Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Thankfully, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is not a landslide, a mix of game and reality. It may not capture the appeal of the overall mainstream, but that’s okay. Anyone willing to take a dive into the niche waters of the gaming world, and not afraid of games being unforgiving, should definitely check this out. I love this game. Open your eyes, give this game a try and see.

It's almost impossible not to compare Kingdom Come: Deliverance with the Witcher series: there's absolutely no fantasy in the Warhorse production, but it boasts a strong character, an enormous quantity of content, choices that matter, and an adult and mature storyline. You can't expect the same visual quality or a comparable level of polish (pun intended), but the battles are like nothing you've ever seen, and the depth of the simulation really drags the player into a beautiful medieval novel.

Kingdom Come is nothing short of awe-inspiring, with its flaws and all. I hope we see many more games like this from Warhorse.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a surprising, unique and precious experience, whose imperfections disappear in the embrace of a world in which you will leave a small part of yourself.

The love that's gone into developing KCD shows through its outer skin of bugs and bloody violence. [Apr 2018, p.66]

Had the initial forty-to-fifty hour campaign not delivered the level of bugs and problems present in the current build, you'd easily be looking at potentially one of the year's best all-round experiences in an RPG and an essential for everyone no matter your affiliation with the genre. As it stands, visually, technically and mechanically sound as its foundation is, Kingdom Come: Deliverance's performance is an unruly and occasionally unpredictable beast.

If Kingdom Come: Deliverance has a ton of bug fixing to improve the performance drastically, it could be a hidden gem. It’s clear that the game, despite its grand ambitions, was simply not ready for public consumption. Shimmers of brilliance are there and had it seen more time in the oven, or set its expectations at a more reasonable level, it could have been brilliant and scored significantly higher as a result. Alas, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is another cautionary tale rather than a trend setter.

The greatest RPG I have played, at times it can feel difficult or janky, the biggest example being fighting multiple people at once, this can feel challenging or awkward due to being attacked from multiple angles at once, but in the end it can still be dealt with and won. Everything about the game from the atmosphere, acting, gameplay and story is all impeccable and I love this game so much. I have now beat it 3 times (once on hardcore with all negative perks), earned every achievement and played for over 300 hours and there is still more to the game I have not done/discovered.

The story, characters, dialogues and cutscenes are masterpieces 10/10, but the gameplay is just so slow and boring, the fighting, alchemy, and every little action. Only the horse riding is okay gameplay wise.

With its many mechanical similarities to Gothic by Piranha bytes, Kingdom Come Deliverance can be a bit frustrating piece of wood (weird animations, quite ugly character models, textures often not loading, objects teleporting, characters disappearing, bugs when fighting, glitched story missions). However I must admit that if this game hasn't sold well it would be titled the underappreciated gem. Historical accuracy is its very strong side, setting is also unique. While not in cutscenes, it can be really immersive. I've heard that exactly what I'm criticizing has been redesigned in the sequel, which I look forward to checking myself. 7/10

I am a huge fan of KCD2 but the first entry in the series is just yanky. It's frustrating, badly balanced and masochistic. It's not enjoyable wasting 45 minutes of playtime just because you can't save and main quest opposition is much too difficult for what the game has taught you so far. It's not an MMORPG, you shouldn't have to "grind" to not be punished in the main quest.

Огромное количество багов, абсурдные механики(попробуйте взламывать замки на геймпаде). Избыточный реализм не забывайте. Графон тоже невероятный)))
