This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Really enjoying this game on the switch. Does anyone have any other recommendations for games like this set in a historical period?

If you mean a scrupulously accurate historical first-person RPG, then no. Kingdom Come pretty much stands alone there. But if you mean games that put a substantial effort into siting themselves in a historical period, then as the kids say: "I got you fam"

In no particular order:

-Expeditions: Rome & Expeditions: Viking (Tactics/RPG)
-Mount & Blade: Warband, Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword, and Mount & Blade: Bannerlord (Rpg/Simulator)
-Legends of Eisenwald (Tactics/RPG)
-Betrayer (Horror/FPS)
-Hellish Quart (Fighting)
-Medieval Kingdom Wars & Renaissance Kingdom Wars (Strategy)
-Manor Lords (Strategy/Building)
-Knights of Honor II: Sovereign (Strategy)
-Total War (Basically the whole series before 2016) (Strategy)
-BEAST: False Prophet (RPG/Tactics)
-Voor De Kroon (Tactics/Simulator)
-Felvidek (RPG)
-1428: Shadows over Silesia (Action/Puzzle)

That's just stuff on my radar. There's whole genres I don't play, and I kept it to just pre-modern Europe. There's a million modern historical games and a million Chinese/Japanese history games.
Playing: Mongoose Traveller 2e
Running: Dolmenwood
Planning: Too many things, and I should probably commit to one.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 will be the only other one, when that one comes out.
I'm feeling quite hungry, might need to play some more KCD.

I had fun back when only the demo was out, trying to do as much as I could before the.... thing happens that ruins Henry's day.   In the full game I managed to level up herbalism so high by picking all the plants in town, even managed to get +1 strength from "leg day" perk, really fun game.  The woods & copse feel so real, like you're walking through real wooded areas, its amazing I wish more developers would learn from what KCD did.
