Last year, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 was a resounding reminder of the way the best open-world games can truly immerse you in not only a place, but also a point in time. Kinstrife, a new, non-linear medieval adventure from former Mount and Blade modders, aims to deliver that similar sense of truly living in the world it presents. As a knight errant in the tumult and turmoil of 13th-century Germany, you set out with just your trusty sword by your side, gradually building up your reputation, wealth, and followers as you write your name in the history books.
