Military hardware,especially late 19th early 20th century warships. Aircraft, warships, military vehicles from all eras, what it’s are all fun. Firearms collecting. Kaiju movies, generic weird s**t.
The story of Henry, a blacksmith's son, plays out against a backdrop of events in the medieval Kingdom of Bohemia.
The game strives for historical accuracy and realism in events, locations, housing, clothing, etc.

Unfortunately, the game has come under attack by the SJW's perpetually pissed platoon of pillocks.
The criticism centering on the lack of racial 'diversity' in the game.
The same bunch of lunatics are attacking the upcoming Netflix series The Witcher
Based on a Polish author's series of books and developed into a series of 3 video games by a Polish company,
set in a Eastern European folklore setting with the main character being an albino, Geralt of Rivia, aka the 'White Wolf'
Ridiculously, there are arguments being put forward to have him played by a Black or an Asian.
This cadre of kooks seem to be having little effect on sales of Kingdom Come:Deliverance
Libs Boycott All-White Video Game, Record Sales Prove How Wrong They Are
Such criticism was not appreciated by the game’s developer, Daniel Vávra.“I am making a game about the history of my country … all of a sudden there are people telling me that I should not make it as it really was,
or how I as an author feel it should be, but as it should have been according to their political views,” he said in a 2015 interview with Breitbart.“There is a very vocal minority accusing games industry of non-existent crimes
and giving people who don’t conform to their narrative various libellous labels.
It’s already created a very toxic atmosphere,” he added.All true, though clearly, Vávra’s commitment to stick to the facts has paid off.
As noted by conservative commentator Milo Yiannapolous’s website Dangerous,
Vávra’s game “sold more copies on the PC in two days than most ‘triple A’ titles have, despite being put up at a discounted price.”Or, as writer Ian Miles Cheong put it succinctly in the Dangerous piece: “The boycott isn’t going as planned.”
As I'm in the middle of a couple of other games,
I'll probably hold off buying this until the price comes down a notch or two.
I would be interested in hearing the thoughts of anyone that is playing it now,
or has opinions based on what they can glean about the game from watching videos.

From what I’ve read and seen, KC has very good graphics, but the player is kept at such a low level in the narrative, I don’t see the pheromone payoff for ‘winning’ it. Dark Souls III had enough self-torture to last me a lifetime.
