9 100+ Hour Video Games You NEED To Play

4. Kingdom Come: Deliverance

It might not be the first game that comes to mind when you think about essential 100+ hour video game experiences but Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a phenomenal and frequently underrated RPG from Warhorse Studios.

Set in historically accurate mediaeval Bohemia, the game lets you loose with an RPG system that is far more flexible than what you’d find in most games of its genre. You can spec into all sorts of things and your stats and abilities will evolve just by using them as well as your choices of how you interact with the world and those within it. Quests are equally flexible and built to allow you to choose your approach from multiple alternatives, while the game’s combat utilises an inverse kinematics physics system.

I’m going to be straight with you, I don't know what that means but it’s basically combat prowess that’s dependent on the speed and force with which an attack is delivered. I think.

Kingdom Come isn’t for everybody as evidenced by some of the 3s and 4s out of 10 it was awarded upon launch but those that looked past its tricky save system and bugs praised its realism, attention to detail, expansive and involved quests, and compelling story.
