Kingdoms Of Amalur Re-Reckoning Is AN UNWORTHY Remaster For A Great RPG

I love Kingdoms of Amalur as much as the next RPG fan, but this remaster feels like a missed opportunity to me. A lot of QOL enhancements go unchecked, but if you've never played this before then now is a good time to right that wrong. Ultimate, Kingdoms Of Amalur Re-Reckoning Is A UNWORTHY Remaster For A Great RPG.

It mostly comes down to expectations. All I wanted was a higher resolution version (since the PC version menus broke in higher resolutions in the old version making it unplayable) with some fixes. And I got exactly that... I didn't expect some giant revamping.

Given I already owned it on Steam so its only 16 bucks, I'm completely fine with it.

[danieldragotti]

It's good to see it back. I hope the DLC leads to a true sequel

[Silverfirefly]

I'm a console gamer that thought I'd missed out on this game in the last generation. I'd never heard of it at the time but it has a fine reputation.
I'm very pleased that I get to see for myself.
The criticism comes from people that enjoyed the game already and wanted more, from someone in my position this is still a good sign.

[Flambingo]

I'm kicking myself for having never even heard of the game before a few days ago. I'm just happy to play it at all, honestly.

[Pastyovercoat]

As a noob who never played the original I’m having a blast. I didn’t know what to expect so I wasn’t disappointed

[JerBuster]

They removed the level locked problem from the first game. That change alone makes this a must purchase.

[codypannell]

It really did deserve better. I'm still getting it so that I can hope it helps for a sequel or

[silentrpglord]

For 60 percent off plus expansion 21 wasn't bad for me. Hope they do address issues. If paying full price for pc id say no

I don't think the word "remaster" applies here. I got it on a sale with Steam because I already own the original (which I got on sale as soon as EA put it back on Steam). On my PC I do notice that, at default, some of the graphics are sharper and cleaned up. The controls are (for the most part) more responsive for me (blocking works better for me for example), and a lot of the work they put into this is mainly on the back end. I'm sure they are going to look at these bugs and patch them as fast as possible.

I personally say it is worth the money sink to show THQ Nordic that they made the right choice to bring back this beautiful work. If you've never played the game before, get Re-Reckoning. If you're a fan of it, support it. In reality, because it isn't tied to EA anymore, you'll probably have to buy it to get the new Fatesworn DLC when it drops anyway.

I think too many people hyped it up as a remaster which is why reviews like yours are happening. It is simply a slightly improved re-release. I think we will see improvements throughout the year leading up to Fatesworn and beyond though. We might also see a sequel with a similar art style but better graphics. Who knows what will be coming out beyond Fatesworn?

Loved the Original, one of top 5 games on 360, getting the Remaster and the Expansion

[alexsabre]

So I missed this when it first came out thanks to Skyrim and I've been watching a few streamers like Cohh and Fightin Cowboy play some on stream having a blast and I'm even more excited to play it. I've heard the criticisms and some are valid but the game is still a great RPG by all accounts updated and available on current gen and that's good enough for me. Got the Fate Edition ready to go.

[redeye]

Got that 60% discount on Steam cause I own the original, bought the fate edition for all of $23...really can't complain with that discount

[remmykun]

They spent more money creating the promotional cinematic than remastering the game... lol

[AliAhmed-ktec]

Wish there was option to Romance in the game. This is my favourite RPG after Dragons dogma

[damionval]

I think I'm gonna grab it solely on the grounds that I was head over heels with the original. I'll pay a little bit more to go through that nostalgia again on a new console.

[JawnSmith]

I hope enough people buy this that it warrants them making a sequel. I loved this game so much and I feel like it got so little attention. It seemed difficult to find people who had even heard of this game. I for one have been looking forward to playing this again. Especially now that it's on a handheld

[alighierig]

As far as I'm concerned bro, they fixed the level lock system so it's perfect

[RMeitzen]

Kingdoms of Amalur Re:Really the same game. Hopefully the Mass Effect trilogy remaster won't be as disappointing.

[Northwite]

Uh, the Jack of All Trades Route exists that literally allows you to play as All Classes at the same time so... you can do it all in one playthrough.

[thiagoporto]

I mean, it’s a remaster not a remake. For me it’s on par with other remasters such as Uncharted, God of War, and Dark Souls. Not mind blowing by any means, but a good excuse to play again through a game you like.
