A True Medieval Masterpiece
If you thought Kingdom Come: Deliverance was immersive, wait until you play the sequel. KCD2 takes everything that made the first game great and improves on it—better combat, deeper quests, and an even more detailed medieval world.
Combat feels even more brutal and rewarding – strikes have weight, counters are satisfying, and mounted combat is actually useful.
Quests are top-tier – tons of choices, consequences, and memorable moments. No "fetch 10 wolf pelts" here.
The world is ridiculously detailed – NPCs have their own routines, the economy reacts to your actions, and the cities feel alive.
Graphics are stunning – Bohemia has never looked this good.
10/10 – Would get lost in the 15th century again.

Started as Henry, the blacksmith’s son, and immediately got thrust into a medieval disaster. My first quest? Help my dad with some simple chores. My second quest? Get a sword, run from Skalitz, get attacked by cumans and get my ass handed to me by a guy who was clearly way better at sword fighting than I’ll ever be. 10/10 ‘just a humble peasant’ simulator.

The combat is *amazing*... if you have the patience of a saint. I spent hours just getting my timing right on sword swings, only to end up in the mud, getting smacked around by a bandit who apparently spent the last 10 years training for this moment. You get better as you go, but good luck when you’re up against a group of dudes with better gear while you're still running around with a rusty sword and zero defense skills.

I spent more time in the inventory screen than I care to admit—trying to figure out which of my 10 knives I should use to skin a rabbit, and whether or not my chest had enough space for the 50 different hats I just looted.

The side quests are *super* detailed. Like, *too* detailed. You’ll end up looking for herbs in the forest for hours just because some guy asked you to, and suddenly you’re lost, starving, and now you need to get the local priest’s blessing just to be allowed back in town. It’s a medieval life simulator with all the pain of being an actual peasant.

Would absolutely try to sneak into a bandit camp again, even though I know I’ll get spotted by the first guy I try to pickpocket.

Spawned in, died, and immediately got screamed at for dying to a cannonball. 10/10 experience—felt like I was really there, except with worse reaction time. The officer’s yelling felt so real, I half expected a dishonorable discharge from my desk chair.

If you’ve ever wanted to experience the chaos of war, get vaporized by artillery, and still somehow be blamed for it, this game is for you. The camaraderie? Questionable. The yelling? Unrelenting. The deaths? Frequent. Truly the most authentic ‘you suck, recruit!’ simulator I’ve ever played. Would proudly become cannon fodder again.

Bananana

Spawned in as a lowly Viking in Odin's afterlife training ground. First task? Punch a tree. Second task? Get absolutely obliterated by a boar. Welcome to Valheim, where the gods watch as you flail, die, and try again like some kind of cosmic sitcom.

This game has everything: breathtaking vistas, brutal survival mechanics, and a deep crafting system that lets you build a glorious mead hall... only for a troll to casually stroll through and turn it into kindling. One minute, you're majestically sailing across uncharted seas, feeling like a proper Viking. The next? Your boat’s capsized, you're drowning, and Odin's ravens are probably laughing.

Every biome is an adventure—or a death trap. Meadows? Peaceful. Black Forest? Full of murder goblins. Swamps? Hope you like leeches bigger than your boat. Plains? Just... death mosquitoes.

If you want a survival game where every victory feels hard-earned, every death feels hilariously avoidable, and every moment makes you question Odin’s life choices, this is it. Would die to a boar again.

Good game 👍

Spawned in, broke a window to get into a house, immediately cut myself on the glass. Bled everywhere, got a bandage, and felt proud—then tripped over a fence and got eaten by zombies. 10/10 apocalypse simulator.

Project Zomboid doesn’t ask if you’ll die; it asks how. Will it be the infected scratch you ignored? The panicked run through a horde? Or the chili you cooked too long and burned your safehouse down? Every decision feels like balancing on a knife’s edge, except the knife is rusty, and you’ll probably die from tetanus.

One minute, you’re looting groceries like a pro. The next, you’re sprinting through the woods, being chased by an undead conga line because you decided to cook bacon at 2 a.m. and lit up the whole neighborhood. The game’s tagline should just be, ‘How much can you screw up before you die?’

It’s brutal, it’s unforgiving, and it’s somehow the funniest existential crisis you’ll ever have. Would absolutely die to a door alarm again.

VYPIČENÁ STOKA

Spawned in, spawned out, then spent the next hour running through a forest with no map, no food, and a desperate hope that I wouldn't get eaten by zombies or a player who thought I looked like dinner. 10/10 experience of extreme paranoia and poor decisions.

DayZ is a brutal lesson in survival where you're just one wrong move away from being either eaten by zombies, killed by a bandit, or catching a random bullet from some guy who thinks your backpack has better loot than his. The first half of the game is spent scavenging for cans of beans and desperately avoiding the horde of zombies that seem to be just a bit too fast for comfort. Then, when you think you’ve got everything you need, a dude with an M4 and a sniper rifle appears out of nowhere to ruin your day.

And let’s talk about other players. You can team up, form alliances, and share some beans... until you get shot in the back by your “friend” who just wants your gear. No one is safe. Trust no one. You can spend 10 minutes carefully walking into a town, only to be sniped from across the map by someone you never saw coming. Or, even better, you get caught by a guy with a gun who wants to play ‘friendly’—which means “I’ll follow you, then shoot you in the face the moment you turn around.”

Oh, and the real highlight: I found a helicopter crash site. My heart raced, thinking I was going to be the richest man in the apocalypse. Looted a weapon, but just as I was about to take off on foot... some guy behind me decided it was time for me to not escape. Shot in the back, bled out, and then I spent 20 minutes deciding if I should get back in and try again, or just accept that I was doomed to wander forever with only my beans for comfort.

DayZ is the perfect survival horror where you’re always 10 seconds away from your life ending. It’s horrifying. It’s addicting. And you will absolutely die... in the dumbest ways possible. Would definitely die to a guy hiding in a bush again.
