Kingdom Come might be the most realistic medieval RPG ever made. The world-building is incredibly detailed, the atmosphere feels truly historical, and the immersion is on a level most RPGs never reach. The story is solid. Not groundbreaking, but grounded and engaging enough to keep you playing. The combat system, though, is honestly terrible. It is clunky, unintuitive, and frustrating to the point of pure anger. …

I purchased this game along with its sequel hoping to play through it rather quickly to get to the second game, almost 200 hours later and I'm still on this one. This is one of the most immersive and grounded gaming experiences I've ever had. Kingdom Come: Deliverance forces you to be a part of the world it has built, time always moves onward effecting questlines and NPC routines. There are survival elements like …

128 hours in, and I’ve finished the main game and all the DLC except Hardcore Mode. Kingdom Come: Deliverance is one of those games that takes a little patience before it really clicks. The combat can be frustrating, the first few hours are rough, and Henry is basically useless at everything when you start. But once you settle into the world, that’s where the game really shines. What I loved most is how immersive …

I got kcd for $3 and felt so bad after some hours of gameplay because I realized it deserves to be purchased full price. I fell in love with this game as it really shows how the devs put their hearts in it. Beautiful art and soundtrack, tons of content, choices really matter in a lot of quests, almost no fantasy elements which is a breath of fresh air for me, excellent voice acting and the freedom of doing things my …

I went into Kingdom Come: Deliverance expecting a medieval Skyrim, but instead I discovered a muddy, grounded, and deeply human RPG that I did not realize I had been craving for years, one that treats the Middle Ages like a place people actually lived, where food spoils, reputations matter, and armor has weight. Bohemia feels like a functioning place with its own rules, routines, and logic rather than a backdrop …

Critics, per Wikipedia
Kingdom Come: Deliverance received "mixed or average" reviews from critics for the PS4 and Xbox One versions, while the PC version received "generally favorable" reviews, according to review aggregator website Metacritic. GameRevolution described the game as "if you stripped Skyrim of the fantastical creatures and magic", and concluded that "it made for good enough of an experience to warrant enduring the game's bugs and shortfalls." GameSpot identified the game's attention to small detail as both a positive and negative point in the game, praising the "Incredible attention to historical detail" and "Extensive, lifelike quests", but criticising that "Overly rigorous core mechanics can get…

neutral · AI labelView post →Halfway through my game they decided to implement a sketchy EULA, and require the creation of a 3rd party account to play their single player game. From what I played until that point, I would say the game is pretty good. The early game can be difficult, especially as you learn the combat mechanics, but after 10-15 hrs in it becomes a lot easier. It's unfortunate as I would like to play more, but after reading through the EULA, I decided to uninstall.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At the point of typing this I'm stuck on the Nest Of Vipers quest, which I feel isn't really far in the game. I gave up on this game originally when I first bought it because the "tutorial" frustrated me beyond reason, and I had just come off playing other medieval games like Mount and Blade, and Mordhau, I thought maybe I was just stuck in a mode that didn't favor KCD1's style of gameplay, so I put it off. My latest experience has gone a little more tolerably, but only a little. I am trying to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Many people say this game is a masterpiece, but I wouldn't go that far. What I can definitely say is that this is one of the best RPGs that revolves around realism. It's an amazing RPG, but I don't think it's for everyone. It's quite different from the RPGs I've played before. Story If you're expecting a badass story with crazy action, this ain't for you. And you're definitely not the main character. The story is simple and feels like real events that just keep happening one after another.…

The Casual Gamer The grounded story is cool, but trying to enjoy the beautiful open world gets constantly bogged down by annoying survival chores, a frustrating potion-based save system during quests, and clunky, punishing combat where you just run away for the first five hours. 2. The RPG Lover A historically authentic masterpiece where your…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →NOT HAPPY I have put over 100hrs into this game and right at the end, i have a game ending glitch, because i completed a DLC from 2019 before the main story, i should not have to make a brand new playthrough and go through the same 60+ hours of gameplay because a developer can't be bothered to fix a KNOWN bug. If i could refund it i would and its totally ruined my experience.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Update: Okay i didn`t give up, i kinda got a bit better with the battle system. But the more you play, the more you notice this system was never made to fight more than 1 NPC at the same time. Later on you are part of a big battle, fighting dozens of people, you can swing your sword but it doesn`t work, the game keeps pushing you away and want to force you in "lock on mode" in the usual duel stance. It´s actually laughable. Anyway, i also had quest bugs all over, had to download mods to solve…

neutral · AI labelView post →Yes, I've played the game over 200 hours, and yes, this is a negative review. I will be more than happy to state the numerous reasons why. While most of the game can be an enjoyable experience, the developers decided to ruin the game by making the stupid decision to write in game breaking scripting that does the following (these are actual game play events that I witnessed): 1. NPCs on the roads will, purposely, walk into your path and YOU are the one who is blamed, not only by the moron…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I finally had the time to beat this game in big 2025 and I'm so glad I chose to go on this adventure. The friction in its systems encourage you to engage with a world that has no magic with such sincerity, I would have never expected it. The Elder Scrolls isn't coming back any time soon, but I think we might have found something better.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best open-world RPGs I've ever played. I understand some people might disagree, but here is my short review on why this game is worth your time (contains spoilers for the prologue): Widely considered one of the most accurate and realistic medieval settings ever created in gaming. Now, don't get me wrong, it is still a work of fiction, but the portrayal of real geographical locations and politics is well-placed. If you want to play an RPG without any fantasy elements, this is as…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really want to like this game because of the effort put into most of aspects of it. It's historically accurate, the combat is really interesting, the graphics are nice, world seems very open, etc... However, the game is ABSOLUTELY riddled with bugs/badly thought out quests. It's incredibly easy to get locked out of some questlines because of it. I see myself constantly having to look up online whether I did something wrong, or if it's a glitch, or if things are supposed to be that way. To…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an adventure game focused on immersing you in the late medieval European countryside. I don’t regret the time I spent with it. For me, the main obstacle to enjoying it was the myriad of labels this game carries. You might hear that it’s an RPG, open-world, survival, historical, or hardcore game. All of that is kind of true, but if you come in expecting any of those elements to shine, you’ll be disappointed. Character progression and choice/consequence in this game…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I feel like I gave this game a solid chance. The breaking point for me was multiple opponent combat. Its just too common to be riding on the road and suddenly surrounded by up to five opponents. The combat system does not do well in this situation and you'll likely die and lose a lot of progress. I had indeed leveled my guy up to level 10 (of 30) in all main stats at this point. Enemies have near perfect blocking. Combat isn't fun. Archery isn't fun. Thievery isn't fun. Game has a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Probably one of the best immersive RPG's that you can play. There is so much that you can do wrong that it is actually funny. There are a lot of things that are intertwined with another (e. g. when having a collection quest to turn it in quickly before the thing you collect can turn bad or cold (without having a timer)) That said, as it is trying to be as realistic as possible, the gameplay is suffering immensely. I didn't enjoy it at all. It is not fun to play for me. It just feels…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An absolute legendary medieval RPG that shouldn’t exist in this timeline. After finishing the second game (which I played first), I came back here for more peasant adventures, and I loved it. Let’s be honest: it’s a rougher game than the sequel. Rougher. Sharper. Less forgiving. But don’t be afraid of that if you value deep stories and worlds that grab you from the very first moments. At times it feels unpolished: the graphics, animations, and some mechanics clearly show their age. It can be…
