Review: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning isn’t Skyrim - GameJudgment

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and Skyrim are both western open world RPG's, but that's where the similarities end.

KOA: Reckoning is a solid title that deserves recognition.

I'll have to give this a try. I like the idea of being able to totally redo my character without starting a new game. What a cool idea.

GribbleGrunger4810d ago

i promise you it's easily a 9.5/10.

i'm 72 hours into it and not even completed half of the game yet. it's a pleasure to play and the fighting system is the best i've ever seen in a real time RPG

Captain Qwark 94810d ago

its solid no doubt but dark souls has a better combat system.

kingdoms is prob an 8-8.5 for me. there isnt much to dislike about kingdoms but for some reason im not hooked on it like i was dark souls for example.

jinjojuice4810d ago

After 230 hours on skyrim kindoms of amular is a nice change.only 32 hrs into it but only done 32 sidequest,2 faction missions and about 4 of the main storyline.the maps huge only explored hslf of one side up to yet.

DARKhoG4810d ago

Too much time on your hands JinjoJuice lol

jinjojuice4810d ago

Just call me mr no life lol

Hicken4810d ago

Would that, by any chance, make you the No Life King?

On topic: were people really expecting KoA to be Skyrim?

TheSleepyGamer4810d ago

I initially enjoyed KoA but after around 30 hours or so I just lost interest. No idea why. Can't seem to bring myself to go back and play.

I'll most likely return to the game in the future.

Looking Back at Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning

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.

Best action rpg of its generation. Loved it.

Soulst0rmer2724d ago

This deserves to be on Switch

execution172724d ago

Loved the world and combat, just horrible timing for the release tho :/

Matrix62724d ago

Would play a remaster next gen

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!

Phoenix Down 49.2 – Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

The journey comes to an end.

InMyOpinion3262d ago

Would LOVE to see a sequel to this brilliant game. Wouldn't mind a remake for current gen systems either.

Hypnotic3262d ago

Last I heard this studio went out of business so I would think a remaster is pretty unlikely.

InMyOpinion3260d ago

Never say never, Darksiders 2 got a remaster.

phantomexe3262d ago

I think EA owns the rights to it now. I loved the game as well. A rare gem overlooked.

rezzah3261d ago

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.

hazelamy3261d ago

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.
