10 hours in KCD and I'm hooked. Just realized I played 4hours straight today and it felt like 20 minutes. The immersion is actually crazy.
The best part is the freedom in how you handle quests. It doesn't just give you a "win" button..you have to think. Like if you want to take out a camp you can actually sneak in and poison their food or just kill them on their slee. It feels like your choices actually matter for the outcome.
I also love how the game makes you feel like a total "noob" at the start. You literally don't know anything,you can't fight, you can't read, and you can barely shoot an arrow. Watching Henry (and myself) slowly get better and actually land a perfect block or win a duel feels way more rewarding than just leveling up a stat bar. You start as a peasant and every bit of skill is actually earned. things like having to find a bed to heal or people reacting to how you look makes it way more satisfying than a standard RPG.
It’s definitely not a game you can rush, but that’s why it’s good. Solid 10/10 for the atmosphere alone.
