Kingdom Come: Deliverance

I'm not sure I've ever seen a more detailed, to scale gameworld, from the towns and castles, a fully implemented monastery, to the surrounding countryside. For some reason I was especially impressed with the verticality of the landscape, most games make it very obvious that the level editors start out with a flat plane. Maybe it's because it's modeled on real life Bohemia, and they used actual geo data.. And I definitely agree with going Hardcore mode, it's so much better for exploration. It's not even that vast area-wise, but it's insanely detailed and realistic. I've actually gotten completely lost in the woods in that game. I found remote locations only by following directions, and even then I sometimes had to visually triangulate landmarks to find it. It's so rare for a game to have out-of-the-way places that I'd *never* stumble upon accidentally. I also find it visually gorgeous, and while the overall plot is nothing special on paper, the execution is exceptional IMO and - again - very detailed, grounded, and (as much as I dislike the word, but it's appropriate here) very immersive, yeah. For me, the only game that rivals the believable voice-acting, animation, and overall production values, is The Witcher 3. Also, last but not least, quite good roleplay opportunities and choices & consequences. Highly recommended!

At first, I thought that this game would be a rip of off Skyrim. I was wrong. Amazing open world game. I have an amazing computer that has handled things like Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon, Arma, and Clancy's division 2. This game is lagy-er. That just goes to prove how much development and pure vastness this game has. AMAZING combat, my dream sword fighting game. I have talked to my friends about wishing there was a game out there where you picked the direction that you sliced from, are able to stab, and most of all able be able to block. You can do ALL that, and more. Lastly, this game submerses you into a realistic storyline with real events, meaning you are practically living in the past, seeing things from perspectives you've never had. In short, great (never though I would say this) interesting history lesson. I, being 13, know WAY more about the mid-evil times than I ever have before. Even teaches a thing or two about the geography of that area. Overall, I find this a great way to waste your time every day. ;)
