Kingdom Come: Deliverance (Feb. 13)
Best PS4 Games to Have on Your Radar in February 2018
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an RPG of a different breed. Instead of the big open world fantasy games like Witcher and Skyrim, Kingdom Come grounds itself in history, specifically the Kingdom of Bohemia in 1403. The game is dedicated to its historical accuracy, striving to meet it while implementing an idea of realism as well.
These ideas translate directly to gameplay through things like an equipment system with 16 different slots for each piece of armor, or the need to sleep and eat to keep your character alive. Everything from the way a helmet restricts your view to the weight of weapons affecting their damage, adds to the historical accuracy of the game. In Kingdom Come the Kingdom of Bohemia has fallen into civil war. You play as Henry, the son of a blacksmith and sole survivor after his village was pillaged by mercenaries under orders from King Sigsimund.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance looks like it could scratch that open world RPG itch, while also introducing some interesting new ideas.
