Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Wonderful game. Got the royal edition on a steam sale for 12.00, and originally hated it, downloaded it, died about 30 times in the first 10 minutes of the game and deleted it considering it a wasted 12 dollars. A few months later i looked into it and found that you're supposed to be inept in the beginning and that you gradually get better as your character learns more moves. You may know what to do in a fight, but Henry is a Blacksmith's son, he doesn't. You arent special, or born to be great, you're a nobody.
Redownloaded and took my time to learn gameplay and practicing skills. Love it, the realism to the learning curve of combat and subtle additions like "learning to read." Great game, I highly recommend it.

warhorse studios with bethesda money would be unstoppable

It turns out, I wouldn't survive for long in the middle ages.

I could master a sword and end up being shot by a crossbow according to father. That was a lie because no one had a single crossbow in the entire game.

For the love of god please make a sequel. Save us from the mediocrity of Hodd Toward.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is, without a doubt, *the* definitive middle-ages "life simulator".
It is, without exaggeration, brutally difficult, unforgiving, and amazingly educational, all at the same time.
A tremendous attention to detail has been paid, at basically every level, and one of the most entertaining aspects of the game is the "Lore" which you unlock as you progress: True and accurate historical information about the area, environment, way of life, and more. The entire game is a history lesson, disguised as a brutally difficult RPG.
When I say brutally difficult, I absolutely mean brutally difficult: The combat system is insanely difficult to use, and will lead to a lot of frustration, however it's also well executed: the battles are crunchy, and you will definitely die - a lot.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance has a very dense "choices matter" role-playing system, and the game will progress wildly differently depending on which path you take.
This game is not without its flaws, however I think those can be overlooked when considering the over-all achievement.
Two thumbs up!

The problem people have with this game is it being too hard at the start, well of course you start as a village boy.
You wouldn't know how to use a sword or a bow, you wouldn't know how to read or even be very smart.
That is how this game starts, you are USELESS AT EVERYTHING.
You have to get better in both your actual skill at the game and getting your character to level up in skills.
Yes the start is ROUGH but it just adds to the realism.
