Kingdom Come: Deliverance attempts to shake up the Western RPG by shedding familiar fantasy tropes and focusing on realistic mechanics and historical events.
My only real complaints against the game are that it's short, and there's not much to do as far as deep combat or customization go. But clearly that's neither the intent nor desire of Jotun, and that's cool. It's a wonderful, dazzling little world Thunder Lotus created, and you just might learn something while you're playing. May you die with honour, sons and daughters of Odin.

These kinds of games are essentially love-letters to the OGs of the genre, and that sense of affection and praise is evident in the care that went into crafting Death's Gambit, and I would love to see this game become as polished as it deserves to be.
A unique and creative horror game filled with boring puzzles and clunky combat
