    Deep, polished gameplay wrapped around an interesting and engulfing universe with all of the bells and whistles RPG and action game lovers crave spread across enough content to keep you busy for months.

    Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning presents a world that is immaculately crafted and beautiful, yet still simple and accessible. Every corner reveals a person in need, a treasure to collect, a secret to uncover, a battle to wage. I don't know how much more time I'll spend in Amalur (dozens of hours? hundreds?), but I plan on savoring every minute.

    An enjoyable combat system isn't enough to save what is otherwise a rather lackluster RPG.

    What's the deal with 0 reviews? I mean it's just not possible that any game could be worth 0/10 points. That's mathematically incorrect, because the scale can only go from 1 as the lowest point to 10 at the highest.… Expand

    I wanted to like this game so bad. I had high hopes for this game, so i went and bought it on launch day. I initially loved it, the combat was great, the story wasnt awful, and the voice acting great. Though as I continued I found that the combat was repetitive, the quests were all the same (basically fetch quests). Maybey this just isnt my kind of game. For right now i think i'll stick with TES and Dragon age… Expand

    Maybe I did not give it enough time, but I simply couldn't get into the game - I didn't get what I was supposed to do, the dialogues annoyed me and I felt like I ran around aimlessly, killing and looting. Graphics are ok - I think the lack of facial animation and the camera have more to do with why I didn't enjoy that aspect as much as the cartoony shading.… Expand
