I guess you were expecting a very different game. I would challenge calling that "poor execution" though. I personally found the difficulty, the danger of combat, and the atmosphere to be the game's biggest strengths. I was looking for a game that properly made you feel like a medieval peasant.

Too many medieval RPGs are about fulfilling a power fantasy as some kind of badass, but I really liked that KC:D was more about the vibes of just being a relative nobody in a historically accurate medieval simulation.

I remember vividly the moment I failed a quest because I made the npc wait for too long and thinking "this game is one of a kind". It does take a while to get used to, but it certainly has its charm.

Or getting a "quest failed" because you told an NPC "we'll meet up later" instead of "we'll travel there together", and see his unarmed ass getting pounded into the ground by a group of bandits camping along the road. 😂

Yeah I love when games make time matter like that.
