Reviews
“…Reckoning will be discussed when Game of the Year 2012 rolls around.
It has brought the conversation about what combat can be in the role-playing
genre to the forefront and sets the bar exceptionally high for its future
contemporaries in the genre. But don't let its competition-shaming gameplay lull
you into think that that's all this game has to offer, because that's just
gloss on an overall package that's bound to impress the RPG faithful.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning isn't the perfect game. Its random technical
hiccups and inconsistent art style certainly holds it back from even higher
levels of greatness. But no matter what you're looking for, whether it be
amazing gameplay, immersive storytelling or perhaps a riveting new world to
explore as you fully customize and re-customize your character at will,
Reckoning has it all. And after I jump back into my own game to clean up all of
the optional stuff I didn't do, I sense I'll want even more. And yes, so will
you.” 9/10 – IGN
“…Amalur does a lot of things better than some of the best out there. The
combat is stronger than Skyrim's by a long shot, and the world feels more alive
than games like Fable. It tells a good story well, and lays the foundation for a
series we hope to see more of in the future, fate be damned.” 8/10
Games Radar
“…If there's one thing this game suffers from, it's originality. Other
than that, Kingdoms of Amalur delivers on almost every level. Overall this is a
gigantic and well-developed RPG which will keep you playing for a long time to
come.” 81/100 PS Focus
“If you consider yourself an RPG addict, you'll surely find plenty of
things to do in the world of Amalur. Intense storytelling, fast paced action and
hundreds of quests will kill your free time like never before.” 9/10
