Well, the “Henry age thing” is kind of a doozy. Technically it was confirmed to be 27, but at the same time, people in the game constantly regard him as a child/teenager and he is the same age as Hans Capon, who is a teenager that is unable to actually rule because he’s too young

The Hans bromance was epic. You really are lead down this path that makes you think you'll become bitter rivals, but then he turns out to be one of your best friends. It was great to see that twist.

@@incurableromantic4006 Reminds me of a scene from Boardwalk Empire when Meyer Lansky is telling the story about how he met Charlie Luchiano. As a kid, Charlie and his friends would rob him of his lunch money and beat him up, but Meyer would never stand down and give up without a fight. After a few times of that happening, Charlie invited him to join his gang. May or may not be based on a true story, though. As for the game, I don't really remember. It's mostly the sentiment that matters. Two unlikely friends is a better story than rivals, imo.

I like how brutal KCD is towards the player at times. Me and a friend of mine was discussing our playthroughs and instead of typical "yeah, i sided with X faction, kicked the Y faction's ass and got the bittersweet ending" we were talking about how we fucked things up in many different ways because our Henry wasn't really that competent or the quest was secretly on a timer.

The best part about this game is that it is based on real historical events. The noblemen are based on people who really existed, the mine was real, the Cumans really swept through the land, the villages and castles were real places of which some are still there today. It's kinda surreal to play countless hours of this game and then to watch a youtube video of somebody exploring current day Rattay, obviously not the same but oddly familiar.

It has a lot of good stuff but unfortunately it is just insulting as a game. Not every gamer is 15 years old with boatloads of free time, and the game's only true issue (i.e. isn't tied to actually learning its complex mechanics) is the saving system. It is fucking awful to lose hours of progress in what still is a glitchy, janky jewel made with genuine care and love. On PC you can get around it but on console you are fucked and the 30 FPS blurry image won't help either. Massive shame as this game deserved better accessibility and if you have kids or a full-time job don't even think about buying this game and completing it in less than a year.

I just love how alive and authentic the world around you feels. When you play it as a scoundrel - stealing, murdering, etc, NPCs will absolutely hate you. But if you put in the work, people will greet you on the streets, merchants will give you discount... your playstyle really matters a lot and very few things are predetermined.

This might very well be the first RPG that did the Medieval times right and stayed as close to history as possible. It's a gem with an amazing lvl of detail. I hope we get the sequel next year. The combat really encapsulates what being a peasant with no fighting experience is like in those time and how deadly combat in general is. And fighting multiple enemies is also done well in terms of realism. Enemies would try to surround you and you would "backpaddle" to prevent that. You'd probably also take out the weaker enemies first and quicky.

Hardcore is such an interesting way to play. There IS a map, it's the same map, but there is just no 'you are here' icon so you actually have to learn the landscape. It's somehow even more immersive.

A KCD NEON KNIGHT VIDEO????? SIGN ME UP A MILLION TIMES! Time to watch, rewatch and re-rewatch because I love em BOTH!

One of the best games of my life for me too. When I watched your assassins creed mirage video where I saw you roasting the game completely when EVERY single video game journalists are giving it good grades, I told myself " I have to check this guy's channel" and now I watch this. Man we have the same vision of what a good game is. After 5 years i'm still completely in love with this game even though I havent returned to it since my first playthrough and i havent done the dlcs. It is just part of my memories and I remember it as if it actually happened, in an other life... This game feels REAL. The kind of immersion I had with RDR2 but even better. I hope you will review more games in the future because I will definitely follow your recommendations 😁

I think one specific thing thats especially praiseworthy was the alchemy system. Maybe not complex in execution, but its nice seeing Henry doing everything manually and every procedure having a different animation

Thanks for putting a spotlight on one of my favorite games of all time. As a history lover, I never played a more immersive Knight simulator that gave me the feeling and thrill of playing Oblivion for the first time all over again. I really hope they make a sequel.

I wonder if my game's bugged cause I never hear that phrase, after Skalitz. I've got 100 reputation in places like Skalitz and Neuhof but no one's ever that pleased to see my Henry. Playing on PS4. Anyone else have the same issues or something I'm missing?

this game is a masterpiece, the atmosphere and immersion is just unmatch

The woods were fucking amazing. Best woods in any game I've played.

When I first got this game, I had some pretty dated equipment in my PC that struggled to even run it on low. So with that, I shelved it. Then i forgot about it until I saw your video. Looks like it's time to get my Henry on, because it looks like a blast.

I never played similar game before and I was struggling with controls so when I've met first person in burned skalitz and he killed me I was so scared after that I was stealthing everywhere the first half of the whole game 😂 I will never forget how scared I was of the unknown the map wasn't visible yet and I had no idea what to expect and I didn't know if everybody was an enemy. I was travelling on rivers and streams away from roads so scared. looking back it's so funny to me 😂 and the OP Henry at the end 😂

I played this game about 5 times to complition and every time my favourite part is the learning curve. I stay in rattay, train in the morning, then sleep for a few hours, wake up in the middle of the night and train in lockpicking and stealth by robbing the entire town blind. I repeat this rutine for about 2 in game weeks, it's super relaxing and I have so much fun just living as a training Henry. By the end of those two weeks I have some of the best weapons and armour in the game and I'm great with a longsword.

I had written a ginormous text about this video and this game. But KZread closed the text area and deleted it. So I'll rewrite it shortly: So, in short, I loved the way this video always surprised me by pointing out stuff I sure thought no one had noticed/cared about! It describes the mixed bag of great experiences this game brings. I hope this helps you to make more great reviews that we can share with our friends and get them to play amazing games like this one. I'm excited to see where this channel is heading, and that review to whatever Warhorse Studios does next!

Imperfect game, great experience!

I remember playing this game during pandemic and it was so fun. It has the same economic problem as the witcher 3 tho. All the best equipment is found and there is nothing to spend money on except repairing that equipment. Also that sword that deals like 90 damage from spiking your opponents is too insane (the swing on it is only like 60). The spammer tactics go wroom

Especially on hardcore you cannot or shouldn’t just wait until you find adequate equipment. And of course you want a really good, fully equipped horse. Then you need a lot of money to repair and build up your own town. Etc..

I encourage you to play in hardcore mode, I did it on my third playthrough and it was great. When you've been playing for several hours you perfect the combat so much that it becomes overly satisfying, which in turn doesn't make it tedious to not be able to use fast travel because you want encounters on your travels. And it's always great to have the negative perk of Somnambulant, waking up in the middle of a forest in the middle of the night and having to figure out where you are.

The villages/castle/woods feel so natural because theyc are modeled almost as replicas of the real world based on historical maps, documents and todays world. You can come to 2024 Skalitz (Skalice) and surrounding area in Bohemia (latin for Čechy, now part of the Czech republic) and see that it looks almost identical, just 600 years apart. Obviously some buildings are in ruins, most have been rebuild/renovated in newer styles such as renaissance, baroque, etc and castles were rebuild into chateaus over the years. Some buildings are still (in part) identical to this day. Mostly churches, but bell towers and foundations of former castle complexes turned chateaus are still the same most of the time. The landscape is still the same though. Ive read that people who played this game and came to visit the sights were able to navigate themselves there.

I agree so much with your opinions regarding the DLCs. As a City Builder fan, I was expecting so much more for From the Ashes. As a practicing Catholic, Johanka's story had so much theological nuance that resonated with me.

It is crazy how good this game looks even from todays standards and I can't wait to see the development team roll of a sequel.

Can confirm If you start From the Ashes as soon as the bandits are kicked out it's a good reason to explore some of the smaller towns to get the supplies you need, it puts a bit more of a time crunch on getting the place up and running if you don't have endless wealth because it costs money at the beginning, and once it is running, it's a good way to produce that endless supply of wealth as you move to the mid game and actually need money some times for new gear, repairs, a new horse maybe (sorry pebbles), and buying gifts for Theresa after you ride all the way back down to Rattay. My first Henry spends his days before going with Hans Capon riding between Pribislavitz, Skalitz, and Rattay killing Cumans and bandits and collecting gear to sell in Rattay cause he's a vigilante (read: Murder Hobo).

You should be basically mega-rich by the time you hit that questline. Unless you arent loading your horse full of the expensive stuff and selling it off after battles. Money in this game is a bit too easy. If you kill all the cumans leaving Skalitz youll net about 10k groschen from their gear. Ive seen people push it much harder though and leave skalitz with 50-100k. The main quest seems rushed but this game really does reward exploration and trying different things. Ive also never bought gear. All the best gear if found came from looting. Other than swords its rare to see the truly high end stuff in shops. Killing everyone durring the Pribislavitz scouting mission is another huge money making opportunity. Not very hard to pull off either. Pick off a couple at a time from horse back until theyre thin enough to just murder all of them. Haul the gear back before finishing the quest so the bodies dont disappear. You probably wont be able to fit it all in one go.

I enjoyed it a lot. My main issue was for a "historically accurate game" it was riddled with historical inaccuracies - especially regarding armour and weapon combos, bows on peoples backs and the archery itself (the worst part of combat).

KCD is undoubtedly one of the greatest games ever made. It is a mind-blowing achievement by Daniel Vavra and his team, bringing to life in an accessible manner some fascinating aspects of medieval life. I played it briefly at launch and boy was it janky, but even then it was incredibly charming. After a few patches, it came together really quite quickly to become as polished as you'd want it to be (you've gotta have some fun bugs here and there). I'm currently on my 3rd playthrough (1st on PC, after a 2- or 3-year hiatus), and it's just everything I could want in a game. Diablo 4 can wait (indefinitely); Starfield can wait; I'm gonna finish this again first. And I can't wait to see what Warhorse brings us next.

The presentation deserves a special mention I think. IMHO this game is the closest we've ever been to actual time travel.

5 years older than Starfield, 50 times less budget, infinitely better characters, story, world... and it even looks better. Not 16 times the detail but still....

I am BEGGING for the next setting (After Bohemia) for KCD to be France with the PC being Jeanne D'Arc you have NO IDEA how much I want this.

When I played this game for the first time, it brought back to a time when I was a kid and video games just seemed…better. I kept feeling this familiar feeling as well like I’d played this game before. A game with the same charm and style and soundtrack and then it hit me today. This game reminds me so much of oblivion. It also gives me that feeling I had playing my first RPGs as a kid. It just throws you out into the world and says “alright figure it out” and it’s super satisfying when you get to a point of being semi competent. It’s really become one of my favorites of all time.

I can't say enough how much I want this story to continue right where it left off. It felt so frustrating that you never get to complete the two big quests before the game just ends. I loved the actors performances. I'd like to see this story completed before any of them become unavailable.

This is a great game and it definitely deserves a sequel!

Doing a drunk sermon the morning after a night out with Father Godwin was one of the funniest moments in gaming for me. If you look at the trophies for that mission, it's a shame how many players have missed it.

I absolutely loved this game. Henry being terrible at everything the start was one of the best features as it means you need to put effort in to getting any better. I really hope a sequel comes out in the future.

Dealing with many enemies usually worked with the same cheese. Break lock on and than make a sprint forward attack. Enemies usually don't react to it. Blunt weapons make it easy to stun and knockout enemies which carried me. No matter how much have I actually tried to do otherwise, it was just annoying to deal with. 1 v 1 is fun sure.

easily one of the best, most immersive games I have ever played.

I love this game so much that I have never completed it. I'm just waiting for the best period in my life to add a magnificent cherry on the cake in the form of Kingdom Come. Avoiding spoilers for almost 4 years is incredibly hard...

not really a spoiler but the story doesn't actually have an ending, because the true ending will be in the sequel, Kingdom come: retribution

I just binged the witcher 3 again. As i did i binged your witcher 3 vids. Now im jumping back into KCD and im about to binge your KCD vids. Thanks man.

One of my problems with From the Ashes was that it's so expensive to properly complete the village (church and everything) that by the time it's finished, you've clearly found a way to make enough money to never have to be bothered about the income the village gives you. I only ever really used Pribyslavitz as a sort of 'home base' where I could return to after a mission. Even that was a little inconvenient though, because it's so far to the edge of the map, and the path there isn't exactly the most obvious, I wish expanding the roads was one of the things you could have built. Plus, I'd very much have liked to customise the rathaus a little, since I'm using it as a home base, it would be nice to really make it 'home'. Maybe they could have had a catalogue of sorts with Marius, and after a few days, your furniture or whatever would arrive. Idk, I'd have liked a little more customisation.

This game is so amazing and there is nothing like it. You could truly get lost in the world then even go further to take a vacation and visit the actual real life locations! KCD 2 will be an instant buy !

I did that this year. In the Sasau monastery they even have game screenshots to show what the interiors used to look like!

I absolutely loved this game. It's super rewarding when you figure stuff out and ruthlessly painful if you try to skip learning the game (especially combat). Can't wait for the sequel.

One of the few bugs I found was when there was a pilgrim on the road - it was a trap but after calling the bandits she said to me “oh hi henry!”

omg i dont know that the quest line with theresa was a dlc thing . i got in too after the training with hans and i was so frustratet and dont know whats going on now . i was in the quest line 6 or 7 hours and this was brutal hard for me . on the point she needs to escape the house and run for the bandits and reach for the tunnel or mine I wanted to give up then because it was so hard to get there . after this i loot so many things and got so much gold with her and so good equipment with her all to find out its lost at the and of the quest . SOO frustrating 😢

So glad to see you doing a video on this game. I just started a playthrough on Hardcore mode and having this pop up in my recommended was just perfect timing.

It's an absolute masterpiece. At first, I had a lot of trouble with crashes, but started a new game like a year later and it went without a problem (probably was patched). It has one of the hardest combats I've played. A game where you really have to think before attacking a group alone. The freedom and how the choices make real differences are great. Also it's a game that let's you think outside of the box to solve things and has some really humorous moments too.

7:57 It was kind of the opposite for me in one case. I was doing the Nest of Vipers quest where I had to scout out a camp, possibly sabotage it and run back to inform Radzig. I spent quite a while trying to stealth it, but always getting caught when trying to poison one of the pots, until I lost all patience and just decided to kill everyone in the camp. No one can notice, if there’s nobody to notice.

I bought this game several years before I actually dug into it. It was so difficult for me at first but I love Medieval stuff so much I knew this game would be for me once I got into it. I'm glad I gave it multiple tries.
