Right: Incredible Visuals
While its character animations leave a lot to be desired, Kingdom Come: Deliverance’s environments are absolutely stunning. Every town and village is scaled perfectly, giving them a real lived-in quality. The forests are some of the best in gaming, evoking a dreamlike quality by playing with sunlight and shadow. Ultimately it’s the little details which culminate to make Bohemia such a compelling world to be in.
Mud and grime accumulate at the village walls, footpaths cut through the overgrown woodland which make up much of the world, and small ponds glisten with life. The game has an authentic, beautiful ugliness to it, perfectly portraying life in The Holy Roman Empire. It’s impressive that a game devoid of magic, dragons, and all of the things its peers boast can still be this interesting to play, and while there are a few visual bugs in the current build, it is a visual gem nonetheless.
