Withcher!

What an absolute gem of a game. The game can be slow, grinding and hard to get into. But if you stick with it you will find a rich and detailed game from start to finish. It relies on a lot of original and unique systems that may seem clunky at first but all serve to enhance the core theme of the game. The game is equally rewarding and punishing in all aspects. Combat is fun in one-on-one battles and it's clearly where it works best, as compared to larger skirmishes. The duelling back and forth between you and the opponent can be very fun. Skill leveling feels great. Usually you're improving some kind of skill no matter what you're doing. Especially improving your reading skill, feels like having the world around you open up. There's tons of great side content including the DLC's. A lot of it, I found, was more entertaining than parts of the main quest. One questline here I would particularly like to point out however, is when you go to serve as a monk at the monastery. For the sake of realism, the game will unapologetically slow down to a boring halt- but that's part of the charm. In the end, I found there was something quite satisfying about it. Dialogue has a lot of options, some of more consequence than other. The humor is genuinely good from time to time. What I'm probably most impressed by from the game in it's entirety, was the game world itself. It felt alive, vibrant, believable. Exploring the country sides and towns felt magical. This also has the best forests I have ever seen in a video game. A playthrough can last a long time, depending how much content you want to see. With the main game, side quests and DLC's my playthrough was roughly 120 hours. I believe I experienced all the content, perhaps except for finding every last buried treasure. Punishing, slow, clunky and with its' fair share of bugs. If you can stick with the game, you will experience an absolutely wonderful setting.
