Kingdome Come: Deliverance 30 hours in or so (the gametime played says 24 but thats a lie because of the reloads)
So an open world game that is hailed as a successor to Skyrim.
I will go over by category keeping it short and spoiler free. I will mostly compare it to Skyrim
and Wither 3, two of my favorite open world games.
Note: The game uses a weird saving method where you can only save if you complete objectives in the quests,
sleep in a bed(doesnt always work), or drink a saving potion which you can craft or buy at a vendor.
This is fine later game, but early on is a pain. For that there is a mod which gives you unlimited saves.

1.Story:
The main story is pretty good so far, re-enacting medieval life and politics. Your choices in most mater
influence primarily by one of 3 stats you have which open up dialog options(as well as some professions).
to sum it up, i'd say its somewhere inbetween Skyrim and Witcher 3 imo when it comes to story quality,
although you don't feel as epic as the Dragonborn. You play as a single character, much like Witcher, although
Henri isn't a witcher. Still pretty good character imo.

2.Visuals:
The game looks pretty good. again not as polished as Witcher 3, morel like Skyrim 1.5(a modded Skyrim still
looks better imo). Some areas lack variety polish, especially the bare ground, some animals and foliage. Oh and the rain is terrible especially at night.
The game boasted that each NPC would be different but thats not the case, but the variety in clothing breaks up the patern.
The armor and weapons are very good looking, as well as the aestetics of the towns and cities.
2.1 Character customisation:
Besides gear and injuring yourself you cant customise your character. Oh and bathing helps get the ladies.

3. The World:
Devs says its bigger than Skyrim an maybe it is, but because everything is set in a small part of Bohemia, its
all set in the same theme, there is no winter, dessert area and the like. But it looks nice and vibrant. And its pretty big
As for world content, theres a decent amount. Altough not as well labeled as in Witcher, meaning you wont be exploring
as much besides doing Main and side quests.

4.Sound:
So the sound of nature and armor and movement is alright, but the music is minimal. This is escpecially noticable
when visiting inns, since there are no bards who would sing and play instruments.

5.Combat:
So this is what spoiled the game for me alongside some quest which ill mention later. The combat system is pretty unique
but not so. It uses a lock on mode where when you swing a weapon you can chose which direction out of 5 it comes from,
thus being able to aim at different body parts of your oponent. There is also a stab which just stabs forward, but is
quicker than a regular swing. You can dodge an atack by moving at the start of a enemies swings or just
block with your shield. The timming for those is pretty small. Block also blocks nomather which direction, but is
very intensive on stamina. Thus the 1v1 combat is pretty good, those who master the combo system (yes there are combos)
will like it, and its very rewarding for skilled players. Now thats all good and well until you face mutliple oponents.
The lock-on system freaks out and there isn't a very good way to lock-out and swing frelly besides using a bow(bow is just like Skyrim, bit less acurate
and less mana intensive, and no crossaire, but theres a mod for that).Meaning when you fight multiple oponents its a pain,
especially if they have pretty good armor and shielts, thus blocking most of your damage, draging the fight on, and
having yourself surounded and wrecked. There are 3 damage types and different armors block different damages, thus having you have
at least a slashing and bluedogoning weapon is recomended. The combat in general feels slow, sometimes slugish,
but also because of the combo system, you can get wrecked by the AI, who early on are mostly better skilled than you.
Again fighting multiple oponents is supposed to be hard, but the lock on thing makes it super annoying. Add buggy encounters
and its just dalghdalghdlag, making kiting them with a bow the way to go. If you dont get oneshot early. And you can get
oneshot if you take a blow to the head. Or an arrow to the head. Arrows hurt. Alot.
The bow is pretty good in general, most of the time in larger fights i've been using that, but you are dependent on using
higher quality amunition to penetrate the well armored oponents.
5.0.a: you can apply poisons to weapons.
5.0.b: there are only 3 different melee weapon variatns. Sword, Axe, Mace, each with its own subsets, and each unique
5.1 Stealth:
The Stealth system is pretty basic. Your stealth is affected by level, noise your armor makes, and the color of armor.
Meaning a leather, black armor is stealthier than a shiny maill armor. Some NPCs are more "experienced" than others, and
can detect you lockpicking and sneaking better. Lockpicking is alright, pickpocketing is rng bassed and annoying, and
i havent really bothered with(most of the time i can just knockout an NPC and loot him/her).
But overall the stealth is a viable playstile. Sorta. You can't really decimate entire camps without being detected.
You can't turn torches off and on, aswell as other light sorces, but most of the time its not needed.

5.2.Heath, stamina, nourishment and cleanliness:
The health and stamina system is nice, reminding me of a Skyrim mod in which you could injure different body parts,
having adverse effects on your character, and there is also bleeding. You can't heal during combat, only aftewards
using potions, bandages to stop bleeding, and resting. You will be resting a lot. Which is nice but the blandess of the inss
kinda ruins the Inn experience. Stamina is very much Skyrim, much faster on the regeneration part during combat,
but when you do run out of stamina you can get wrecked. Weight also affects usage of said stamina.
When you take health damage your maximum amount of stamina decreases aswell, thus you need to rest and heal.
There is also nourishment which decreasses over time and can be raised by eating.
Also being clean makes people respect you more. I guess. And the dogs wont notice you as much?

6. Skills:
So you have alchemy, to make your own potions and its pretty fun im, combined with herbalism where you gather herbs
. You cant mass produce stuff, instead you havea recipe book and using a sort of gimicky minigame make a potion. Herbalism
is alright except there is a gathering animation, meaning you spend 3 seconds picking a flower. Each time. But at leats
the cost of herbs per recipe is pretty low, and they are cheap so you can just buy them. Definetly worth making your own
potions, because while herbs are cheap, potions are not. The same goes fore repairing your own stuff. You cant craft weapons
or armor, you can only loot or buy it. But you can repair it and save a ton of gold that way. Because stuff breaks pretty
quickly, maintaing gear can be costly. There is also reading, which involves you reading all the books in the kingdom,
and using certain books to incerease your skill in various areas. Hunting is also an activity you can do,
although theres not that much of a variety of game, and the animals themselves are pretty boring to hunt. But it can make
a decent amount of gold early on. Drinking is also a thing. It makes you less drunk when drinking potions, and allowes you
to drink more potions at once (similar to the Witchers tonics system).
Speech is alto a thing when interacting with characters, unlocking dialog options, and choices in the quests.

7. Horses:
They are pretty good, much like Skyrim, they can carry stuff, and you can trade them for different stats. Speed, carrying
capacity, HP, and courage when in combat. Although mounted combat is terrible, the bow being sorta usable.

8. THE CODEX:
Is just that the Codex. Its nice if you like reading about the historical characters of that time period, aswell as
traditions and just in general history and society.

9. The Quests and missions:
So this is also a big issue i have with the game. Early missions and quests are well paces and balanced around you being
terrible. Quests in general arent remarkable in creativity. Kill that, fetch this and so fort. They are pretty vague
when giving you a guide as what to do, but most of the time its fine. Most of the time. But as the game goes on, it becomes
more vague and vaguer, and the general quality of quests falls of in terms of buggines and polish. Its later that you
encounter quests where you don't know what you did wrong. and that people who you never encountered hate you. And
thats where i almost quit the game. Later quality of quests is terrible, with a few being very buggy, sometimes incompletable
without at least a few reloads and hoping it fixes itself next time.

10. Voiceacting:
I played with english voiceovers and it was pretty good, there are a few suspicious voices that dont belong but overall its good.

11. Animation:
Is also good, similar to SKyrim. Yes the horse can go up a vertical hill. Almost. It kinda goes weird when there are a bunch of
NPCs fighitng, because they are all locking on and off and just weird.

12. Performance:
So the game ran fine for the most part, and then in the later parts i've been encountering popin, and loading time increases.
Bunch of options in the menu aswell as a FOV slider.

13. UI:
The UI and menues are nice looking and straightforward. The aiming reticule when fighitng with a melee weapon is a bit small imo
and can make blocking and aming a bit harder.

14. Controls:
This game was obviously meant to be played with a controler. The 5 arrow combat reticule is weird to use with a mouse,
so a gamepead is recomended. Its still perfectly playable with a mouse and keyboard, you will just lack the finese
in certain situations like sharpening your weapon, or trying to combo.

Vertict:
Kingdome Come: Deliverance is a diamond in the rough. A potential to be a moders dream,it has a solid base. The cluncky combat
when fighing multiple oponents, buggy quests later on, and the lack of Bards (seriously, no bards) make it not great.
For now i think waiting for patches, mods, and the like is the way to go.
