Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Kingdom Come: Deliverance was released in 2018 by Czech developer company Warhorse. I liked that game back then but for some reason, I haven't completed it. 5 years later, in the beginning of 2023, I did it and I got a lot of joy while doing it.
The game focuses on realistic medieval and historical events that make the 15th century of Europe come to life. The game takes place in the Kingdom of Bohemia, part of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown and the modern-day Czech Republic. It is set in an open-world environment and uses a classless system. You play as Henry, a peasant son of a well-known blacksmith who undertakes a journey of revenge, and you're able to customize his abilities to create a character that fits closer to your preferred gameplay style. Skills and progress will depend on the choices players make during the branched dialog trees. The game features non-linear storytelling, advanced reputation and law system, skill-based mini-games, large scale battles, and sieges. A living and breathing world with emergent gameplay, sophisticated, well made, complex, and challenging combat mechanics and character as well as clothing customization.
Screenshots look super wide-screen just because most of them were taken during cut-scenes. I've cropped black parts off from those and also from the rest for consistency.
