    It may lack the precision of, say Witcher 2's combat, but it makes for a style that can be picked up in seconds, customised to your own particular style of play and crowned with impressive arcade-style finishes... Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is a triumph that makes the prospect of a future MMO based on the same world and engine all the more enticing.

    Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning provides not only fast-action, but also a great story, a cool battle system and beautiful locations. Even if there are a few things you've already seen somewhere else, the developers from 38 Studios did a pretty good job.

    For all of these drawbacks, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is an intriguing, good-looking, game that has absolutely brought a new spin to the RPG genre.

    Great combat and mountains of loot can't compensate for Amalur's generic world design and familiar story. [May 2012, p.72]

    It was a solid, well done and greater battle system RPG that I played last year. In 2013 I wanna play the expansion, really anyone who likes RPG will love this game. The main quest are amazing.… Expand

    Really engaging and full of lore.

    A game which contains elements of Skyrim and WOW. Story is deep and fantastical as you could imagine bei    ng authored by decent fantasy writers. It looks pretty and plays well. The combat is much better than most RPG's.

    The game is huge with many quests that I ignored after the first zone. I just did the faction and main story quests and that took 36 hours, this game is huge. If you like your RPG's this is not a game you should miss.    … Expand

    Kingdoms of Amalur turned out to be a huge disappointment for me, I really did my best trying to love this game..yet i constantly feld bored after playing for 30minutes.eventually i spend over 40 hours playing the game hoping it would get any better...its a pretty big game but it just feel more like a free MMORPG..yeah but then on your own.....
    it pretty much doesnt add anything new to its genre..constantly i was send out doing quests like ...kill 10 spiders.....collect 5 donkey dicks....etc...the combat feels weird i was expecting something like Dark Souls..but its nothing like it.
    the story isnt event worth talking about..
    quite a shame considering some people from Oblivion are behind this.
    Im still confused about all the pretty high rates this game received    … Expand

    People are comparing the art style to Fable. Sure.... EXCEPT THAT FABLE LOOKS 100 TIMES BETTER. Okay, so the graphics are CRAP, hows the story? You want to know how interesting the story is? Well, I actually have no idea... BECAUSE I GOT SO BORED OF IT THAT I LITERALLY COULD NOT CARRY ON PLAYING. Yes, this is the first time in my nearly 10 years of gaming that I have not finished a games main story. Let me just warn you: This game is bad, very bad. And it is not worth your money. Sure the first few hours of gameplay will seem pretty interesting, but then fatigue sets in and you realize that there really is no point in playing this PIECE OF CRAP til' the end… Expand
