If you are tired of saving the world with magic wands and laser guns, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is exactly the breath of fresh medieval air you need. Instead of playing as a legendary chosen one, you are just a regular guy trying to survive in a brutally realistic 15th-century Bohemia. It easily stands out among other PC Games because it completely ditches fantasy elements like dragons, elves, or spells. Instead, it gives you a grounded, muddy, and super authentic historical adventure where your biggest early-game threat might just be a couple of angry bandits or an empty stomach.

Storyline

You step into the shoes of Henry, a humble blacksmith's son living a lazy but peaceful life until his village is completely wiped out by an invading mercenary army. After narrowly escaping the slaughter and helplessly watching his parents die, Henry sets out on a deeply personal quest for revenge. However, this isn't a typical hero's journey where you instantly become an overpowered warrior. You start from the absolute bottom, getting swept up in a massive civil war filled with political intrigue, rebellious lords, and backstabbing nobles as you try to honor your family and reclaim your father’s stolen sword.

Gaming experience

Playing this game is wonderfully challenging and deeply immersive. You have to literally learn how to do everything in this world—from reading books to throwing a proper punch. The first-person melee combat is incredibly tactical; you can't just mash buttons to win. You need to watch your stamina, perfectly time your parries, and angle your swings at your opponent's weak spots. On top of that, you have to manage your hunger, get enough sleep, and even wash your clothes if you want townspeople to take you seriously. It’s a slow-burn RPG that heavily rewards patience, offering a uniquely satisfying experience that pulls you straight into the Middle Ages.
