Warhorse Studios took a risk with Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Its unique and ambitious RPG approach makes it the ultimate Middle Age simulator, but poor optimization and a mountain of bugs make it difficult to recommend.

3DNews	Денис Щенников	8 / 10	02-23-2018	Kingdom Come is a unique roleplaying experience, full of interesting ideas and brutal medieval atmosphere. Which would be awesome, if not for a bunch of bugs and technical issues.	Read review
ACG	Jeremy Penter	Not Recommended	02-13-2018	A serviceable game with unique ideas but far too many technological issues	Read review
Attack of the Fanboy	William Schwartz	2.5 / 5 stars	02-13-2018	Technical issues aside Kingdom Come: Deliverance is at best an ambitious game. There are flashes of brilliance in the implementation of Warhorse Studios' unique systems of the game, as it truly does have interestingly deep survival and progression elements. Though when you do take into account the technical issues it becomes a frustrating experience in which the bad completely outweighs the good.	Read review
AusGamers	Kosta Andreadis	7.4 / 10	03-26-2018	Rough around the edges sure, but the ambition often shines through.	Read review
BaziCenter	میلاد طاهرنژاد	8 / 10	02-20-2018	Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a very deep, atmospheric and ultra-realistic RPG title that will really challenge every hardcore fan of the genre.	Read review
Bazimag	Hossein Sadri	8 / 10	03-02-2018	Despite having lots of issues, Kingdom Come is still a great game. It provides exceptional content and is successful in presenting a good story and gameplay. The game creates memorable experiences for its players; in addition, a few updates can gradually convert Deliverance into a flawless title. We’ve tried our best to give the game a score with no expiry date. We do not deny the problems, yet we’re certain about one thing; if you miss playing Deliverance, you won’t have a full experience of 2018.	Read review
CGMagazine	Brendan Quinn	8 / 10	03-09-2018	Kingdom Come: Deliverance attempts to shake up the Western RPG by shedding familiar fantasy tropes and focusing on realistic mechanics and historical events.	Read review
COGconnected	Derek Miller	81 / 100	02-15-2018	The sense of scale, that awe of something you were not expecting to be so grand.	Read review
Cubed3	Ofisil	7 / 10	02-13-2018	As realistic, historically accurate, unrelenting, casual-unfriendly, open-word RPG games go, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is probably the best on offer right now. It's only worthy of the bronze medal, though, as it's very far from perfect, and the amount of flaws at hand mean that this is quite the dirty kind of bronze medal.	Read review
Cultured Vultures	Jimmy Donnellan	7.5 / 10	02-19-2018	Its problems may deter many players and arguably should until it's in a better state, but it's hard to deny that with some more polish and a couple of tweaked systems, Kingdom Come: Deliverance could be one the year's best.	Read review
Daily Mirror	James Ide	4 / 5 stars	02-14-2018	Overall, I found Kingdom Come: Deliverance to be an innovative, breathe of fresh air. It has a different pace to Skyrim but if you don't mind a challenge and can master the skills, it offers a complex and well crafted world with a great story that's not just interesting to history buffs but appeals to all RPG fans.	Read review
DarkZero	Dominic Sheard	7 / 10	03-13-2018	There are incredible things going on in Kingdom Come: Deliverance that it's a shame I have to score it lower than I would like, due to the issues with bugs and glitches that soil the experience.	Read review
Destructoid	Dan Roemer	7.5 / 10	02-20-2018	Warhorse Studios took a big risk with this game and hopefully in the long run the technical issues can be addressed, because as of right now, they prevent Deliverance from reaching greatness. If you can climb over the mountain of jank and poor optimization then you'll be in for an incredibly authentic experience, that when it works, truly puts role-playing front and center in a fabulous way.	Read review
Digiato	Shayan Ziaei	65 / 100	03-07-2018	The rush and hastiness of Deep Silver for releasing Kingdom Come: Deliverance has made one of the most anticipated games of the year into a weak one. Although it's not too late for the devs to fix the game, this would surely affect the upcoming games of Warhorse studios.	Read review
Digital Chumps	Dillon Sweeney	8 / 10	01-20-2017	Kingdom Come Deliverance is a great game that can appeal to many people. A true RPG fan will love this game. KCD is a truly immersive experience where you will lose yourself for hours on end. The open-ended gameplay allows for you to accomplish your goal in a multitude of ways. Combat is not straightforward, and it is hard all while being the best it can be. Players will be able to mold Henry into the medieval character they want to be.	Read review
Digitally Downloaded	Matt Sainsbury	3 / 5 stars	02-20-2018	For every positive thing that Kingdom Come does with its storytelling, setting, and themes, it then lets itself down with childish writing, and then doesn't help itself out by being so ambitious that, even beyond the bugs, the game has structural issues that are difficult to ignore.	Read review
DualShockers	Tomas Franzese	6 / 10	03-05-2018	While I have come out of Kingdom Come: Deliverance somewhat disappointed, Warhorse Studios still did deliver on their original KickStarter promise of creating a realistic RPG unlike any other. While the developers did squeeze as much potential as their studio could out of this concept, to sometimes remarkable results, Kingdom Come: Deliverance may have been a tad too bit ambitious for them on a technical level, and it really shows.	Read review
EGM	Michael Goroff	3.5 / 10	02-21-2018	What could have been an intriguing, unique, if somewhat underwhelming RPG is completely crippled by a terrible save system and game-breaking bugs. Kingdom Come: Deliverance's well-publicized adherence to historical accuracy pays off in its thoughtfully designed landscapes and intriguing combat system, even if its survival-style mechanics fall somewhat flat. It's just a shame that the more positive qualities are doomed to exist within a game that ended up being unplayable.	Read review
Eurogamer	Robert Purchese	Not Recommended	02-20-2018	A focus on history makes this an RPG like no other, but its pleasures can leave a sour taste.	Read review
Expansive	Ray Willmott	6.5 / 10	02-13-2018	Kingdom Come: Deliverance looks, sounds and acts the part but is inherently flawed in so many different ways that it’s very hard to pay attention to its good traits long enough to not to be distracted by the bad.	Read review
Fextralife	Castielle	8.7 / 10	02-13-2018	Kingdom Come Deliverance is a much needed breath of fresh air for the gaming industry, and frankly one that many players will overlook, much the way Demon's Souls originally was. It's challenging, cryptic, vague and there are simply too many questions without answers for the average gamer. However, if you can stay the course and persist through the unknown, understanding that you will get the answers if you carry on, you will find a very special and personal experience that few games offer. Only three games to date have inspired me to pick up a book and actually read about the events of the game I was playing. The first was The Witcher, the second was Nioh and now the third is Kingdom Come Deliverance. Warhorse may not win any awards for this title, but they have established themselves where it matters most, in the hearts of gamers with a solid performance. They have earned themselves a warm following, and I can't wait to see what they do next. Now pardon me good sir, I have to see a bar wench about some ale.	Read review
FingerGuns	Rossko Keniston	6 / 10	02-17-2018	I don't think it's worth picking up yet. If you're the kind of person who isn't all that bothered about tech issues and will happily watch the game you paid £50 for get patched to high heaven than jump in. You'll find a multi-layered story with characters that are engaging and a world that's ripe for exploration where you get to make your own save points out of alcohol.	Read review
Game Debate	Stuart Thomas	8 / 10	03-03-2018	There's so much to love in KLD. It's so close to being wonderful.	Read review
Game Informer	Jeff Marchiafava	5.8 / 10	02-28-2018	Kingdom Come serves up an intriguing personal story and a detailed world worth exploring. However, on a technical level, the game is broken	Read review
Game Revolution	Jason Faulkner	4.5 / 5 stars	02-13-2018	If you want an excellent, open-world RPG that feels like a hardcore version of an Elder Scrolls game, then don't hesitate.	Read review
Game Volt	Moustafa Gad	7 / 10	02-20-2018	Kingdom Come: Deliverance has many distinctive ideas that can really help in the development of the RPG games in a perfect way in the future, but the reliance on just realism does not guarantee success under the fact that video games are an Entertainment industry in the first place, add to that the world has found a huge virtual but near empty, the impact of the first person's perspective is negatively on battles, scenarios and conversations that try to look deep but they are not actually.	Read review
Gameblog	Camille Allard	8 / 10	02-14-2018	Despite its technical issues and many bugs, Kingdom Come Deliverance is an excellent and really unique RPG. Its system reaches depths that has never been seen before, and assumes its diehard historical aspect at the risk of cutting itself off from a big part of the public. Here is a true ode to the European medieval period, and eventually the typical game that you will love or hate with passion.	Read review
GameCrate	David Jagneaux	8.3 / 10	02-13-2018	If you can look past the annoying bugs and obtuse mechanics, Kingdom Come: Deliverance's strong sense of believable, historical realism will undoubtedly cast a spell on anyone that gives the game a chance. This is a must-play for fans of lifestyle simulators and medieval RPGs.	Read review
Gamefa	Mohammad Hossein Bajalan	8 / 10	07-17-2019	Kingdom Come Deliverance is a valuable hardcore game with deep gameplay elements, enjoyable progress system, real and hardcore combat, nice story-telling and characters, amazing graphics and also a beautiful world that takes you to an entertaining journey. There are some problems like technical issues and annoying elements in gameplay, but in the end, Kingdom Come Deliverance is a unique game with many good aspects that you should not miss at all.	Read review
GameGrin	Tyler Schurwan	7 / 10	02-23-2018	Offers up a decent, if predictable, story with interesting characters, beautiful scenery, and ambitious concepts but falls short with numerous glitches, annoying mini-games, and a lack of player immersion.	Read review
GameMAG	Blaze	7 / 10	03-13-2018		Read review
Gameplanet	Ben Allan	Not Recommended	02-18-2018	When it's on song, the game is immersive and intriguing; at other times, it can be deathly dull. It's nice to see an RPG trying to do something a bit different and succeeding in many ways, but KC:D has an unfortunate "hmm, I wish this was Skyrim" vibe that many gamers may find difficult to shake off.	Read review
GamePro	Elena Schulz	76 / 100	02-13-2018	Kingdom Come is complex and difficult to access. However, if you get involved in it, you will experience an incredibly coherent RPG world.	Read review
Gamers Heroes	Captain Camper	4 / 10	02-23-2018	Kingdom Come: Deliverance could have been a wonderful experience. A collection of features and mechanics come together to form something truly inspiring. Sadly it's difficult to notice that with frequent crashes (don't touch the cheese), game-breaking bugs, texture issues, animation woes, AI problems, broken quests, and near pointless mounted combat. Until patches have addressed these problems, I would suggest avoiding the PlayStation 4 version.	Read review
Gamersky	最后的防线	8.6 / 10	02-26-2018	Though there are several annoying glitches, Kingdom Come: Deliverance still can be considered as a masterpiece. It is somewhat like an uncut diamond, which oozes wild but soul-shaking charms.	Read review
GameSkinny	Sergey_3847	7 / 10	02-14-2018	If you like slow and deliberate story development, which is at the heart of this game, then you can safely purchase it after all the bugs get fixed.	Read review
GameSpew	Richard Seagrave	9 / 10	02-13-2018	Kingdom Come: Deliverance is pretty much the game I've been waiting for all my life.	Read review
GameSpot	Brett Todd	8 / 10	02-20-2018	Kingdom Come: Deliverance offers enthralling medieval history alongside demanding systems and troublesome bugs.	Read review
GameWatcher	Marcello Perricone	8 / 10	02-13-2018	A very good and immersive title that suffers from technical issues and some surprisingly misguided design decisions.	Read review
Gaming Nexus	Randy Kalista	9 / 10	02-13-2018	Kingdom Come is a walking simulator merged with an RPG that takes you down a Wikipedia black hole. Accepting its historicity and deciphering its cerebral game systems is like completing a religious rite.	Read review
GamingTrend	Ron Burke	80 / 100	02-13-2018	I've had a lot to say for a game I'm not ready to pass judgement on quite yet, but it's safe to say that I'm absolutely blown away by what Warhorse has put together.	Read review
GBAtemp	Thomas Hugh	5.5 / 10	02-13-2018	From what I did play of Kingdom Come: Deliverance has left me with mixed feelings. I enjoyed the story and wanted to see if Henry became a great Knight and avenged his family, but at the same time, I found myself battling against the game's systems every time it gave me control. Warhorse Studios have created an ambitious world with Kingdom Come: Deliverance, unfortunately, it didn't deliver for me.	Read review
GearNuke	Humad Ali Shah	8 / 10	02-21-2018	Kingdom Come: Deliverance might lack the technical polish of most large scale projects but it certainly doesn't fail to deliver an ambitious and expansive open world RPG.	Read review
Geeks Under Grace	Joe Morgan	8 / 10	03-14-2018	Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a fun open-world game with great characters and an expertly delivered story. It has a few mechanics that may turn players off, but they become manageable with a little effort.	Read review
Generación Xbox	Adrian Fuentes Berna	8.5 / 10	02-26-2018	Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an old-school RPG where everything requires an effort and you will not get anything. Its approach is remarkable, but some design and technical problems do not make it a more complete game.	Read review
God is a Geek	Mick Fraser	6 / 10	02-23-2018	Kingdom Come: Deliverance is vast and ambitious, but won't please everyone no matter how hard it tries.	Read review
GRYOnline.pl	Przemysław Zamęcki	7.5 / 10	02-12-2018	Kingdom Come: Deliverance guarantees excellent fun. It truly is a unique RPG that has all the qualities needed to become a cult classic among the fans of more hardcore games. The world, the story and the urge to explore are superb. Unfortunately, some technical issues and a controversial saving system can taint the overall impression.	Read review
Guardian	Rick Lane	3 / 5 stars	02-15-2018	This lush and dynamic RPG prides itself on the historical accuracy of its recreation of 15th-century feudal Bohemia	Read review
Hardcore Gamer	Jordan Helm	3.5 / 5 stars	02-13-2018	Had the initial forty-to-fifty hour campaign not have 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.	Read review
Heavy	Collin MacGregor	9 / 10	02-13-2018	Kingdom Come: Deliverance is one of the most engrossing and captivating RPGs I've ever played.	Read review
Hobby Consolas	Redacción Hobby Consolas	82 / 100	02-16-2018	Right now, It's not easy to play Kingdom Come: Deliverance because of some technical (on consoles) and gameplay issues, but it also isn't easy to say no to it's unique and ambitious RPG approach. Once you're trapped in this faithful representation of the kingdom of Bohemia, Warhorse's game becomes the ultimate Middle Age simulator.	Read review
IGN	T.J. Hafer	8 / 10	02-17-2018	Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an RPG that does the medieval era right with a refreshingly small-scale story and strong realistic combat.	Read review
IGN Italy	Marco Esposto	7.5 / 10	02-13-2018	Great story and medieval atmosphere, but with some technical problems, like low frame-rate, graphic pop-ups and improvable artificial intelligence.	Read review
IGN Spain	Javi Andrés	7 / 10	02-14-2018	Warhorse Studio has achieved the most realistic and respectful with the History medieval RPG. Kingdom Come Deliverance introduces a lot of good ideas in the genre. But they are not quite well implemented in this gigantic ambitious map. The game needs updates for optimization improvement.	Read review
Impulsegamer	Nathan Misa	4.4 / 5 stars	02-26-2018	Kingdom Come: Deliverance delivers on its ambitious promise for a realistic, grounded open-world medieval role-playing game, with engaging and complex gameplay systems, weighty and tactical combat and an interesting main story slightly let down by a lack of polish and technical issues on launch.	Read review
KeenGamer	Nick Banks	7.5 / 10	03-02-2018	We all have that one bar that we like to go to. The locals don’t like it very much and it’s got its problems but that is “our” bar that we’ve grown fond of. Kingdom Come: Deliverance is the equivalent of that bar for me. It has its problems, some of which would be damned to hell were it any other game. Although there’s a reason you haven’t heard too much bad press about it. It’s incredibly easy to forgive the game of its failings when it offers this much quintessential RPG gameplay and fantastic world design. Warhorse Studios have taken the time to build a snapshot of today’s Czech Republic and wind back the clock on its design all the way to the 15th Century.	Read review
Kotaku	Luke Plunkett	Not Recommended	03-14-2018	I'm not angry at Kingdom Come, I'm just… disappointed. It was touted as this grand historical representation, an abandonment of fantasy for a true medieval setting, a game that would let us live the middle ages. But the game we got is just this busted, inconsistently ambitious RPG that shines in points, but falls apart in most others.	Read review
LevelUp	Luis Sánchez	8.3 / 10	01-01-1970	Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an unusual success story that leaves us with an important message: in this day and age, a large amount of players can —and will enjoy— a complex game that doesn't hold you back. We loved every second: getting lost in Bohemia sprawling forests, riding horseback on green prairies, bleedin in the thick of combat and getting stuck between some odd bushes. Kingdom Come: Deliverance it's a game we can recommend, with caution due its numerous rough edges.	Read review
M3	Andreas Blom	7 / 10	02-17-2018	Kingdom Come: Deliverance is ambitious and deep, but also feels a bit out dated on the technical side.	Read review
Metro GameCentral	GameCentral	7 / 10	02-16-2018	It won't be for everyone, for various reasons, but if nothing else Kingdom Come proves that a role-playing game doesn't have to rely on fantasy to keep you interested.	Read review
MonsterVine	Diego Escala	3.5 / 5 stars	02-16-2018	Despite an abundance of bugs and some minor quibbles, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a fantastic game whose issues can unfortunately be made even worse from a frustratingly atrocious save system.	Read review
New Game Network	Tim Reid	75 / 100	02-25-2018	Kingdom Come: Deliverance deserves a lot of credit for succeeding in its highly ambitious and original realism-driven approach to role-playing game design, though the amount of broken quests and general lack of polish in combination with an ill-conceived save system bring down the experience significantly.	Read review
Nexus	M.A. Ligocki	3 / 10	03-08-2018	Any interest I had in Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Warhorse has defiled and set ablaze in an incredibly shallow grave.	Read review
Niche Gamer	Cody Long	7.5 / 10	02-14-2018	For all its flaws, and there certainly are many, Kingdom Come: Deliverance still provides a gripping, inspired open world, replete with interesting characters, thrilling battles, and gorgeous views. If you can get past your horse occasionally floating into space, and characters appearing without heads here and there, you'll be in for a real treat.	Read review
OnlySP	Richard Flint	3 / 5 stars	02-20-2018	With all said and done, and despite several flaws, Warhorse Studios delivers a fantastic first game and deserves praise for Kingdom Come's successes. The issues currently present in the game are comparable to Bethesda's infamous bugs. However, even before the game's release, the developers were working hard to constantly address feedback given by the community to influence future patches that will hopefully turn Kingdom Come: Deliverance into the great experience fans believe it can be.	Read review
Pardis Game	Seyyed Mehdi Mir Shahdehi	8 / 10	03-13-2018	Kingdom Come is an ambitious game and if it wasn't for its awful save system and bugs and other numerous technical issues, it could've been an incredible game. But as it is, Kingdom Come is a deep role playing game with interesting quests and mostly fine combat. So I suggest it for RPG lovers and people who don't have problem wwith the game's themes and setting	Read review
PC Gamer	Andy Kelly	84 / 100	02-14-2018	Kingdom Come is a seriously satisfying role-playing experience set in a rich, reactive world.	Read review
PCGamesN	Robert Zak	8 / 10	01-31-2018	This is an ambitious game, polished to perfection when it comes to atmosphere, but rough and cumbersome in many of its moment-to-moment interactions.	Read review
PCWorld	Hayden Dingman	Recommended	02-13-2018	For now, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is decidedly niche, and all the better for it.	Read review
Player2.net.au	Paul James	Recommended	03-09-2018	There are a great many things to like about Kingdom Come: Deliverance. The world and environmental design is top tier, and with the support of fantastic voice-acting and combat, that (when fully functioning) plays like no other RPG becomes an enticing package. With ongoing support from the developers, Kingdom Come: Deliverance can quite easily become one of the premiere role-playing experiences and with a setting that few others have tackled will remain an enticing prospect for the months and years to come.	Read review
PlayStation Universe	John-Paul Jones	7.5 / 10	02-15-2018	Kingdom Come Deliverance is a commendably ambitious open world RPG steeped in a real sense of place and grandeur. That said, the experience remains one that is housed inside a beautiful, though imperfect world in which if you can tolerate its shortcomings, you'll find a great deal to do and enjoy.	Read review
PowerUp!	Leo Stevenson	7 / 10	03-04-2018	It’s not perfect by any stretch, but there really is something about it that makes it a game you’ll have a hard time putting down.	Read review
Press Start	James Berich	6 / 10	02-13-2018	Kingdom Come: Deliverance has clearly had a lot of love and effort put into it, but it's unapologetically appealing to a very specific niche. The authenticity and realism is like no other, and that niche is bound to be pulled into its world for hours on end. Unfortunately, this dedication to realism is ironically what really stopped me from immersing myself into the well realised world of Bohemia, which is a huge shame.	Read review
pressakey.com	Daniel Martin	Recommended	03-21-2018	Kingdom Come Deliverance is an exciting RPG with great ambitions that wants to do many things differently, but one that also lacks polish and that got pushed on the market way too early to truly leave a mark in the role-playing genre.	Read review
PS4Blog.net	the_nmac	8.5 / 10	03-16-2018	Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a great game that's almost held back a bit by what makes it so special. I loved the dynamic world and the chase for realism within it, but I didn't like the difficulty spikes that come with it – when you lose a few hours of progress because you haven't saved things can feel quite frustrating. Luckily the team is hard at work and is continuisly improving the game, so your experience with this one will certainly be even better than mine. In the end, it's a great game that is worth playing on PlayStation 4 and which I'm sure wil win several awards this year.	Read review
PSX Brasil	Bruno Henrique Vinhadel	83 / 100	03-07-2018	Kingdom Come: Deliverance delivers a fun and content-rich RPG to be explored. With a challenging combat and an impeccable historical setting, the game relies heavily on its protagonist, exposing the soul of a game that still lacks much attention and technical adjustments.	Read review
Push Square	Glen Fox	7 / 10	02-16-2018	Kingdom Come: Deliverance is very difficult to score because it's more than just the sum of its parts, and the appeal will differ greatly by person. If you absolutely love simulators and really appreciate realism and the little details in games, then this will really grip you. But at the same time, many will find the game far too frustrating and unforgiving, both because of the intense focus on realism that doesn't always result in fun gameplay experiences, and the number of bugs and severe loading times. There's a compelling game here, but it needs a polished edge only a series of patches or a sequel can deliver. We can't wait for either.	Read review
Rock, Paper, Shotgun	Edwin Evans-Thirlwell	Recommended	02-13-2018	The measure of an open world is ultimately not the story it tells but whether you're happy to kill time within it, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance offers plenty of ways to do that, even if a lot of them will, in fact, get you slaughtered.	Read review
RPGamer	Pascal Tekaia	4 / 5 stars	08-04-2018	Sure, it’s not the first game to eschew fantasy and science fiction trappings or feature a historically-accurate setting, but not many have yet done so to such a satisfying end result, not to mention going the open-world route and still succeeding, for the most part, brilliantly.	Read review
SECTOR.sk	Ján Kordoš	9 / 10	02-26-2018	If you look through the bugs, you will see beautiful historical based RPG game with unique charm.	Read review
Shacknews	Charles Singletary	7 / 10	03-03-2018	Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a fantastic and absolutely frustrating experience.	Read review
Sirus Gaming	Jarren Navarrete	5 / 10	02-19-2018	Time and time and again even after frustration I kept going back to give the game a chance. And each time I come out just frustrated. My recommendation? Wait a few months for Warhorse Studios to fix everything before buying it. You’re just gonna be turned away from the game. Even then, be prepared for a massive patch to download.	Read review
Slant Magazine	Jed Pressgrove	1 / 5 stars	02-20-2018	A plethora of technical limitations transform this game's quest for verisimilitude into a kind of farce.	Read review
SomHráč.sk	Martin Černický	75 / 100	02-15-2018	Challenging, unwelcoming, but also rewarding. This is Kingdom Come: Deliverance in a nutshell. Casual gamers won't be enthusiastic about it, but after the technical issues are fixed, the others can enjoy the real experience they've been waiting for.	Read review
SpazioGames	Valentino Cinefra	8 / 10	02-15-2018	Though has some evident flaws, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a very different RPG: great historical accuracy, well crafted combat system, a stunning world, with some brilliant ideas and a few awful Skyrim-esque gameplay flaws.	Read review
TechRaptor	Robert Grosso	6.5 / 10	03-21-2018	I really wanted to like Kingdom Come: Deliverance more than I did, but at the end of the day the conflicting mechanics only compound the technical and narrative flaws the further you get into the game.	Read review
The Games Machine	Mario Baccigalupi	8 / 10	02-13-2018	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.	Read review
TheSixthAxis	Dave Irwin	4 / 10	02-13-2018	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 ambitions 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.	Read review
TheXboxHub	Gareth Brierley	4 / 5 stars	03-14-2018	Kingdom Come: Deliverance delivers a huge, complex world with a host of things to get involved in. The story is well written, brilliantly acted and expertly executed. I am worried that the buggy nature of the game will put many off and whilst the vast majority of the problems shouldn’t worry anyone too much, it can get a tad annoying.	Read review

VideoGamer	Alice Bell	4 / 10	02-20-2018	Kingdom Come: Deliverance has some nice ideas and pretty countryside, but is ultimately still buggy, broken and, perhaps worst of all, boring.	Read review
We Got This Covered	Edward Love	4 / 5 stars	02-26-2018	Kingdom Come's rough edges are smoothed by the knowledge you're playing a game where no detail is too small. Exploring 1400s Bohemia is a sure-fire delight.	Read review

Game Info

Game Description / Storyline:

A first-person, open world, realistic RPG that will take you to the Medieval Europe in a time of upheaval and strife. A humble, young blacksmith loses everything to war. As he tries to fulfill the dying wish of his father, Fate drags him into the thick of a conspiracy to save a kidnapped king and stop a bloody conflict. You will wander the world, fighting as a knight, lurking in the shadows as a rogue, or using the bard’s charm to persuade people to your cause. You will dive deep into a sweeping, epic, nonlinear story from Daniel Vávra, an award-winning designer from the Mafia series. Our unique, first-person combat system lets you wield sword or bow in both one-on-one skirmishes and large-scale battles. All of this – and more – brought to life beautifully with next-gen visuals delivered via CryEngine 3.
