Kingdom Come hasn't tried to condense a whole world into a game, but instead focused in on a 16 square kilometre area of rural Bohemia, and the dozen or so small villages and towns found there at the time. Instead, it's developer Warhorse's own Czech history brought to life from the year of 1403, and the detail with which it has been recreated is staggering. The RPG offering a first-person medieval simulation like an Elder Scrolls game, with a world living around you, but without the fantasy, magic and monsters. This is the dungeons-and-no-dragons role-playing game sprung from Kickstarter into a full-sized multiplatform release. Kingdom Come is the most believable adventure into medieval history I've ever experienced. But what you see isn't a fantasy world reinforced by a culture's past: it is a culture's past - its bones are made out of it. You feel your feet squelching in muddy, rutted paths, and smell the manure on the fields around you. The sense of time and place it conjures is astonishing.
There hasn't been a medieval world this real and substantial since The Witcher 3. Kingdom Come: Deliverance and the history it explores are inseparable.
