Amazing game, such fun. Devs have done a great job continuing to support it over the past years (so excited the recently added cross-platform multiplayer). Tons of fun to play as killer.

Great game, super addicting (time just flies by). They've been consistent with updates and support. Good premise and execution.

Bought this game because everyone said it was good, hated the look of the people, they didn't have any of the animals that I wanted (really, no hedgehog?), so I started playing after work and I blinked and suddenly it's past 2AM and I have 9 hours logged in this game. I don't know what happened, I literally only have peahens and this stole my whole weekend. Can I get my weekend back or some more funky animals plz?

I was very excited for this game after watching the trailer, the premise looked amazing and when I got it that part of it did not disapoint. Yes, it is a Holmes-esque plot with a Telltale Games style of gameplay. They promised deep interconnecting plotlines where small decisions made large impacts but I saw no such impacts and the challanges (their "combat through dialogue" system) were all facile. While there were some choices that lead to slightly different outcomes, there were just as many that had no impact on anything.

I can confirm that yes, as other reviews have mentioned, the voice acting of the main character is of very low quality, and the movement controls are poor. You end up having to increase your mouse sensitivity dramatically to traverse the map and then this can make certain menus and conversations impossible to complete (many are timed and require fine dexterity of mouse movement).

There are also some audio and visual bugs (music/ambient FX blasting over dialogue, etc.) and this is made worse by the lack of any kind of graphics options (or options whatsoever, aside from some audio settings and a checkbox for subtitles). The graphics quality overall varies, obviously the textures and maps have a great deal of work put into them, the style and feel of the scenes works IMHO, but the character models don't live up to the quality standards set up by the rest of the game.

The worst part overall is that while this game costs $30, it's only 20% of a game. You complete what essentially feels like a tutorial level, you explore as far as it will let you (it's highly linear in terms of what rooms you can access and when), and all of a sudden it says that you've finished Part 1 and you must go buy the other 4 parts. I can't speak for all gamers, obviously some people seem to like it, but I find it hard to believe that people would consider $30 for two or so hours of gameplay anything other then a horrible deal.

Based on the trailer and description, I figured this game would be very replayable but A) since the theme is so set on mysteries and learning character traits, you'd have an immense advantage the next time and B) there's no skipping of any kind during cutscenes. If I were to play this whole "Part 1" again it would take me the same time as before and force me to rewatch most of the same things. That's no fun.

Perhaps after they release the full game my opinion may change, but who knows how long that will take? There's no reason to pay for this game until it's actually complete.

I think this game and this system and this genre overall has huge potential, and I don't doubt that this game can aspire to it, but it certainly hasn't reached it at the moment, and isn't worth $30 in its current state. Overall it would seem vastly more appropriate as an Early Access game then a full release, especially considering it is only 20% of a game.

Great idea and great implimentation of an RPG with a greater dedication to realism then any other. Sure there are bugs and other minute problems, but overall this is a great game following in the footstems of the Elder Scrolls and Fallout series. While there are many differences between those titles and Kingdom Come, the most notable differences that I've found are: skill based combat system, the level progression system, and the solid level of progression that the story provides. You wouldn't truely appreciate a horse unless you had been walking and running and getting exhausted for several hours. Great game, I'd reccomend it to anyone who's looking for an open-world RPG.

Oh my goodness, I can't believe I'm having this much fun in an early access game. Crytek has taken a fantastic concept and executed it extremely well. Sure there are some early problems like the server cap and a few minor engine or graphics bugs, but overall, this game plays very well. So far I've been matched with a wide variety of players and I've yet to find someone who is toxic or who team kills intentionally.

Watching gameplay videos was misleading before this, I figured it'd be all about jump scares and long stretches of bordom. That couldn't have been further from the truth. The "horror" aspect of this game is the massive amount of tension it creates in the players, as danger could come from any angle at any time. You're playing against time, the zombies, the boss, and the other players, and if you ignore a single one of those, you'll likely end up dead. I can't say I'm a massive fan of the permadeath system, or the cash system, but despite all the reservations I came into this game with, I'm glad to say it was a terrific purchase and I can't wait to see what the devs come up with in the future.

This game does not work at all unless you have a controller. Even if you are lucky enough to figure out that a keyboard's Z is analogous to a controller's A button, you still can't play the game with just a keyboard and mouse. As soon as you try to enter a game mode, it says "Connect a Controller" and from there you're stuck. It doesn't say anywhere that this is not playable on a regular PC and is pretty much a rip off for that reason. There are also a good number of crashes that happen.

Very terrible experience. Absolutely unplayable for half a day after it came out because of the traditionally terrible Ubisoft servers. When you finally get in the game, bugs are all over the place, and only around 1/12th of Manhattan is actually playable (and it doesn't appear as if you can physically go anywhere else). The application crashes when you try to invite friends to play with you (multiple times). Other times just launching the app fails completely and leads to music on a black screen with CTRL-ALT-DEL and ALT-F4 doing nothing whatsoever making it completely unplayable. Missions are unstartable for no reason. You get one-shot doing the initial, base-level missions. The beta was so much better then this. I should have expected this after what they did to Rainbow Six: Seige

Playing this game is the same experience as going to watch a one-man-show starring Al Pacino and being the only one in the audience, being talked directly to by the narrator. Playing it you'll recieve chills, chills of suspense, chills of darkness and tension, and massive chills of realization. It feels like the narrator is going through the experiences with you, you take the journey togther. This game is an apology letter to anyone who's ever wrecked an incredibly meaningful relationship, soiled someone's innocence, or who lives vicariously through others.
Overall, just an incredible follow-up to Parable, the modality of "narrative video game" is one that has limitless potential and is so under represented by modern gaming culture. The feel of the game starts off in an incredibally comfertable place, the narrator's voice putting you at ease, and by the end you are so far from that starting point that you're state of mind has changed as well.
Best played with no lights on, high quality speakers turned loud, and in one sitting.

They called this a 'counterpart to Space Engineers' yet while SE runs well on my computer, this game continuously fails to launch citing an 'application error' found in a nonexistant log. After reinstalling it multiple times and continuously trying to start the applicatoin (with multiple computer restarts in the interum), there remains absolutely nothing that works about this for me, since it refuses to launch. And FYI: Yes I've restarted, yes I've reinstalled, yes I exceed the hardware requirements, etc.etc.etc. There is nothing I haven't done, this game simply does not work at all.
