Being the head of a game development company working on a brand new intellectual property must really be a pleasure. For starters, you can look at what came before and borrow ideas from other games or you can look at what things failed in the past and learn from past mistakes. We’re proud to say that Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning took the majority of ‘good things’ and put them into their new franchise epic RPG action game.
Bottom line – Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning deserves high praise and will most likely get it from anyone who plays the game – we’ve provided some gameplay videos for you to see for yourself if you want to give the game a whirl or not. We played the game on the Xbox 360 (installed) and made it as far as level 16 before writing this article. Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning is available now for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC.
Do you remember the good old days, when video games put fast hack-and-slashing combat sequences and extensive levelling systems first and a deep narrative with memorable characters second? BigHuge Games certainly banked on gamers holding some kind of nostalgia for those titles of yore with their fantasy RPG Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning.
This is hilarious that i would see an article after I went and re-bought the game and playing it all week! I love the QTEs in this game its satisfying, the combat is fluid where you can switch from weapons to magic so easily, the weapons, armor, quests, character customizations, lore, world, voice acting, are all great this game has almost everything you'd need and want from an RPG!
I really wish there was going to be a KoAR 2!
COG writes - The games of the last generation were amazing and the COGconnected team decided to get together to countdown their favorites. The countdown inches to number 6 and the games are starting to get good... real good.
The journey comes to an end.
Would LOVE to see a sequel to this brilliant game. Wouldn't mind a remake for current gen systems either.
I think EA owns the rights to it now. I loved the game as well. A rare gem overlooked.
Went into a cave for a mission...Mission glitches and I can't start the mission or exit the cave...Auto save and manual saves are within the cave....I messed up so bad I quit. Really good game though.
such a great game, shame about the studio.
to produce something of that quality as their first title, just imagine what they could have done with more experience.
