At first I was so bored with this game but as you progress it just becomes so immersive and educational.

Decided to play the first game after seeing all the reviews and hype around KCD2. Despite being afraid of how janky the game could be (not to mention 1st person POV is not my thing) I'm glad playing this first before the 2nd one because it added more depth to Henry. This game opened my eyes how RPG games is played and sometimes the outcomes are straight funny. Not getting used to being evil and steal everything I can see but hey at least I can loot bandits. The experience of not being able to read from first POV was funny, and alchemy is somewhat fun as well. There's a rewarding feeling of getting better in the combats after training a lot. Main story quests are very engaging, and the side quests can be downright hilarious.
There are some buggy issues when I started playing, sometimes loading wouldn't end after fast travel but after a while it doesn't really happen anymore. Also Mutt getting in the way of corridor/doors that Henry can't get out lol.
Jesus Christ be praised!

forget why i deleted this game now i remembered, The clunky mechanics still are trash af. This game is quite terrible from not being able to look where you want during combat to just wanting to save and turn off to go to work but you cant save unless you have savor schnaps. lmao cant even enjoy mild grinding cause if you die or turn off the game or have it crash because you adjusted the gamma, it erases all your data cause it wont let you save.
who the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ thought not letting you save was a good idea? dude people have jobs and just want to game, not repeat the same 3 missions over and over again because its slow and you cant save progress

For someone who's never played kcd before , i found the game at the beggining pretty hard to get a grasp on and pretty frustrating , but once you get into it you'll discover such a beautiful game and one of the best rpg's i've played and i'm only 30 hours in , looking foward for more.
I played KCD2 before this one. This one is a perfect prequel, and frankly the normal mode on this one is like twice as hard as hardcore mode on KCD2. Good challenge for KCD2 fans who, like me, stumbled across the 2nd one before the first.

A classic with great soundtrack, not very well optimized though

Gutes Game aber das Kampfsystem ist wirklich ausbaufähig. Das kämpfen gegen einzelne Gegner ist ganz ok, gegen mehrere macht es echt keinen Spaß.
Gegen einzelne Gegner hat man Finten auf die Gegner nicht reinfallen und Masterstrikes die ich deutlich schwieriger finde als Parries in Soulslikes. Dazu riskieren Masterstrikes, dass man zu früh blockt und dann stirbt. Abgesehen davon hat man nur Combos, welche in der Regel abgewehrt werden. In Summe ist das Kampfsystem hier einfach nicht durchdacht.
Gegen mehrere Gegner ist es kompletter Quatsch. Hier ist man gezwungen von weit weg mit dem Bogen zu schießen, da man im Nahkampf einfach nicht gegen 3 Leute gewinnen wird, sobal diese Rüstung und Schilde tragen.
Ich habe gehört, dass das im zweiten Teil besser sein soll. Dennoch ist auch der erste ein gutes Spiel
